Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez, the new couple, were seen going on a classic date on Monday as they enjoyed a horse ride in Sardinia, where they are vacationing. Despite their evident physical chemistry, the pair took the time to explore the romantic side of their relationship. Zac even treated Michelle to a view of his impressive and muscular physique by taking off his shirt during the ride.

Dashing: Zac Efron surprised onlookers by removing his shirt while enjoying a horseback ride with Michelle Rodriguez in Sardinia on Monday.

What a lovely sight: Zac and Michelle were riding their horses together, trotting through a lake in Italy. While Zac opted for a simple black T-shirt and jeans, he soon found himself feeling too warm in the Italian sunshine. Michelle, on the other hand, also dressed in all-black attire, wore a long-sleeved crop top that showcased her toned midriff, paired with low-rise jeans tucked into stylish leather riding boots. The pair were enjoying their ride alongside their friend and host Gianluca Vacchi, a successful businessman and charismatic public figure.

Zac’s sensational physique was proudly displayed as he revealed his sculpted arms and chiseled abs by removing his T-shirt.

Looking for any opportunity to be nearby, Zac casually put his arm around Michelle while leaning in to view the pictures she had captured.

Check out how adorable we look!: Zac and Michelle chuckled at the action shots of them riding horses. Zac appeared to be a pro rider, while Michelle found it a bit challenging but still had a blast, letting out a playful shout.

Once they finished the ride, Zac peeked at the photos on Michelle’s camera, wrapping his arm around her as he examined them closely. The exact start of their relationship is unclear, but they started their Italian getaway just a week ago.

Michelle, who turns 36 in a few days, used to date Cara Delevingne.

Drenched and exhilarated: Michelle couldn’t help but let out a joyful shriek as water splashed over her, unconcerned with her appearance.

Casual horseback riders: Zac seemed like a pro in the saddle, while Michelle looked like she was just starting out.

Cowboys Zac and Michelle were hanging out with their buddy Gianluca Vacchi, who was also shirtless. The pair was spotted sharing a kiss at a basketball game in February, making their relationship public. Michelle and the 21-year-old model reportedly broke up last month, as they haven’t been seen together since May. Last year, Michelle opened up about her sexuality in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, revealing, ‘I’ve explored both sides.’

Pumping up the power: Zac showed off his impressive arm strength as he pulled on the reins, guiding his horse as they galloped through the shallow water.

At the peak of style: Michelle sported a crop top paired with low-rise jeans and riding boots, while Zac coordinated with an all-black outfit.

Having some fun: Michelle quickly adapted to horseback riding and grew more self-assured as she went along. Addressing rumors about her romantic encounters with women, she confidently stated: “I do what I want. I’m too damn curious to not explore when I have the chance. Men interest me. Women do too.”

Before Zac Efron and Cara Delevingne, there were speculations that Michelle had a romantic involvement with Vin Diesel after they met on the set of Fast And The Furious. Additionally, there were rumors linking her to Halle Berry’s ex-husband Olivier Martinez, back when he was single and working alongside Michelle in the action film S.W.A.T.

What a fantastic way to spend a holiday: cooling off in the refreshing waters of a beautiful Italian lake on a scorching summer day.

Venturing out: Zac rode his beloved chestnut horse across a meadow, enjoying the feeling of freedom it brought him.

Ideal vacation: Zac has been enjoying a getaway with Michelle since the beginning of the week, but the timeline of their relationship remains a mystery. Michelle once shared with Cosmopolitan that she is attracted to rugged, manly men and not into metrosexuals who pamper themselves more than she does. Living in Los Angeles for eight years, she found it challenging to find a suitable partner.
On the other hand, Zac was last rumored to be romantically involved with his Neighbors colleague Halston Sage. Although they were spotted spending time together, they never officially confirmed their relationship. Previously, the actor was in a long-term relationship with his High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens for four years and briefly dated Lily Collins last year.

No drama: Zac seemed to be donning the identical black T-shirt and jeans that he had on at the club earlier in the day.

Michelle showed her love for animals as she gently patted her horse at the conclusion of their journey.

These boots were definitely meant for the saddle: Michelle may have been looking stunning in her outfit, but she was definitely ready for a day of riding.
