Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez have put an end to speculation about their relationship by being caught locking lips on a romantic getaway in Sardinia. The 26-year-old heartthrob and the openly-bisexual actress were seen cozying up on a yacht, sharing a loving kiss. Zac leaned in to plant a kiss on Michelle, who eagerly puckered up for the intimate moment.
Secret kiss: Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez have officially announced their relationship after being caught sharing a kiss during their vacation in Italy.
She’s all set for you: Zac leaned in for a kiss with Michelle, 35, as she puckered up her lips in anticipation of the playful smooch.
Michelle opened up about her sexuality back in October, revealing to Entertainment Weekly, ‘I’ve explored both sides.’ Addressing assumptions about her relationships with women, she explained: ‘I follow my own desires. I’m too damn curious to ignore opportunities. Men are fascinating. Women are too.’
But now, her affectionate moment with Zac suggests that she may no longer be romantically involved with model Cara Delevingne.
Feeling the love: At one point, the Fast and the Furious star was spotted lounging on Zac as he lovingly ran his fingers through her dark, flowing hair.
Zac and Michelle were seen getting cozy on the boat, showing plenty of public displays of affection.
Playful: However, Zac quickly shifted his hands to a different spot and playfully couldn’t help but sneak a grab at Michelle’s hip.
Signed with a smooch: Michelle beamed with joy when Zac pressed his lips gently against her forehead.
Super close: The actress and the handsome individual were seen holding hands on the yacht together at one point. Cara, who is 21 years old, was initially seen sharing a passionate kiss with Michelle at a basketball game back in February, and ever since then, they have remained quite inseparable. The most recent sighting of them together was at the end of May, after a fun night out at London’s Chiltern Firehouse. During this period, there were speculations about Michelle dating the bisexual star Evan Rachel Wood, shortly after her separation from Jamie Bell, though Evan denied these rumors later on.
He’s one lucky guy! Zac wrapped his arms around Michelle affectionately at one point.
Off she ventures: Unfazed by the public display of affection with Zac, Michelle embarks on a spontaneous little escapade.
How on earth did you manage to reach that height? The star displayed her daring streak by scaling the mast of the yacht.
“What are you up to?” Zac appeared worried as he gestured with his arms in the air.
Before Zac and Cara, rumors swirled about Michelle dating Vin Diesel after they met on the set of Fast And The Furious.
She was also linked to Olivier Martinez, Halle Berry’s husband at the time, while they worked together on the action film S.W.A.T.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan, she once mentioned, “I’m into rugged men. I can’t deal with guys who spend more time on their nails than I do. That’s probably why, after eight years in LA, I’m still single!”
Michelle and Cara, who used to be in a romantic relationship, were last spotted together in Miami, Florida at the end of March.
In March, there were reports of a steamy kiss between the couple during their vacation in Mexico. It looks like the actress has developed strong feelings for Zac, who confidently displayed his masculine physique during their time away.
Keeping good company: Michelle and Zac had a romantic moment on the yacht, but they were surrounded by their friends, adding to the enjoyment of their time together.
Strong physique: The actor flaunted his incredibly sculpted body while on the yacht.
The two individuals seemed engrossed in a profound discussion, chatting away with each other.
Zodriguez: Michelle appeared very at ease while engaging in a conversation with Zac and a friend with blonde hair.
Broader: When Zac wasn’t busy touching Michelle, he was busy flexing his muscles by clenching his fists.
Getting into the spirit: It seems like the duo had a good time goofing around on the boat.
Helping out, the celebrity lent Michelle a hand by giving her a large white towel to dry off.
Zac’s transition from a popular teen heartthrob in High School Musical to a successful Hollywood leading man has not been without its challenges – he reportedly checked into rehab for substance abuse issues last year.
Michelle, too, has faced her fair share of public scrutiny for her wild behavior and partying ways, which landed her in hot water with the law, resulting in a brief jail time for hit-and-run and DUI charges.
The duo has been unwinding on a peaceful Italian vacation with their muscular businessman friend Gianluca Vacchi.
PDA: Afterward, Zac casually threw on a black T-shirt before playfully reaching out to brush Michelle’s chin.
Chilled out in the sunshine: Zac and Michelle are unwinding on a laid-back Italian vacation, joined by their friend Gianluca Vacchi, who is a successful businessman.
Want to dance? Gianluca decided to ditch his yellow clothes and flaunt his physique in a set of white swim trunks.
Michelle proudly flaunted her toned legs while enjoying the sun on the boat in her bikini.
Enjoying themselves: Zac appeared to be thoroughly enjoying himself as he executed some backward flips off the boat alongside his buddy.
Amazing: Their ability to perform backflips caught the attention of one of their friends.
Check this out: Michelle joined in on the fun as she geared up to take a leap off the yacht.
Taking snaps: The duo enjoyed flipping through the photos they had captured during their day filled with public displays of affection.
Relaxing by the water’s edge, Zac watched as Michelle took a refreshing plunge into the ocean.
What a great guy: Zac offered his hand to Michelle as he assisted her in coming out of the water.
Thank you so much: She burst into fits of laughter as she was helped onto the yacht.
Michelle playfully grabbed Zac’s strong chest as she casually strolled by him on the boat.
