It looks like Zac Efron, 33, and Vanessa Valladares‘ relationship is still going strong despite a recent report. The actor and his lady love were seen jetting into Sydney, Australia from Adelaide together on Dec. 18 and looked comfortable around each other while carrying their luggage at the airport. Hunky Zac looked casually cool in a black T-shirt and tan shorts while gorgeous Vanessa walked beside him in a long light green button-down top over a white dress.
In addition to their stylish well-fitted clothing, Zac and Vanessa wore face masks and casual shoes. The High School Musical star opted for a black covering and gray flip flops and the brunette beauty went with a turquoise covering and white sneakers. The also kept things low-key with hats and sunglasses.
Zac and Vanessa’s latest outing comes after a source told The Sun that “fate wasn’t on their side” and they’d broken up due to Zac’s work commitments after five months of dating. “Zac has been renting a place by the beach in Byron Bay and by September Vanessa was living with him there,” the source said. “So 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, who’s been staying in Adelaide while filming the upcoming movie, Gold, for most of the year, met Vanessa when she was working at the Byron Bay General Store & Café. They started up a romance around five months ago and although they’ve been seen on numerous outings in Australia, they’ve been pretty private about the relationship. Still, the talented star is apparently “crazy” about his new love.
“Zac is crazy about Vanessa and he loves that she’s not from the Hollywood scene, but still fits in so comfortably with any crowd,” a source EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife in Oct. “She’s so down to earth and really doesn’t care about impressing people because she has such a laid back personality and doesn’t stress over the details. Zac can’t wait for Vanessa to meet his family in person back in the US because his family means the world to him.”
