It’s a sad day for thousands of adoring Zac Efron fans as tabloid spies close to the High School Musical heart-throb claim the 20-year-old metrosexual is planning to move in with girlfriend/co-star Vanessa Hudgens.

“They’re rich and in love-so they’re ready to take the next step,” a source reveals in this week’s edition of the National Enquirer. “She’s been pushing for a live-together situation for the past year,” the spy adds. “Zac finally gave in to the idea. He’s calling it their shack-up experiment.”

According to the Enquirer scoop, Z.E and Baby V will wait until after Vanessa, 19, wraps up her Summer concert tour before making the move.

The young lovers already have their hearts set on a $2.3 million hideaway high in the Hollywood Hills.

“She has her heart set on one place in particular-a cozy four-bedroom, three-bath Spanish-style house…She’s been dreaming of owning a home for the last year, and now she’s finally ready to plunk down the $2.3 million for the house.”
