Zac Efron, 38, spotted partying with America's Got Talent star, 21

Zac Efron was seen enjoying a pre-Super Bowl celebration alongside America’s Got Talent alum Angelina Green, igniting speculation about a possible new connection between the two entertainers.

The 38-year-old actor and host, who won a Daytime Emmy Award, was photographed with the 21-year-old singer at Raising Cane’s pre-Super Bowl LX party held Saturday night in San Francisco, California.

The sighting quickly drew attention due to their 17-year age difference and the fact that both began their careers in the entertainment industry as teenagers.

Efron opted for a relaxed look at the event, wearing a black denim jacket paired with blue jeans. Green stood out in a fashion-forward outfit that showed off her midriff and legs, consisting of a split mini-skirt, a cropped shearling jacket, and blue knee-high boots.

The Miami-born performer did not attend the party alone. She arrived with her model friends Jadeyn Carr and Cassidy Smith and was seen mingling with the crowd throughout the night.

Representatives for both Efron and Green were contacted for comment, but no immediate response was given.

Green first rose to national attention in 2017 when she competed on season 12 of NBC’s America’s Got Talent. She was just 13 years old at the time and earned a golden buzzer from judge Heidi Klum for her performance of The Pretenders’ 1994 song "I'll Stand by You."

Her run on the show ended in the quarterfinals.

During her appearance on the series, Green spoke openly about her personal struggles, including her family situation and how music became an emotional refuge.

She explained, "I've been singing since forever, but I took it seriously when my parents got divorced and it was really hard for me. Music helped me so much."

She also shared, "When things weren't going so well in the house, I would always go to my room and play my music or my guitar or my ukulele."

Reflecting on the impact music had on her life, Green added, "I feel like music helped me escape to another world and I would forget about all my worries. Music was always there for me. It was really important to me."

After America’s Got Talent, Green appeared in the 2021 Nickelodeon pilot California Dreaming and later joined the musical group The Future X, which ultimately disbanded after a short run.

Efron, meanwhile, has largely kept his love life out of the spotlight in recent years. He has been single since ending a 10-month relationship with Australian influencer Vanessa Valladares in 2021.

His longest and most well-known relationship was with High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens, whom he dated for five years before their split in 2010.

Over the years, Efron has also been romantically linked to stylist Sami Miró, actress Michelle Rodriguez, and former child star Lindsay Lohan.

Professionally, the actor remains busy. In December, he wrapped filming on the thriller Famous, directed by Chad Hodge and based on Blake Crouch’s 2010 novel.

In the film, Efron plays movie star impersonator Lance Dunkquist alongside Phoebe Dynevor, Nicholas Braun, and Bill Pullman.

He is also set to star in the upcoming comedy Judgment Day, directed by Nicholas Stoller, in which he portrays a man who takes a reality TV judge, played by Will Ferrell, hostage during a live broadcast.

The Amazon MGM Studios project also features Regina Hall, Billy Eichner, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Michael Peña, Bobby Cannavale, Fortune Feimster, and Heidi Gardner.

In addition to acting, Efron continues to model for Police Lifestyle, the fashion brand owned by Ennio and Giorgio De Rigo, and recently made a guest appearance on Apple TV+ series The Studio.
