The Truth About Lily Collins And Zac Efron's Relationship

As Seventeen notes, Collins and Efron briefly dated between 2012 and 2013. Most of the speculation came from a sweet shot, posted on Twitter by a fan, of the two actors strolling hand in hand through Disneyland, but E! News seemed to confirm the rumors when the two were spotted attending a movie together a few weeks earlier. 

Although they were first linked in 2012 after being caught holding hands while having dinner in L.A. and even spending Valentine's Day together, the relationship fizzled out. An insider revealed to E! News that the stars weren't actually dating, sharing, "They weren't really together, so you can't say they broke up because they were never officially a couple." Adding, "They hung out every now and then, but it was totally casual." 

This didn't stop rumors from swirling around the release of Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, with the Evening Standard advising the duo seemed particularly cozy at the European premiere. Just days later, gossip site Star (via Gossip Cop) quoted an unnamed source who claimed Collins and Efron did get close on set again and "have been hanging out loads since filming wrapped." Adding, "They've always had a spark, and they were so good together." However, Gossip Cop caught up with one of Efron's buddies who claimed such stories were simply "not true." Collins later confirmed to E! News that the two are just very good friends. She's now happily engaged, so it really was a short-lived romance, but at least we'll always have Ted and Elizabeth.
