Vanessa Hudgens: Long Distance Relationships Are Hard

Vanessa Hudgens checks her phone messages after filling up her car in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon (March 17).

The 22-year-old actress was spotted out on a joy ride with costar Josh Hutcherson earlier this week.

Vanessa told Shape mag of her parting with former beau Zac Efron: “Long-distance relationships are hard no matter what. When you don’t have face-to-face time, it’s just different. Having an iPhone helped, but it just wasn’t the same.”

FYI: Vanessa is wearing Current/Elliott jeans, Elizabeth and James “Park” sunglasses and Wildfox‘s ‘#9 Love’ baggy boy tank.
