She has been loyally by his side while he travelled around Australia for various work projects over the past several months, including filming in Adelaide on the Stan film Gold and around the country shooting the Netflix series Down to Earth.

The pair flew into Sydney Airport together in late March, returning from Melbourne, where Zac had been filming for Down To Earth.

On Monday, Woman’s Day reported that Zac was ‘pulling strings’ to land Vanessa a role on the Netflix ‘docu-soap series’ Byron Baes. 

According to the publication, the American actor was ‘determined to make Vanessa Valladares a star’ on the upcoming show.   

Late last year, it was reported that Zac, who has been living in Australia for over a year and has been based in Byron Bay, couldn’t be happier with Vanessa.

A source said at the time: ‘They are very happy. They celebrated Zac’s birthday with friends before the weekend. Their relationship is very serious. Vanessa lives with him in Byron Bay.’   

The pair fuelled engagement rumours in mid-October.

The actor reportedly gifted his girlfriend a ring made especially for her during his star-studded 33rd birthday bash, which Vanessa organised.

A source told Woman’s Day at the time: ‘He gave it to her after the party – it was incredibly romantic.

‘Neither of them are saying much about it, but there’s no doubt it was some kind of unofficial engagement.’ 

Zac 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. 

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Zac’s representatives for comment.
