The biggest entertainment news story of the day yesterday was the announcement that Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler were breaking free of each other after almost nine years together.

The announcement came via an insider who told Us Weekly “they are officially broken up, and Vanessa has been telling those close to her about their breakup.”
Now, another insider has shed some light on why the young Hollywood golden couple had called it a day on their almost decade-long relationship.
“They’re just shooting on two different continents and it’s a matter of distance,” a source told E! News of the couple’s split. “There is no bad blood at all, and they have a lot of respect for each other.”
Though Hudgens and Butler “are split for now” they’re “going to see what happens,” a second source told the publication.
“They have such a history and deep connection they could find their way back to one another,” the insider adds. “Right now she felt like he needed to go and be single and see if that’s what he really wants.”
Meaning there’s still hope for these two which is good news if you ship them, but bad news if you were hoping to slide into either (or both) of their DMs.
