Several fans have speculated that Baywatch star Zac Efron is dating Selling Sunset star Amanza Smith, after a photo of them seemingly insinuated that they are a couple. On December 14, TV personality Tarek El Moussa posted a snap of the group attending a UFC event in Vegas.

The photo, which also featured Zac Efron and Amanza Smith, showcased them in close proximity, with the former seemingly leaning his head towards Smith.

However, as per TMZ’s sources the two are not dating and might not even know each other that well, with the Las Vegas event potentially being one of the first times the two interacted.


What was the story behind the group photo featuring Zac Efron and Amanza Smith?

The photo featured UFC announcer Bruce Buffer, whom both Zac and Tarek have known for years. This could be the plausible reason behind the 34-year-old actor joining the snap, which also included Tarek and his wife, Heather Rae Young, and Selling Sunset stars Mary Fitzgerald and Amanza Smith.

As per TMZ, Zac Efron was present at a dinner with Bruce Buffer and the rest of the TV stars, and this led to a group photo session.
