Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron News: Reveals Struggles While Dating Zac Efron
Before there was Robsten or Jelena, there was Zanessa, the teenage dream pairing of Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. The two met on the set of the Disney TV movie "High School Musical" back in 2005, which gave way to two sequels. The two embarked in a real-life romance for four years, which ended in December 2010.
Now, Hudgens is opening up about her struggles while dating the "Charlie St. Cloud" actor. In an interview with New York Times, the actress said that there were times when she was "mean" during their relationship, not because of Efron, but because of his female fans who tended to get overzealous at times.
"I went through a phase when I was really mean because I was so fed up," said Hudgens. "Girls were running after him, and I was giving them death stares. Then I realized that's not what that's about. 'Spread the love, be a good person, they support you, be nice.'"

Since then, the actress has moved on with fellow actor Austin Butler. Not only has she found love with him, but he has also been instrumental in her having a renewed passion for Christianity.
Hudgens said that while she was born a Catholic, she "never felt connected to it." The couple attend services at Hillsong, and the actress said, "It feels like Arcade Fire—it's epic like that. They really focus on you having your own personal relationship with Jesus, which is wonderful."
Hudgens is currently starring in the Broadway version of "Gigi" and she will be appearing as Rizzo in the Fox live TV airing of "Grease" in 2016.
