ZAC Efron and Vanessa Hudgens have ended their romance.

The pair — who met in 2005 while making the first High School Musical flick, and became a romantic item about two years later — decided to go their separate ways after the relationship “ran its course”.

“It was mutual,” a source told Us Weekly magazine. “They have been together for so long. It just ran its course.

“They are still talking and still friends. There’s no drama. No one cheated. They just grew up.”

Hudgens — who turns 22 on Tuesday — has previously gushed about her romance with Efron.

“Right off the bat, we had a connection,” she told Glamour magazine earlier this year. “I think everybody could see it. When we had our audition, they paired us together. And he was adorable.”

Efron admitted to Details‘ September issue that he had pondered the single life.

“Everyone tells me [to play the field],” he said. “I think a lot of guys would enjoy that. But I’m not really like that.”

Zac is currently filming The Lucky One in New Orleans while Vanessa is working on Journey 2: The Mysterious Island in Hawaii.
