Vanessa Hudgens Reflects On Dating Zac Efron 9 Years After Breakup

Zac Efron Celebrates the September Issue of Details Magazine

Vanessa Hudgens says she feels fortunate to have dated her former High School Musical co-star Zac Efron.

In a new interview on the Awards Chatter podcast show this week, the actress and singer opened up about her years-long romance with her castmate, whom she met while shooting the 2006 Disney Channel Original Movie.

ā€œIt started off really organically. I could not have been more grateful to have that relationship at the time,ā€ the 30-year-old reflected. ā€œIt was this massive phenomenon and [all] eyes were on me. And itā€™s just a really weird foreign thing to go through, and by being in a relationship, it kind of kept me stabilized and grounded, and I had someone to lean on who was going through it as well."

However, Hudgens, who also played the 31-year-old's love interest throughout the film franchise, said things between the couple weren't always great ā€” and recalled a lesser-known dispute she had with Efron on set.

ā€œI remember one time we did have a fight and it was while we were at rehearsals," she explained, "and I remember Kenny Ortega coming around the corner with the most concerned look on his face like, ā€˜Oh no, is our movie going to fall apart right?ā€™ā€

While the "Say OK" artist didn't divulge what her conflict with Efron was about, she said "we sorted it all out," reiterating that, "because I was so young, I think that relationship stabilized me.ā€

The pair's behind-the-scenes relationship lasted from 2005 until 2010. Hudgens has since been dating actor-singer Austin Butler for eight years.
