00:00 Um, King of Hot Topics, we got this a lot.
00:03 Basically, people want to know what's going on
00:06 with you and Vanessa.
00:07 Do you guys hang out?
00:09 I haven't seen her in a long time.
00:11 Ashley Tisdale is weighing in on where things stand
00:13 between her and Vanessa Hudgens.
00:15 And you might be intrigued by what she had to say
00:17 about Vanessa's ex, Austin Butler.
00:19 When the Disney Channel alum stopped by
00:21 Watch What Happens Live this week,
00:22 Andy Cohen relayed a much asked question from viewers
00:25 who were curious about the status
00:26 of her and Vanessa's friendship.
00:28 While the two were tight for years,
00:30 they haven't been seen together in some time,
00:32 leading some to wonder if there was a rift between them.
00:34 Ashley told Andy that it has been a while
00:36 since she and Vanessa have seen each other
00:38 and attributed it to their busy lives.
00:40 I haven't seen her in a long time.
00:42 You know, like I think we're just,
00:43 obviously she's working, I'm working.
00:46 I have a daughter, so it's like, you know,
00:47 she's a full-time job.
00:49 Yeah.
00:50 Speculation that the two weren't as close as before
00:52 sparked last year when Vanessa married Cole Tucker
00:55 and Ashley didn't appear in the photos
00:56 shared from the wedding.
00:57 Other High School Musical co-stars
00:59 were confirmed to have attended.
01:00 Monique Coleman shared video of her celebrating with Vanessa
01:03 and posing with fellow wedding guest, Lucas Grabiel.
01:06 Ashley and Vanessa first became friends
01:07 working together on the HSM franchise in the mid-2000s.
01:10 Ashley later became friends with Austin Butler,
01:12 who she starred with in Aliens in the Attic
01:14 and Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure.
01:16 And Austin and Vanessa went on to date
01:18 for the better part of a decade
01:19 before news broke of their split in 2020.
01:21 Ashley also talked about her friendship with Austin
01:23 and raved about his rise in Hollywood.
01:25 I definitely knew he was destined
01:28 for what he's doing now, but he is such a cutie
01:32 and he's, like, so amazing and so talented.
01:35 In the wake of Austin and Vanessa's split,
01:37 Ashley appeared to still be close
01:38 with both Vanessa and Austin.
01:40 In the spring of 2021, Vanessa notably met
01:42 Ashley's baby girl, Jupiter,
01:44 and Ashley posted photos of the infant with her Aunt Nessa.
01:47 The following month, Ashley told Access Hollywood
01:49 that Vanessa was one of the few people
01:50 who knew Jupiter's name before she was born,
01:52 and she detailed what it was like
01:54 to introduce her pal to her newborn.
01:55 It was awesome.
01:56 It was really cool.
01:57 It's, like, such a surreal moment.
02:00 It's also just, like, really surreal
02:02 because, unfortunately, obviously,
02:04 during, you know, the pandemic,
02:06 that was the negative was that I did not get to experience
02:09 being pregnant with my friends around me
02:11 and, like, going to lunch and them seeing, like, my bump.
02:14 You know, like, I saw Vanessa very,
02:17 like, really late in my third trimester
02:20 'cause I was, like, really up on lockdown.
02:22 Like, I just fully, especially when I got pregnant,
02:25 I was like, "Ugh, not going anywhere."
02:28 But, so it's, like, weird
02:29 because, like, people haven't seen me in a while
02:30 and then you're like, "Here's my baby."
02:31 (laughs)
02:32 It was, like, such a different life.
02:34 But it was so cool, and she just, like,
02:37 fell in love with Vanessa.
02:38 I think she just knew how important she was to me
02:40 'cause she, like, reached out her arms to her,
02:42 and Vanessa was just, like, teary-eyed,
02:44 and she was just, like, couldn't believe.
02:46 She just kept on staring at her.
02:47 It was, like, so cute.
