Who needs a Hollywood hunk anyway? Zac Efron’s ex-girlfriend Vanessa Valladares puts on a brave face as she catches up with a gal pal in Byron Bay
Her whirlwind romance with Hollywood hunk Zac Efron officially came to an end in April.

The barista-turned-model, 26, beamed as she chatted with her fair-haired pal over take-away coffees while relaxing outdoors in the town’s trendy Habitat precinct.

Looking typically stylish, the brunette sported a white button-down blouse with quirky cut-outs at the side, and a pair of grey stone-pipe jeans.
She completed her look with a pair of black brogues and gold jewellery.
Vanessa went makeup-free for the occasion and allowed her cropped mane to fall in natural ringlets.

According to various reports, Zac was introduced to Vanessa by her boss at Byron Bay’s General Store café in June last year, and the pair hit it off straight away.
Two months later, in August, Daily Mail Australia revealed Zac had cancelled his scheduled return flight to Los Angeles because he ‘didn’t really want to go back’.
Within weeks, the genetically blessed couple had moved in together in Byron Bay.

Zac confirmed their relationship in September when they were spotted holding hands in public.
Vanessa would accompany her famous boyfriend as he travelled around Australia for various work projects from late 2020 to early 2021.
But it was confirmed in April they had called it quits, with Kyle Sandilands announcing on his KIIS FM radio show: ‘I can confirm [the break-up], after speaking with him yesterday.’

Kyle also confirmed Zac had been dating Vanessa for much longer than reported.
Speculation recently surfaced that the former couple knew each other three years before their ‘official’ first meeting at Byron Bay’s General Store café last June.
Kyle, 49 – who is good friends with Zac – revealed on live radio that it wasn’t just a rumour.
The radio host confirmed on The Kyle and Jackie O show: ‘They’ve been together for a lot longer than people realise.’
‘I don’t know where they met, but it wasn’t recent. It’s been going for a little while, but I don’t know exactly how long’ he added.
