Vanessa Hudgens appears to be living her best single life following her split from Austin Butler!
As we reported, the High School Musical alum has recently been linked to Los Angeles Lakers star Kyle Kuzma after the pair were spotted on a seemingly romantic dinner date in New York City earlier this week. Then, dating rumors really got their legs when the 31-year-old actress was seen courtside at the 24-year-old athlete’s basketball game just a day later.
Now, multiple sources have come forward to spill the tea on what’s supposedly going on between the two!

Hudgens and Kuzma were apparently introduced to each other through mutual friends! A source told E! News:
“She’s always loved going to basketball games and knew people in his circle.”
As for where things stand between the flirty pair right now, the confidant added:
“They totally hit it off and are having a lot of fun, but it’s nothing serious. She’s enjoying his company and it’s a great distraction for her right now. They talk often and have plans to see each other again, but she doesn’t want to date him.”
Wait, so they’re having fun, keeping it casual, and planning dates together — but Vanessa doesn’t actually want this to become a thing. Oh.
We guess the fact that Hudgens just ended a nine-year relationship might have something to do with her keeping things light right now:
“She hasn’t been single in almost a decade so she is enjoying this new chapter.”
A second source told the outlet the starlet is “just having fun” being back on the market:
“She wants to get back out there. She’s getting to know Kyle and so far she likes what she sees. He’s treating her very well and is a big flirt. It’s exciting and new.”
And it sounds like we’ll continue to see her flexing at NBA games going forward, too:
“Vanessa has always been a Lakers fan and loves going to games. Their schedules have lined up in New York and the timing was right. She hopes it continues back in L.A.”
Showing us what single and ready to mingle is all about, huh! We see you, gurl.
Speaking of exciting and new things, the Princess Switch actress recently got a sexy new tattoo of a sunflower on the side of her left boob. Video (below)!
Hot! Hot! Hot! But also, looks so painful. Better than a breakup haircut, though, right?
