Zac Efron not only found a new home Down Under in Australia recently, but he also found a rumored new relationship. Since spending more time in Australia amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Baywatch actor had been linked to aspiring model and waitress Vanessa Valladares.

According to People, the two met while Valladares was working at an Australian cafe that Efron visited and became instantly smitten. Since then, the pair have been spotted out and about in Byron Bay and have been photographed grabbing lunch together and reportedly spending time at Efron's house.

According to The Sun however, mere months after first being spotted together, the pair's whirlwind romance is no more.

Here's everything you need to know about Valladares and her and Efron's romance.

She's an aspiring model.

Aside from waiting tables, 25-year-old Valladares is also reportedly an aspiring model who has worked for multiple Australian brands including Love Street, Of the Sun, and Efron's personal favorite, RVCA. She often shares work she's done with other photographers on her personal Instagram.

She and Zac have been linked since early this summer.

Per People, the two met just this year but have already been spending a fair amount of time together. The two have reportedly gone on a ski trip together in between grabbing lunch and hanging out in and around Byron Bay.

"Zac met Ness earlier in the summer. They started hanging out in July and recently took a ski trip together," a source told the outlet. "You can tell that they are having fun. She spends a lot of time at this house."

She's a fellow beach lover.

Valladares has posted plenty of beachside snapshots on her Instagram, showcasing her impressive bikini body and surfing expeditions; not unlike Efron, who has also shown his affinity for water sports and the ocean on his social media and Netflix show, Down to Earth with Zac Efron.

She may have influenced Zac's decision to permanently move to Australia.

According to People, Efron is currently house hunting in Byron Bay and plans to leave the hustle of living in Los Angeles behind.

"He has been house-hunting," a source told the outlet. "It really seems he plans on staying in Australia permanently."

Currently, Efron is residing in a rental house in Belongil Beach with Valladares, the Daily Mail reported.

She and Zac rang in his 33rd birthday together in Australia.

Efron and Valladares reportedly rang in the Baywatch star's 33rd birthday together in Australia before the weekend.

According to People, the couple celebrated with close friends at a party in Byron Bay. The outlet also confirmed that the pair are indeed living together after weeks of speculation.

"Zac and Vanessa are very happy. They celebrated Zac's birthday with friends before the weekend," the source told the magazine. "Their relationship is very serious. Vanessa lives with Zac in Byron Bay."

Zac and Vanessa reportedly split due to the actor's work commitments.

According to The Sun, Efron and Valladares's love wasn't long lasting. The pair reportedly broke up after Efron needed to leave his current residence of Byron Bay for Adelaide in order to shoot his latest film, Gold. Before Efron knew he needed to relocate, the two were allegedly looking into buying their first home together.

"Zac and Vanessa looked like the real deal. They were besotted with each other," a source told the outlet. "They'd started to look at a few places but, sadly, fate wasn't on their side. Zac's work and the ­­enforced distance has really taken its toll."

The source continued, commenting that though the pair were seriously smitten, their relationship appeared to be just a seasonal fling.

"Friends hope they can reunite, but it seems their relationship was more like a holiday romance than they cared to admit," said the source.
