For Efron, the end of the 2014 summer season brought with it a hot new romance. For Miró, a former Junior Olympic gymnast who worked as a marketing exec before landing her first modeling contract, the sudden onslaught of public scrutiny was an adjustment.
"Um, it's definitely different. I think that you have to take that [kind of attention] with a grain of salt, and put yourself in other people's positions," she told Elle in March 2015. "It kind of just comes with the territory, and I know there's no really changing that, so you have to just embrace it...I'm not trying to hide anything in my life. If I was dating someone who wasn't in the limelight, I might have more photos on [Instagram] of our relationship, but I do think it's important. I mean, it's what is going on in my life, and I think that my social media can still represent that."
As such, the twosome didn't make efforts to hide their union, acknowledging their September anniversary on Instagram in 2015. But by the following April, "the spark had died," one insider told E! News at the time, explaining why Efron decided to end things with the 32-year-old. "It wasn't an easy breakup. Distance and work schedules got in the way with their relationship and Zac wanted to focus on his career."
