Vanessa Hudgens spent few precious days in the African safari, documenting her love for her boyfriend Austin Butler, but now she has more important matters to attend to - her friends!

Instead of spending her free time with her boyfriend, she dedicated much of her time back in Los Angeles seeking friends.

According to Just Jared, “The 26-year-old Gigi actress was seen out and about with a friend after lunching at Aroma Cafe in Studio City, Calif., on Thursday afternoon (August 13).”

Vanessa Hudgens had spent some quality time with her boyfriend Austin Butler in Africa after her ‘Gigi’ performance on Broadway. Seeing how the two love to take some private time, the African safari must have been perfect for them.

Check out a cool picture that “Gigi” star posted on her Instagram with Austin Butler.

During her run of “Gigi” on Broadway, Vanessa Hudgens didn’t upload a single picture with Austin on Instagram, let alone public appearance. So the first time that they reemerged was at this year’s San Diego Comic Con.

According to UPI, “Hudgens and Butler explored New Mexico and Arizona before returning to California for the MTV Fandom Awards on Thursday… The annual event marked the couple's first public appearance together this year.”

With “Gigi” closed, Vanessa Hudgens can concentrate on her boyfriend Austin Butler. Looks like “Gigi” star is coping with the shutting of the Broadway show with love from her boyfriend Austin Butler.

Vanessa Hudgens and her boyfriend Austin Butler have been facing countless split rumors every day since she started her run on Broadway’s ‘Gigi’. The actress did not upload a single picture of her boyfriend in 2015 until this moment.
