Sorry everyone,Dylan Efron— a.k.a. Miss Guided — is taken.

The Traitorsstar— who is also actorZac Efron’s younger brother — stole the hearts of viewers everywhere during his time on the competition reality show. But off-screen, he’s been in a long-term relationship with his high school sweetheart, Courtney King.

During a March 2025 appearance onThe Viall Filespodcast, Efron shared “she knows the answer” about whether or not marriage is down the line, and assured hostsNatalie JoyandNick Viallthat they weren’t going to stay boyfriend and girlfriend forever.

“Courtney’s so down to earth,” Efron said. “She’s not going to put a deadline on me.”

While he has been fairly quiet about their relationship, Efron has opened up about some of his dating preferences. During a February 2025 interview withWe Met At Acme, he shared that “having an independent person is amazing.”

So who is Dylan Efron’s girlfriend? Here’s everything to know about Courtney King and her relationship withThe Traitorsstar.

She prefers to stay out of the spotlight

While Efron has followed in his brother’s footsteps with a career in Hollywood, King prefers to stay more private.

“It’s cool because she’s actually not on social media and she works a 40-hour-a-week job,” Efron said onThe Viall Files. “It works out really well, it’s not like I’m hiding her from the world or anything. She understands the job, all that stuff. She doesn’t really like being on camera.”

Efron told Viall that she “loves” their podcast, and that he “wouldn’t know about it” if King didn’t introduce him to it. Once he arrived toThe Traitors, Efron used some knowledge he learned from the podcast to form connections with fellow players, specificallyVanderpump Rules’Tom Sandoval.

During a February 2025 interview withCosmopolitan, Efron recalled his first words to Sandoval being, “You look really familiar.”

“I had no idea who he was. And he’s like, ‘Yeah, you probably know me from…’ " Efron said, referencingSandoval’s cheating scandalwith ex-girlfriendAriana Madix, a.k.a. Scandoval.

“I was like, ‘Oh, I think I listened to a Nick Viall podcast with you,’ " Efron continued. “I told my girlfriend I said that and she was like, ‘That wasn’t the podcast you should have said. It wasn’t his best moment.’ "

“Survivorwas the day one. I watched all the old schoolSurvivorsand quite a few of the new seasons as well,” he said onThe Viall Files. “So when I showed up to the castle and it was a bunch of the all-time bestSurvivorplayers, I was like holy s— … here I am in a castle playing with my childhood heroes.”

“My girlfriend just watches a lot of them, too. So I’ll just be sitting down and all of a sudden I’ve watched a whole episode ofSouthern Charm,” Efron said. “There’s some funny s— that goes down in this stuff.”

They have a shared passion for traveling and adventure

During his appearance onThe Viall Files, Efron discussed a recent rock climbing adventure in Joshua Tree, Calif., saying, “She’s a trooper. She can keep up.”

Based on Efron’s Instagram posts, the pair have enjoyed lakeboat rides, exploredmuddy watersand hiked in Hawaii together.

Although he has a love for the outdoors, Efron got candid during a February 2025 interview withCosmopolitanand joked that he wouldn’t recommend anyone “making a move on a camping first date.”

“No one’s at their best when they’re camping,” he said. “We’re all smelly, we are all gross.”

He assured Viall and Joy that there is no deadline or rush to tie the knot — but that he was excited for what’s to come.

“I am now in that stage, I am looking at that next chapter. I want kids,” he said. “I’ve got a little brother and sister that are like 4 and 5 now, so I’ve got to see the joy of them growing up and I want that for myself, too.”
