Rumours emerged late last week that Zac had traded Byron Bay for Sydney after he was spotted around Bondi Beach on Friday.

He was later seen dining at an upscale seafood restaurant in nearby Rose Bay on Sunday, sparking rumours he has taken up residency in the area.

According to The Sydney Morning Herald on Sunday, paparazzi who have been ‘following his every move’ now believe the actor is living in Dover Heights.
