What break-up? They were the subject of split rumours late last month, but it seems Zac Efron (left) and Vanessa Valladares (right) are still very much together. 

Vanessa, who is also a part-time model, showed off her sensational figure in a yellow crop top and maroon leggings, which she paired with pink sneakers.

She styled her short brunette hair loosely, wore a gold necklace, and drew attention to her natural beauty going without makeup.

Meanwhile, Zac, who has been working hard in the gym preparing for his latest role, displayed his muscular frame in a sleeveless top and shorts.

He was seen carrying a portable speaker on set and chatting to several friends.

The sighting comes after a source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column last month that Zac and Vanessa had ended things after five months of dating.

Friends of the pair said ‘fate wasn’t on their side’, but it seems these fears were unfounded. 

‘Zac has been renting a place by the beach in Byron Bay and by ­September Vanessa was living with him there,’ the insider explained.

‘So once he decided to stay in Australia long term, he suggested they buy their first home. They’d started to look at a few places but, sadly, fate wasn’t on their side.’

Despite these claims, Vanessa’s presence on set on Friday confirms the couple are indeed still together. 

It’s unclear if they ever actually split of if the Sun’s report was simply incorrect.

Zac recently moved to Adelaide from Byron Bay – where he’d been staying for much of the year – in order to film the new Stan Original movie, Gold.

The Greatest Showman actor met Vanessa while she was working at the Byron Bay General Store & Café around June or July.

When it came to deciding between flying interstate for work or staying in Byron with the brunette, Zac apparently didn’t hesitate to jump on the plane.

A source told Woman’s Day magazine last month: ‘Filming a local production is probably needed to support his visa, so there’s no backing out for Zac. He’ll be here in Adelaide for a while.’

He was recently seen enjoying a night out at the Crybaby bar in Adelaide’s CBD, where a female fan invited him to her upcoming 21st birthday party.

‘We were sitting just near him and he walked past us to the booth next to us and as he walked past I looked up at him nervously and said hi,’ the woman said.

‘He stepped aside and said hi and asked how we were going and what our names were. He was so lovely and chilled. He just smiled at everyone.’

She added: ‘His eyes go really shiny when he smiles in movies and it’s exactly the same in person.’

Zac and Vanessa had started their whirlwind romance about five months ago, and the former waitress appeared to seamlessly fit into the movie star’s circle of high-profile friends.

The actor was previously in a relationship with his High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens for five years before they split in 2010.  

In 2012 he briefly dated Lily Collins, seven years before they starred together in Netflix’s Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.

Zac was said to be in a relationship with American actress Halston Sage at the beginning of the year, but the pair never confirmed their split.

Meanwhile, Bryon Bay ‘It girl’ Vanessa is also understood to have spent time with Australian actor Liam Hemsworth following his split from singer Miley Cyrus.

Multiple sources told Daily Mail Australia they’d heard the pair briefly dated following his split from the Can’t Be Tamed star in August last year.
