Looks like Zac Efron has one less gift to buy this Christmas, as it’s being reported that he and girlfriend Vanessa Valladares have broken up after just five months of dating.

They met earlier this year when she was waitressing at a café in Australia’s Byron Bay. Click here to check out her Instagram if you want to stalk.

But despite things going really well for the couple and them even looking at buying a home together – there were even rumors that he proposed to her at his 33rd birthday party back in October – things such as distance and Zac’s work commitments sadly got in the way.

“Zac and Vanessa looked like the real deal. They were besotted with each other,” a source told The Sun.

“Once he decided to stay in Australia long term, he suggested they buy their first home.

“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 distance the source was referring to is the distance between Byron Bay and Adelaide, where Zac Efron is currently filming his latest movie.

This might not be the end for them though, as some of their friends are hopeful that they may be able to pick up where they left off in the future.

The source, however, wasn’t so optimistic…

“Friends hope they can reunite, but it seems their relationship was more like a holiday romance than they cared to admit.”

We’re not ruling a reunion out. But if they don’t get back together, we can confidently say that there is a not-so-orderly queue of ladies waiting not-so-patiently to be Zac Efron’s next girlfriend…
