He's previously dated Vanessa Hudgens, Lily Collins, and Sami Miró. Efron was last linked to Australian model Vanessa Vallardes in 2020. However, after 10 months of dating, the two reportedly called it quits, per Elle.
Since his debut as Troy Bolton in Disney Channel's High School Musical franchise in 2006, Efron has dated several famous women, including Lily Collins, Michelle Rodriguez and, of course, his High School Musical co-star (and the second half of Zanessa), Vanessa Hudgens.
Vanessa Hudgens has been in high-profile relationships for as long as she's been in the public eye. Since 2005, the "High School Musical" star has been been romantically linked to four partners.
An Australian Instagram influencer known for dishing the dirt, Winnie Blues, shared some info this week... apparently Zac Efron is a great lover in bed. A woman anonymously confessed that the High School Musical actor is "the nicest guy" and all about pleasing his lady.
Although the duo never officially confirmed their relationship, Lily and Zac dated on and off between 2012 and 2013. They were spotted holding hands at Disneyland in October 2013, according to People, and even spent Valentine's Day together in 2012. Their relationship eventually fizzled.
While Zac Efron clearly enjoys his role as an uncle, he is not ready to be a dad. The 35-year-old has grown into more adult roles since he first rose to teen dream fame, and recently played the father of actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong in the film Firestarter.
He is straight. But while Zac Efron isn't gay, he's always been a vocal LGBT ally. He's repeatedly expressed love for his LGBT fans and publicly supports same-sex marriage.
'He was so down down-to-earth and really easy to work with,' Susie, 51, said in an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Australia this week. 'Zac's such a hard worker, he never once complained he was in the (outback) heat. You often think because someone's like a famous movie star ... but he was so cool. '
Zac had the drive, motivation, and grit. He was so ready for everything. He went through a lot of two-a-days. I'd put him through a serious weight-training workout, then he'd do lifeguard training for two or three hours, or bike for about 30 miles.
Personal life. In 2021, Hudgens confirmed via Instagram that she was in a relationship with Major League Baseball shortstop Cole Tucker. Hudgens and Tucker reportedly got engaged at the end of 2022. Hudgens was raised Catholic but now identifies as a non-denominational Christian.
Fans have shown interest in the actress' love life since her first public relationship with her High School Musical costar Efron. After meeting in 2005 on the set of the Disney Channel Original Movie that made them household names, Hudgens and Efron quickly fell in love and dated until December 2010.
In the case of Hudgens, she dated Austin Butler for almost nine years and is now engaged to Cole Tucker. While it's highly unlikely that anything else will come out of this, it's nice that despite their break up, Zac and Vanessa can remain friends. “High School Musical” fans can have this win.
While Efron no longer follows a vegan diet, he admitted that he does have regrets about the lifestyle change, as “morally” he wishes he was able to be vegan. “Morally, of course, I still wish I was vegan,” he said.
A few months later, they began publicly wearing matching silver rings on their right index fingers, which fans speculated could be promise rings. "This is just a ring from a friend I got," Efron insisted.
ICYMI, Zac and Vanessa were once IRL Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez. The former couple dated from 2005 to 2010, after meeting on the set of Disney's High School Musical. Details of their split remained mostly hush-hush, but Vanessa told Shape in 2011 that distance took a toll on their relationship.
The camaraderie between them was obvious whenever they were interviewed or appeared on red carpets together. Additionally, they show each other a lot of love on social media, with Efron even posting online that Johnson is “perfect” and referring to him as his “sensei.”
Anyone who's seen the movie can attest that Efron's body looks almost unreal on screen. That's because the process of achieving the muscly physique involved extreme tactics, including overtraining, eating the same three meals a day, and taking a powerful diuretic called Lasix, reports the publication.
Zac and Vanessa were together for five years before they shocked the world and called it quits in 2010. “It [was] nothing dramatic,” a source told E! News at the time of their breakup. “There [was] no third party involved.” Another insider added, “They were together for so long.
Collins and McDowell don't have any children, but they do share an adorable puppy that graces each of their Instagram accounts. Collins posted a photo on Dec. 18, 2019 of "baby Redford," a dog they rescued from Love Leo Rescue.
