Who Is Sarah Bro? New Details About Zac Efron's Girlfriend
He's officially taken.
Instagram Zac Efron is officially off the market.
The 32-year-old actor and Disney alum is reportedly dating 23-year-old Danish Olympic swimmer Sarah Bro. According to Us Weekly, Zac and Sarah have been seen together multiple times. Rumors of a romance first sparked when they were spotted getting sweaty at a fitness class in Los Angeles back in January.
Things just got more suspect when they attended the UFC 235 fight at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on March 2. A source who was there told E! News that Zac and Sarah “looked like they were having a great time," but were "not overly publicly affectionate."
Still, they arrived at the event and left it together, and the source said that they were "smiling and laughing in their seats" before the fights began.
"Zac was approached by multiple fans and Sarah was very patient as Zac spoke to everyone who approached him," the source added.
And just before that, it seemed like they both went to the Los Angeles Kings vs Dallas Stars game at Staples Center in L.A. It's not clear if they went together or separately, but they both shared some snaps from the evening on their Instagram accounts.
So who is Sarah Bro? Here's everything we know about Zac Efron's new girlfriend.
1. He doesn't follow her on Instagram.
Sarah follows Zac on Instagram — as most women in their 20s probably do — but the actor doesn't follow her back. While they could be a red flag for non-celebrity couples, there's a chance Zac has little-to-nothing to do with his social media posts.
Plus, on March 5 (after they were spotted at their UFC date), Sarah posted a photo of beautiful flowers on her Instagram story complete with not one, but two heart emojis.
2. She's an Olympic athlete.
If you didn't get the picture before, Sarah is an incredible athlete and an Olympic swimmer. She competed in the women's 4x100 meter freestyle relay at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
The Danish swimmer got her start when she was 10, and revealed her ultimate dream in a 2017 interview.
"My biggest dream is to beat the Danish Senior record of 200 meters back. And to get to the final at the Olympics."
3. She's no stranger to hard work.
In that same interview, Sarah says that she trains a total of 30 hours a week and that even though a lot of her fellow swimmers have pre-competition rituals, she tries not to.
"In swimming we train a lot…very much. It runs into 10 swimming exercises, 3 strength training, 2 training exercises and various prehab training. A total of about 30 hours a week."
"Many swimmers have many rituals before competition. I'm trying to keep myself free from them — now if I forgot my favorite stockings one day? However, I always eat a good breakfast and drink a large cup of coffee before a convention."
4. She wants to be a doctor.
While it seems like she's enjoying her life as a professional athlete right now (especially the perks of meeting some of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors), she already has her next career mapped out.
"I am a social science student from STX — but my dream is to become a doctor," she said. "I raise my mathematics, chemistry and physics on self-study at VUC, and this summer I will apply for medical studies."
Still, she has some inspiring advice for young girls who dream of having a career in sports.
"Believe in yourself and never be limited by others."
5. This could be the first swimmer he's dated.
Zac has been on the market (as far as we know) for a little over a year now. And the women he's previously been linked too are all models and actress.
He most recently dated Alexandra Daddario (his Baywatch co-star) in 2018. Before that, he was with Michelle Rodriguez for a few months in 2014, and of course, he famously dated his High School Musical other half Vanessa Hudgens from 2007 to 2010.
Back in 2016, he told The U.K. Times his philosophy on dating.
“Dating is something I’ll never be able to do. As in the dictionary definition of dating, because one way or another, I’ve impacted that person’s life and they’ll soon realize it.”
“A date has to be very long to dispel whatever people think about me. Amazingly, when I signed up for Tinder, nobody swiped me! They thought it was fake. … That never happened.”
We're sure they met through some mutual Hollywood connection, but how amazing would it be if Sarah and Zac met on Tinder?!
