Vanessa Hudgens Makes Rare Comments About Her Two Famous Exes

In a September 12, 2022, interview with Nylon, Vanessa Hudgens revealed that as much as fans think they know her, they don’t. The “Tick, Tick … Boom!” star hinted that there’s more to her breakups with Zac Efron and Austin Butler than people realize. “The public only sees so much. I’ve also been through two very long life-changing relationships, and no one really knows what happened except for me,” she said. “When I write my memoir, it’ll be amazing.”

This isn’t too surprising, given fans were mostly left in the dark about Hudgens’ high-profile split with Butler. Vague remarks from Butler aside, a source told E! News that the breakup was “a matter of distance” and that their work schedules had been keeping them apart. At the time, Hudgens was filming “The Princess Switch: Switched Again,” while Butler was preparing to become “Elvis.” Butler has remained similarly quiet about his budding relationship with model Kaia Gerber. When asked about it by GQ Hype, he replied, “I don’t think there’s anything I want to share about that. But thank you for providing the space.”

As for what went wrong with Hudgens and Efron, Hudgens shared that they’d simply spent too much time apart (via Marie Claire U.K.). “Long-distance relationships are hard no matter what,” she said. “When you don’t have face-to-face time, it’s just different.” That doesn’t sound too scandalous, but we’ll have to wait for that tell-all memoir for more.
