It's no secret that Ashley Tisdale also shares a close friendship with her "High School Musical" co-star Vanessa Hudgens. So when she began dating Austin Butler in 2011, Tisdale couldn't be happier for her two best friends. She shared her feelings about their love in a People interview, saying, "It's great because Austin was my best friend since way before they got together. So it's just nice to have your two best friends be in a relationship." Tisdale also shared that she and her husband Christopher French loved having the couple over for double dates that were mostly casual dinners.
Sometimes they would take things up a notch by having themed parties and donning matching onesies. In 2021, she shared a heartfelt Instagram post for Butler's 30th birthday in which she expressed how proud she was of him before adding, "You've been my closest friend through the years, you're the type of friend that came over when I was crying on the floor from a horrible breakup and not only lifted me off the ground but brought my favorite candy."
She shared that she never believed she'd find somebody who inherently understood her like Butler, but that changed with her husband, whom Butler welcomed like a brother. Tisdale also said that she believed Butler's mother, who tragically passed away due to cancer, would be so proud of his accomplishments. She ended the post with a cheeky remark about how she convinced him to join "Sharpays Fabulous Adventure."
