High School Musical Sweethearts Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron Split!

The high school sweethearts of High School Musical are no longer. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens started dating while they filmed the first High School Musical back in 2008. They filmed two more movies together and managed to stay together through all of that hoopla and the paparazzi invading their personal space. They've been together almost three years - a record by some Hollywood standards! So why split now?

Zac and Vanessa are both young. Vanessa turns 22 this December and Zac is only 23. It's amazing that they lasted for so long, considering how young they were. Older, more mature Hollywood couples can't even last that long! Maybe Zac and Vanessa should spill some secrets of how they did make it that long.

Don't look for them to pine away though and be sad for too long. They will supposedly remain friends, as was announced through a mutual friend. They each have some busy schedules coming up for the holiday and winter months. Zac will be filming The Lucky One in New Orleans through the winter. Vanessa is in Hawaii filming a movie called Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. I guess if you will be alone, do it somewhere warm and when you can throw yourself in to a project.

How long will each of them remain single? Both are attractive, hard working and seem to be on the clean cut circuit, unlike some other Disney stars who shall remain nameless for this post. Who would you pair each of them up with? Taylor Swift? Miley Cyrus? Shia LaBeouf?  Let's do some matchmaking!
