A source said: "Zac is relieved to be out of the pressure cooker, because Vanessa's mother has been putting serious heat on him to make an honest woman out of her daughter. She is old-school and doesn't approve of Vanessa living with Zac without some type of wedding promise."
Efron 21, is believed to have asked 20-year-old Vanessa to marry him while they holidayed in Japan in January to appease Vanessa Hudgens' mother who was rather old fashioned. After seeing all those nude pics of her daughter scattered all over the internet, I don't blame her either
The couple spend most of their time living in Vanessa's six-bedroom Tuscan style mansion in Studio City, California despite Efron spending $2.3million on his own modern, two-bedroom house in the Hollywood Hills last December.
The source added to National Enquirer magazine: "Zac loves the current arrangement. He adores Vanessa and they gel really well together. Gina already considers Zac a part of the family. So she's happy that he proposed."
It has been reported that the couple, who met on the set of "High School Musical," hopes to tie the knot sometime next year.
Do you believe that? I don't! They're way too young. Chances are they'll probably break up before then
