Austin Butler Was Accused Of Cheating On Vanessa Hudgens Causing An End To Their Relationship, But Are The Rumors True?

Austin Butler has become one of the most well-known celebrities after his recent role in Elvis. But he has been around a lot longer than many people realize, and he’s had many relationships with famous women, this includes Vanessa Hudgens. The former couple were together for eight years before finally calling it quits, and the reason for the end of their relationship has been the topic of much speculation.

Did Butler cheat on Hudgens? Some fans are convinced this is the reason that ended their almost decade-long romance. But is there any evidence to prove this theory? Or was there a far less dramatic reason that they broke up?

When Did Austin Butler And Vanessa Hudgens Start Dating?

There was a time when Austin Butler and Vanessa Hudgens were among the sweetest Hollywood couples. They first got together in 2011, and throughout their relationship, they did a lot together, including multiple red carpet events, Coachella festivals, and attending fun parties (including one in Las Vegas in 2013, when a source told People they “couldn’t keep their hands off each other”)

But it was not all fun, and Butler and Hudgens were there for each other during the challenging moments too. This includes when Butler’s mom passed away in 2014 and when Hudgens’ father passed away in 2016. They were each other’s support.

In 2016, they also made headlines for a less pleasant reason after they were accused of alleged vandalism. This was because they appeared to carve their names into Red Rock in Sedona, Arizona.

Considering they are both actors, it’s unsurprising to learn that they had to spend much of their relationship apart. This means that they were often long-distance, which can present its own challenges.

Speaking of how they made this work, Hudgens told People, “Just communication, communication is key. I think that if anything’s bothering you, don’t hold it in. Always bring it up and just talk about it. Uncensor yourself and just be open.”

But in January 2020, the couple made headlines again, this time for their breakup. “Vanessa and Austin are officially broken up, and Vanessa has been telling those close to her about their breakup,” an insider told Us Weekly.

Not long after, the alleged reason for their split was revealed. “They really loved each other and have been through some of their toughest life moments together,” a source told People. “Busy work schedules and travel definitely put a strain on the relationship. They were a wonderful couple, and it’s really sad that it didn’t work out.”

What Austin Butler Said About Vanessa Hudgens After They Broke Up

Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler have both moved on since their breakup in early 2020. Butler has been linked to Olivia DeJonge, Lily-Rose Depp, and most recently, Kaia Gerber since the end of 2021. Hudgens has also found love again and was briefly linked to Kyle Kuzma before dating Cole Tucker since November 2020.

At the time of their breakup, a source told People how Vanessa Hudgens had been dealing with their split. “The breakup isn’t easy, but she’s not one to sit around and mope,” a source said. “She’s living it up and having fun. She seems really happy and excited about life, honestly.”

Austin Butler is private about his relationships and rarely discusses them in interviews. But he has spoken about Hudgens in an interview with E! News in 2019. “It’s hard for me to even put into words what that girl means to me. I am so inspired by her everyday and I just love her to my core,” he said at the time. But what has he said about the breakup?

He appeared to address his split from Hudgens (without mentioning her name). “Life is full of changes, and you’ve got to find a way to constantly be evolving and growing,” he told GQ.

Did Austin Butler Cheat On Vanessa Hudgens?

If the reason for the breakup was revealed at the time to be conflicting schedules, why is everyone so focused on it being a cheating scandal? Some fans are convinced that Austin Butler was unfaithful, and there have been many online discussions regarding the topic.

However, despite the speculation, there is no evidence to suggest (at least not with absolute certainty) that Butler was unfaithful and that this was the reason for their breakup.

Despite this, some fans will choose to believe what they want to believe, but there seems little point in focusing on why this couple split when neither of them appears to be mourning the breakup. Least of all, Vanessa Hudgens, who recently got engaged to Cole Tucker. And in an interview with Today, she revealed how good her life was.

“It feels amazing. It’s so funny, I was talking about this with Cole. People are always like, ‘Does it feel different? [Do] things feel different [getting engaged]?’ That was always my question normally, but now I get to be asked it,” she said. “And you know what, it actually does. There’s a sense of security. You feel so safe. It’s the best thing ever. I love being a fiancée.”

And for Hudgens, it was love at first sight. “After our first weekend together, I called my sister and was like, ‘I think I just found my future husband,'” she said during the interview.

This is not the first time she has gushed about her relationship with Tucker. Vanessa Hudgens has also called the relationship “healthy” and spoke candidly about her happiness in an interview with Shape.

“Where I am now is better than I could have dreamed of. My relationship with myself is something I value deeply, even if things don’t always go the way I expected. For instance, my mom got married at 25, so I always thought I was going to be married at 25. That didn’t happen. But I’m in such an amazing, healthy relationship, so it doesn’t matter,” she said.
