Zac Efron’s ex-girlfriend Vanessa Valladares is enjoying the single life after splitting from the Hollywood heartthrob.

The 26-year-old didn’t seem to have a care in the world as she frolicked on the sandy shores of the picturesque beach.

She looked fit and healthy in the one-piece swimwear, which featured cut-outs on the sides.
Her wet hair was completely slicked back and she accessorised with a simple necklace.
It comes after the model’s split with Baywatch hunk Zac.
According to various reports, Zac, 33, was introduced to Vanessa by her boss at Byron Bay’s General Store café in June last year, and the pair hit it off straight away.

Two months later, in August, Daily Mail Australia revealed Zac had cancelled his scheduled return flight to Los Angeles because he ‘didn’t really want to go back’.
Within weeks, the genetically blessed couple had moved in together in Byron Bay.
Zac confirmed their relationship in September when they were spotted holding hands in public.

Vanessa would accompany her famous boyfriend as he travelled around Australia for various work projects from late 2020 to early 2021.
But it was confirmed in April they had called it quits, with Kyle Sandilands announcing on his KIIS FM radio show: ‘I can confirm [the break-up], after speaking with him yesterday.’
Kyle also confirmed Zac had been dating Vanessa for much longer than reported.

Speculation recently surfaced that the former couple knew each other three years before their ‘official’ first meeting at Byron Bay’s General Store café last June.
Kyle, 49 – who is good friends with Zac – revealed on live radio that it wasn’t just a rumour.
The radio host confirmed on The Kyle and Jackie O show: ‘They’ve been together for a lot longer than people realise.’
‘I don’t know where they met, but it wasn’t recent. It’s been going for a little while, but I don’t know exactly how long’ he added.
