Pic! Zac Efron Holds Hands with Australian Model Vanessa Valladares
It looks like actor Zac Efron, 32, has found love during the COVID-19 pandemic!
Over the weekend, Efron was spotted holding hands with model Vanessa Valladares after a lunch date in Australia, where he has been quarantining.

They started hanging out in July and recently took a ski trip together. You can tell that they are having fun. She spends a lot of time at this house."
