Vanessa Hudgens explains Zac Efron split?

Vanessa Hudgens split from Zac Efron because they were always apart.

The 22-year-old actress who began dating the heartthrob when they met on the set of Disney movie High School Musical in 2005 insists the couple had trouble keeping the spark in their relationship alive because they spent so little time together.

“Long-distance relationships are hard no matter what. When you have face-to-face time, it’s just different. Having an iPhone helped but it just wasn’t the same,” she said

However, she still has fond feelings for Zac, 23, because they have had so many shared “experiences” together.

“We grew up together. It was nice to have someone to share all those experiences with,” she said.

Last month, Vanessa revealed the pair were still “figuring” out their relationship after he visited her on the set of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.

“We’re still friends. Who knows what the future will bring? We’re figuring things out,” she said.

The pair were seen at a restaurant in North Carolina during the visit and were spotted holding hands and kissing.
