How hot are Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens on the set of High School Musical? For two films the adorable couple have been "together" and they weathered the rumors and speculation. And at the center of it all, Zac and Vanessa have kept their romance scrupulously low-profile.

Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens Romance On the Set of High School Musical

On the set of the HSM2 set, "if you didn't know they were dating, you wouldn't know they were dating," a production source told People Magazine. "They're really good at not being obvious." They became more open as news of their relationship gradually leaked out: More sources note his "megawatt smile" and thank-you kiss for Hudgens when she brought him a plate of food at a recent photo shoot. And why hide? "Two people fell in love," says costar Monique Coleman. "Who cares? We're good kids."


No kidding. A report from People notes that they are like teen idols from a gentler era. When they are snapped out Efron and Hudgens are buying Pinkberry frozen yogurt, not stumbling out of nightclubs. They hit the gym together and join fellow cast members for movie nights.

Bart Johnson, who plays Efron's HSM father, recalls seeing the two at play in Toluca Lake, Calif., where Efron has his own apartment near his family's home (Hudgens lives with her parents in LA): "Vanessa had a scooter and she'd pull Zac around on his skateboard with a rope. He'd surf behind her all the way around Toluca Lake."


So why keep the romance so quiet? "First of all, they are so young, still teenagers," the HSM source tells the weekly entertainment magazine. "But it's also the classic teen-idol thing. It kills the fantasy when a teenage girl knows her idol has a girlfriend. But ironically the fans seem to be accepting their relationship, I think because it goes along with the storyline in the movie."
