HSM-heartthrob, the man of our dreams and probably our longest running crush of all time, Zac Efron is single once again. The actor and his girlfriend, Vanessa Valladres have reportedly broken up after 10 months of dating.

The duo met when Zac was in Australia to film a movie and visited the cafe where Vanessa worked. Could you imagine, though? One faithful June summer day and *the* Zac Efron not only visits you at work, but also falls in love with you. *sigh* Hey Alexa, Play What Dreams Are Made Of by Hilary Duff.

This isn’t the first time rumours of their breakup have made the news. Earlier in November 2020, a source told The Sun “Zac and Vanessa looked like the real deal. They were besotted with each other. Once he decided to stay in Australia long term, he suggested they buy their first home. They’d started to look at a few places, but sadly, fate wasn’t on their side. Zac’s work and the ­­enforced distance has really taken its toll.”

However, it seemed as though all was right in the world when all of those claims were refuted in December 2020 with another source telling Us Weekly that Zac and Vanessa are very much together. Adding that he’s loving life in Australia and is settled down and extremely happy with his GF! “It’s serious,” said the source. “He’s living eight hours outside of Sydney. Nobody bothers him. He hangs out with the Hemsworths. He goes surfing. He’s coming a long way from partying in L.A.”

Well, sounds to me like they were quite the pair and she really did make him happy so here’s hoping they’re not *too* torn up over the breakup. I guess it just boils down to the fact that he had to go his own way…

Sending love (and my number in your DMs), Zac.
