Zac Efron wasn’t the only love interest Vanessa Hudgens met while filming “High School Musical.” The actor also met Austin Butler on the set of the film back in 2005, but the “Elvis” star didn’t end up snagging a role in the franchise, instead debuting in its spinoff, “Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure.”
Butler and Hudgens were first spotted together in 2011, about a year after she split with Zac Efron. The pair made their official red carpet debut the following year at the premiere of “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.” While they kept quiet about their relationship for years, Hudgens made a sweet Instagram tribute to Butler in 2014, posting a photo of them together for the first time. “Yesterday was the love of my life’s birthday. Happy birthday to the man with the kindest heart, beautiful soul, crazy talent and best looks I’ve ever seen,” she wrote at the time.
The pair supported each other through some of their most difficult moments, including Butler’s mother’s death in 2015 as well as when Hudgens lost her father in 2016. While whisperings of an engagement had circulated beforehand, the couple eventually went their separate ways in 2020. A source told People at the time that their hectic schedules caused a strain in their relationship, but Hudgens has remained private about the reasons for their split. “I’ve also been through two very long life-changing relationships, and no one really knows what happened except for me,” she told Nylon, adding, “When I write my memoir, it’ll be amazing.”
