Kyle Kuzma Dates Famous Highschooler

Ok, so she hasn’t been in high school for quite some time, but everyone knows Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical. Well, that, and those sweet nudes from years ago. Nevertheless, that is all behind Hudgens, and so is a high profile relationship with actor Austin Butler.

NBA player Kyle Kuzma is in New York with the Los Angeles Lakers to play the New York Knicks, and by the looks of it, he is seemingly unfazed by their 139 – 107 loss to Celtics the night before.

He took some time off from practice to wine and dine Hudgens at Lilia in Brooklyn. No one can confirm that the two were on a date, but hanging out at a small table by themselves with a bottle of wine and huge smiles seems pretty date-ish. Pair that with some recent public flirtation over social media, and it’s pretty easy to read between the lines.

Hudgens’ relationship with Butler lasted nine years. Before that, she dated Zac Efron for five years while Kuzma has made a name for himself as somewhat of a ladies man with links to model Katya Elise Henry and Kendall Jenner in the past year alone. The two may be just friends, but it is more likely that Kuzma is trying to catch this rebound and score just as much off the court as he does on it.

Neither of these stars is new to their business being all over social media, but it’s doubtful that we will hear much more about this unless things start heating up. As for Hudgens’ breakup, a rep claimed that distance between her and Butler was the culprit, so maybe dating an NBA star who sleeps in a different city every night is not the best choice for the actress. Big ups to Kyle for shooting his shot and good luck, my dude.
