By Cara Emmeline Garcia

After nearly nine years of being together, Hollywood actress Vanessa Hudgens has reportedly split from longtime boyfriend Austin Butler.

A source confirmed yesterday, January 14.

Fans began to question the status of their relationship when neither the Fil-Am actress nor Austin posted any photos together during the holiday season.

The last time she posted a photo of them together was back on October 31.

“Happy Halloween from my family to yours,” she captioned while a picture of the two is seen donning Gothic costumes together with their dog, Darla.

The two first sparked romance rumors back in September 2011, about a year after Hudgens's split with fellow High School Musical actor Zac Efron.

Throughout their relationship, Hudgens has regularly posted photos of her and Butler on social media.

Amid split speculation, Hudgens opened up about her romance with her beau in an interview released early January

She said in Cosmopolitan UK, “It's eight years this year -- FaceTime, good communication, respect and trust [are what keeps us going]. The longest we've been apart was four months. It sucks!

“You start hating hearing yourself say 'I miss you.' But if it's your person you make it work.”

Us Weekly was the first to report the news.
