In what could be described as the first celebrity heartbreak of the year, Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler have reportedly split up after dating for 9 years. Understandably, the entire population of the internet, mainly Twitter, was visibly distressed.

But while “Vanessa Hudgens” and “Austin Butler” were both trending nationwide, there’s another name that everyone couldn’t stop mentioning — Zac Efron.
Who could forget that Vanessa and Zac were High School Musical co-stars and had, at one point, dated? Dubbed fondly by everyone as ‘Zanessa,’ the couple were in a relationship from 2005 to 2010. When they broke up, Disney kids and HSM junkies mourned for years. As we understand it, everyone is still mourning until now but there’s a new realization: they are now both single at the same time.
At the end of the day, Zanessa will probably never happen, but at least we have these hilarious tweets:
Don’t pass up the chance!

Is this Zanessa’s chance to pick up the broken pieces of their relationship and pull a Mila-Kunis-Ashton-Kutcher on us?
Zanessa year?

Calling it a year for Zanessa might be going too far but hey, who knows? And do you remember where this GIF is from? It’s from Vanessa’s 2009 song “Say Okay.” NOPE, we’re definitely not okay.
Suddenly everyone is back to shipping them

Celebrity breakups are harder than normal breakups. There will be cameras shoved in your face, inappropriate questions asked, and a whole lot more stuff that will make you reopen wounds. We can have our fun shipping Zanessa, but we should also learn to draw a line for our imaginations. We hope Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler are doing okay!
What do you think of Vanessa and Austin’s breakup?
