Vanessa Hudgens, 33, and Austin Butler , 30, had a long 9-year relationship going back to 2011. Now the former couple is both in happy relationships, with the Elvis star booed up with Kaia Gerber, 20, and Hudgens with professional baseball player Cole Tucker. But an old photo has fans talking, because it turns out the High School Musical star, who is 13 years older than the model met on a red carpet in 2007, when Gerber was 5.
