Vanessa Hudgens [1] and Austin Butler have been together for quite some time — like seven-plus years of time — and are still going very, very strong. Ever since rumours started stirring that the young Disney stars were dating back in 2011, they've pretty much been inseparable (despite other Hollywood romances crashing and burning [2]). Through monumental career moments — like Austin's casting as Elvis Presley [3] in the new biopic — and magical getaways [4], their romance is never-ending. And to be honest, we can't think of a better pairing than these two Halloween-obsessed [5], festival-loving free spirits. In an effort to discover their secret to a relationship that lasts forever, let's go back in time and look at their fairy tale love story [6], shall we?
