Hudgens told PEOPLE in March that the engagement took her by surprise, even though she knew the moment would come eventually.

“I was extremely surprised,” she said of Tucker’s proposal. “We definitely talked about it, but I didn’t expect it to happen the way it did and when it did. It definitely caught me off guard and I cried.”

During an appearance in April at Today with Hoda and Jenna, Hudgens has been honest about her feelings about the engagement.

“It feels amazing. It’s so funny, I was talking about this with Cole… People always ask, ‘Do you feel different?’ [Do] things feel different [getting engaged]?’ ” she shared. “That’s always been my question, but now they’re asking me.”

“And you know what, it actually is,” he said Knight before Christmas the star continued. “There’s a sense of security. You feel so safe. It’s the best thing ever. I love being a fiancee.”
