The gossip about Zac Efron’s romantic life started with High School Musical and it never really died down. It makes sense, Zac is a talented actor, he seems like a genuinely lovely guy, and he’s absolutely freaking gorgeous. Who wouldn’t want to know all about him? Perhaps some of his fans just want to know who’s his type, and the rest are just nosy curious people who can’t help but wonder about who he’s dating. But you know, it’s not like Zac is being super secretive, he seems to love mixing work and pleasure. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?
Perhaps this obsession the public has with Zac Efron’s dating life started because his first big relationship that we knew of was with his co-star on High School Musical – Vanessa Hudgens. Sparks were flying on-screen between their characters and clearly that transitioned into their real lives, the actors actually dated too, so naturally, it felt like it was meant to be. However, Zac and Vanessa ended their relationship after 5 years.
A similar thing happened when Zac was playing Ted Bundy (yes, it does sound creepy when we put it like that). There were a lot of rumors about him dating his co-star Lily Collins. I mean, do we wanna get into the whole idea of playing a serial killer who would lure his victims in by being attractive and charming and popular with the ladies? Yeah, let’s not. Let’s just focus on the fact that while neither Zac nor Lily confirmed the relationship, they were seen out in public holding hands. Are we really going to believe they were just friends?
And then there was Alexandra Daddario, who Zac worked with on Baywatch.
It’s easy to see why sparks would fly on that set. Perfectly sculpted bodies, swimsuits all around, perfect shots of gorgeous people running on the beach and swimming and saving people. It’s like that set was a perfect backdrop to spark up a romance. But did Zac and Alexandra actually date?
Well, it’s hard to tell. They definitely looked like they were dating. They hung out together, they seemed very flirty with each other, and they did post some truly adorable pics on social media together? But was that all just marketing for the movie?
Some sources say they were dating on and off for a while, but it wasn’t really serious. Other’s say they never dated at all.
Alexandra vaguely said in one of her interviews that they are just good friends. But we know what “good friends” can mean in Hollywood and we know Zac’s track record with his co-stars. Either way, they looked like a very cute couple.
