VANESSA HUDGENS AND ZAC EFRON IN TRIAL MARRIAGE?

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are rumored to be in a “trial marriage” in a beach apartment near Malibu. The pair seems to be downplaying the rumors, with Vanessa saying “I do love my place but it’s too big for me to be there by myself” and Zac reported to have “loved the place so much” he ended up moving in too. Oh yes that sounds completely logical, you’re really fooling everyone you two….cough…cough…

Vanessa rented the beach home a few months ago after accidentally leaving water running in her Studio City apartment. The water damage was extensive – about $250K worth. Although it’s no secret that the High School Musical couple has been dating for some time, the rumors of a “trial marriage” are quite new. Some people even think Zac and Vanessa are actually engaged or even secretly married since Vanessa has said before that her strict mom, Gina, didn’t approve of living together before marriage.

The couple has been spotted all around Malibu for a long time holding hands and kissing cutely in public, but recently Zac was spotted carrying suitcases into Vanessa’s rented beach apartment. They are the cutest couple, but quite young as they’re in their early 20s. In mid-February Hudgens and Efron went to Sydney Australia together for a charity event. Not surprisingly, the couple was spotted being all cute and hand-holding wherever they went.

What I like about them even though they are so young and have been dating seriously for two years is that they still do things on their own. Zac has been photographed attending sports games with friends without Vanessa along. Later this summer, in August, Vanessa will be playing Mimi, the HIV infected dancer role in the musical, Rent. Neil Patrick Harris is directing the production at the Hollywood Bowl.
