Zac Efron and his Australian girlfriend. Vanessa Valladares reportedly split after just five months of dating .

The actor's split with the 25-year-old is believed to have happened as the 33-year-old had to leave for his work commitments.

The news came shortly after it was said that Zac and Vanessa were looking to buy a house together, in Australia, where the actor was said to be living after Valladares stole his heart.

Sources for The Sun write:

"They would be a really good couple, but unfortunately, fate was not in their hands. Zac's work and distance did their thing. "
