Vanessa and Zac’s love story evolved while filming the High School Musical. The sensational couple who was popular among the fans as “Zanessa” was together for about five years before ending their relationship in 2010.
Vanessa broke up with Zac out of frustration, but he was not the problem. She was actually fed up with all the attention he was gaining from his countless female fans.
Vanessa admitted, “I went through a phase when I was really mean because I was so fed up. Girls were running after him [Zac], and I was giving them death stares.”
After the breakup, Vanessa romanced Josh Hutcherson, her co-star from Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. They dated for a few months in 2011 during the production of the movie.
