On October 25, she debunked speculation that she was pregnant in an Instagram video from her bachelorette party in Aspen.
‘[Eyeroll emoji] “I’m not pregnant so y’all can stop,” she told fans in the comments section, which was filled with remarks like “Oh my God, she’s pregnant” and another sentence, “She’s actually pregnant.”
Others came to Vanessa’s defense as one said: “For those commenting on pregnancy it’s rude. “We’re human! She’s happy, so please don’t comment about her body if you don’t want someone to ask you about it.”
Regardless, in her video post, Vanessa shared several fun clips from the trip with her friends, including one of her wearing a white silk wedding dress and a long coat.
One telltale sign that should have proven to her followers that she wasn’t pregnant is that she popped a bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne in the clip.
In September, Vanessa revealed that she learned firsthand how fun, but also how tedious and expensive wedding planning can be.
The High School Musical alum will walk down the aisle with her Major League Baseball fiancé, Cole.
