In a 2021 interview on the Drew Barrymore Show, Vanessa Hudgens discussed her first encounter with Tucker, who she met at a Yoga class. According to the actress:

"I’m such a go-getter. If I want something or someone, I’m going after him, I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, ‘Hey, it was nice to meet you.’ I think there’s no shame in making the first move. If you want it, why wait for someone else to give you what you want?”
