He told his co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson that he spoke to the actor to speak about the upcoming Netflix show, Byron Baes, and the rumours Zac was trying to get Vanessa on the influencer-focused ‘docu-soap’, that Kyle refused to believe.
When he asked his pal about the rumours, Zac admitted that he and Vanessa were no longer together.
Kyle said their split was ‘recent’ but not ‘yesterday recent’, and that there was ‘no drama’ in their breakup, and claimed that Zac was simply getting back into the swing of work and their busy lives weren’t in sync.
Zac embarked on a whirlwind romance with the model after he met her waiting tables at Byron Bay’s General Store & Café in July 2020.

‘Zac sent her home from the set [Down to Earth with Zac Efron] last week. There still may have been a chance.
‘I’m sure the final nail in the coffin was him seeing the story of her being possibly on Byron Baes and the claims that he was helping her get on it.’
The source also claimed that Zac doesn’t read media reports about him so was ‘very hurt’ when a friend showed him the story, adding: ‘He is an absolutely down to earth person, not fancy, quite humble.’

The reality show, set to be called ‘Byron Baes’, plans to follow the lives of social media influencers on the trendy town’s beaches.
However the plans for the show have been met with plenty of opposition from locals, including Mayor Simon Richardson.
Richardson told the ABC the ‘vacuous, fake show’ could damage the town’s reputation and bring ‘not just sensitivity challenges for us, but also economic challenges’. Locals have branded the concept ‘tacky and trashy’.
