Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens Split

The High School Musical sweethearts have called time on their romance...

Zac Efron has split with girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens.

The pair, who started dating back in 2006 after starring in Disney flick, High School Musical together, are said to have parted ways after "growing apart,"

Speaking of the end of their four-year romance, a source told People: "They are 100% still good friends."

Pals of the couple have claimed that their split was amicable, suggesting that they are hoping Zac and Vanessa will get back together soon.

One friend told Hollywoodlife.com: "They realise that they both can trust each other, and there will be a bond between them forever."

"Career demands, distance and wanting to enjoy being single are the main reasons for the break-up. I’d be shocked if they don’t get back together someday.”

They continued: “They have hung out with each other as recently as two weeks ago and will continue to hang out, since they are best friends.”

Another source close to the couple added: "They are still talking and still friends. There's no drama. No one cheated. They just grew up."

Despite reports that there was no cheating, 23-year old Efron had previously been accused of flirting with Hannah Montana actress, Miley Cyrus, although these allegations remain unconfirmed.
