Are Troy and Gabriella Reuniting? Fans Speculate on Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens’ Relationship Status
3 min read
Back in the day, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were considered one of Hollywood’s most prominent couples, but the pair called it quits in 2010 and opted to go their separate ways. Zac Efron has put fans of the High School Musical trilogy into a frenzy. After approximately 13 years of split, the American actor unexpectedly began following Vanessa Hudgens, and fans were unable to contain their excitement. There is no clear explanation for why Efron decided to follow Hudgens on Instagram, but fans don’t seem to care. Some Twitter users thought that this might be an indication of a High School Musical reunion. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens originally met when screening for the first High School Musical film in 2005.
Although the couple never revealed when they began dating, it is popularly assumed that the two began dating whilst filming the first High School Musical movie. Their on-screen and off-screen romance quickly won everyone’s hearts, and they rose to prominence as one of Hollywood’s most renowned couples in the late 2000s. In June 2007, the pair began wearing identical silver rings on their index fingers. Fans believed that the rings were promise rings, but neither Efron nor Hudgens said anything about it. After nearly 4 years of relationship, the couple broke up in December 2010. Though the cause for their breakup was never disclosed, Vanessa Hudgens stated that long distance was undoubtedly a key part.

In an interview with Shape, she said that long-distance relationships are difficult no matter what. You just have to deal with it differently when you aren’t face-to-face with someone. Although having an iPhone helped, it wasn’t the same. Having grown up together, we had a lot in common. The fact that she was able to share all those experiences with someone was very comforting, she said. Although Efron has dated many actresses over the years, his most recent relationship was with Australian model Vanessa Valladares, with whom he broke up in 2021. Hudgens dated Austin Butler for nine years before splitting with him in 2020, however. It was reported in February 2021 that she was dating baseball shortstop Cole Tucker, and they got engaged in February of this year. Fans are ecstatic about the follow and have been expressing their gratitude.
