Vanessa Hudgens & Austin Butler Split After Almost 9 Years

And another relationship bites the dust… This time it’s Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler.

Multiple reports claim that the 31-year-old actress and the 28-year-old actor, who first sparked romance rumours in September 2011, have allegedly parted ways in late 2019.

The former flames have not been seen together since last November. Austin was also absent from Vanessa’s birthday on 13th December. US Weekly claimed that the starlet “has been telling those close to her about the breakup“, though she hasn’t spoken about it publicly.

In speaking with Cosmo UK, the former “High School Musical” star previously talked about her long distance relationship with the Hollywood hunk. “It’s 8 years this year – FaceTime, good communication, respect and trust (are what keep us going),” she told the publication, before adding, “The longest we’ve been apart was four months. It sucks! You start hating hearing yourself say ‘I miss you.’ But if it’s your person, you make it work.”

Are you surprised by the breakup?
