Love life and girlfriend
Zach’s highly secretive when it comes to his love life, and hasn’t spoken of any girls (or boys) whom he has perhaps been with. This is perhaps why there are various rumors circulating the internet, concerning both his sexual orientation and current relationship status.
Some of his fans believe him to be gay, because Zach hasn’t been seen spending time with any girls, nor has he uploaded any pictures which feature girls onto his Instagram account. A fan has even claimed to have seen Zach spending time with a boy who could perhaps be his boyfriend, however, no evidence has been provided to support these claims, nor has Zach commented on this.
There are also some who believe that he’s today in a relationship with a non-celebrity girl, and prefers to keep her away from media; this hasn’t been confirmed either.
As of August 2021, Zach seems to be single, hasn’t married, and doesn’t have children.
Hobbies and other interests
Zach enjoyed travelling during the time he was active in the film industry, which took him to several US states, while his dream travel destination was Los Angeles, California.
He’s today physically highly active, and has four to five training sessions at the gym each week, thus his muscular body. Zach has made his Instagram account private, however, those who are following him can see the pictures which feature him shirtless. He also enjoys playing sports, including football and soccer.
Zach’s a huge lover of animals, and has apparently volunteered at an animal shelter close to his house.
