Zac Efron spotted holding hands with model Vanessa Valladares amid dating rumours

‘High School Musical’ fame Zac Efron, who was last seen in ‘Down to Earth with Zac Efron’, might be officially off the market as the actor is reportedly dating model Vanessa Valladares. The actor was spotted holding hands with Vanessa while they were out for lunch in Byron Bay, Australia. The new couple were clicked by the paparazzi while they held hands on their way out of a restaurant. Earlier, Zac was also seen going on a brunch date with Vanessa following a quick trip to the mountains together for some skiing. Reportedly, Zac is looking to buy a home in Byron Bay after falling in love with the area. Not much is known about Vanessa, but she was first spotted with Zac in early July. The romance sparked between them during a time of transition for Efron. In August, it was reported that the actor intended to make Byron Bay, New South Wales his permanent residence. According to the outlet, this move won't impact Zac Efron's career and is mainly a reflection of the relatively safe and paparazzi-free nature of the area. (All photos: Instagram)

The couple took their relationship to the next level when they ventured south to Australia's Thredbo village for a romantic ski trip.
