“There was one other girl there for Gabriella, one other guy there for Troy. We swapped, mixed and matched and yeah, that was it,” Vanessa explained on iHeartRadio’s “Get Your Head In The Game” podcast.

“Coming from a musical theater background, that was and still is where my heart remains. So, I was very excited,” she added. “Of course I was a child and paired with this boy and I was like, ‘Oh my god, he’s so cute.’ The chemistry was so real.”

About having chemistry with him, she said, “Yeah, it really does [help]…especially when you’re young and it’s all sweet and innocent.”

“It’s so funny looking back, I was so innocent but I was also playing so innocent, so it was like the hat on the hat. Like, wow, she’s really pure,” she added. “That totally was who I was, but the little rebellious teen side of me was like, ‘No, this isn’t me!’” she added.

Now, Vanessa is married to Cole Tucker and they are expecting their second child!
