There’s nothing like a real-life romance between co-stars to help promote a movie!

But what happens when the couple split BEFORE the film hits the big screen…?

Well, poor Vanessa Hudgens and Josh Hutcherson found out the hard way during a promo tour for their new release ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,’ in Oz.



Despite showing a united front at the Melbourne premiere of the adventure flick, the ex couple, who briefly dated last year, were left red-faced when quizzed about their “fling” on live Aussie TV show TODAY.

After being asked by host Ben Fordman, “How long have you two been going out?” there was a cringeworthy silence before Josh finally explained,

“We're not....

“We were at one point, but she broke my heart. No, I'm just kidding, that was a while ago, we're really good friends now.”


Not to mention the fact that V’s rarely been out of a lip-lock with her new beau Austin Butler these past few months!

Don’t miss Vanessa and Josh in ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,’ when it hits cinemas on January 26!
