Vanessa Hudgens Shares Rare Throwback With Ex Zac Efron

by

Vanessa Hudgens is saying ok to a very rare acknowledgement of Zac Efron.  

Originally, the former star of High School Musical (now a mother to her first child with husband Cole Tucker, born in July) posted a peek of her past with ex-Zac Efron on social media, reminiscing about old times.

In a post on her Instagram Story dated April 16th, Vanessa shared a clip from her 2007 “Say OK” music video featuring her then-boyfriend Zac in the lead role. She reminisced about the side-swept bang hairstyle she sported during that time, saying it was a significant fashion moment.

However, without directly confirming it, the 36-year-old woman didn’t deny that Zac Efron, her ex-boyfriend from 2005 to 2010, appeared in a brief video of hers. The video also highlighted her daring side bang hairstyle.

Two years following Vanessa’s portrayal in “The Princess Switch,” she subtly shared a post about her ex-boyfriend, who was previously linked with Austin Butler from 2011 to 2020. This social media action stirred reflection on how her past relationships have shaped her.

She shared that while people may perceive only a part of her life, she has experienced two profound, transformative relationships that remain largely unknown to others. In 2022, when she was just months away from marrying Cole, she spoke about this with Nylon magazine, hinting at the intriguing stories that will one day be shared in her memoir.

During their relationship that was heavily publicized through the Disney Channel’s High School Musical franchise during the 2000s, Vanessa and Zac kept their personal triumphs and struggles largely private.

In Ashley Spencer’s book, “Disney High: The Rise and Fall of Disney’s Tween Empire”, Lucas Grabeel, who once shared the screen with the ex-pair, reminisced about their tumultuous relationship dynamics during filming.

In the book, released last year, Lucas remarked, “He was like both the sun and the moon to her,” referring to the poor girl.

Lately, it appears they’ve put their past issues aside. As for Vanessa, she shared with Cosmopolitan in 2020 that it has been years since she last interacted or saw Zac. Moreover, her famous “T as in Troy?” necklace from High School Musical 2 is currently gathering dust.

Last year, Zac eagerly anticipated Vanessa’s arrival as a mother, remarking that she would undoubtedly excel in this role and be an exceptional mom.

He hinted that their rift might be resolved, as he shared with Access Hollywood in June: “There are some exciting family get-togethers on the horizon.
