The Truth About Those Zac Efron and Selling Sunset’s Amanza Smith Dating Rumors
Zac Efron’s love life generated some social media buzz this week when the actor posed alongside Selling Sunset’s Amanza Smith in a group photo taken of them with Tarek El Moussa,
his wife Heather Rae Young, UFC announcer Bruce Buffer, and Smith’s Selling Sunset co-star Mary Fitzgerald. Smith and Efron appeared coupley in the shot, but multiple sources told TMZ that they are not a couple in real life. Efron is currently single, but Smith is not. The sources told TMZ that Smith is “dating a pro soccer player from overseas... and is head over heels, as she’s indicated herself.”
Efron last dated Australian waitress and model Vanessa Valladares for 10 months. Their breakup was confirmed in April 2021 by Australian radio host Kyle Sandilands after tabloids began reporting that things had ended.
“Well, it’s not just The Daily Telegraph [reporting the breakup],” Sandilands started saying on his radio program The Kyle and Jackie O Show. “I can also confirm after speaking with him yesterday. Because I heard the rumors. Well, I heard a rumor around that you know that Netflix show they’re going to do in Byron… the Byron Bae girls, there was a rumor going around, which was bullshit, that Zac was trying to pull strings to get Vanessa on that show. And that’s what I rang him about. It’s stupid [the rumor he’d need to pull strings], but anyway, yeah, he was like, ‘Aw, bro, you know, like, yeah, no, we’re not’—it’s only recent, but not like yesterday recent. But they’ve gone their separate ways. [There was] no drama. It’s done. He’s back to work. They had spent a lot of time with each other when he wasn’t working, you know, lunching and living in the mansions on the beach; it’s a fabulous life. Then work comes back and kicks you straight back into reality. So it’s a shame but it’s not a rumor. It’s for sure true.”
