Zac Efron has a younger brother, Dylan Efron, who was born about four years after him to Starla Baskett and David Efron. Now a TV personality, producer, and production coordinator, he is actually from San Luis Obispo, California, and was named after singer Bob Dylan.
Dylan attended California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics in 2013. Born on February 6, 1992, he is 33 years old, as of this writing, and has already achieved significant feats in his life and career.
Talking about his personal life, though it wasn’t always smooth sailing for the brothers, Dylan has grown very close to Zac over the years since he graduated from college and started his first job (via BroBible). Oh, and he’s a dog parent too, to a sweet dog named Booey!

Plus, he’s also incredibly athletic and active, and a massive lover of the outdoors, considering all his frequent shares of his adventures in surfing, skateboarding, kayaking, marathons, and many more sports on his Instagram handle. Read on to know more about his earnings, work in Hollywood, and relationship with his childhood sweetheart, Courtney King.
Dylan Efron’s Career in Hollywood and Social Media Influence
Dylan Efron is not only a social media influencer on Instagram with 1.4 million followers, but he has also worked as a production coordinator and producer on multiple projects in Hollywood.
This includes his work as a production coordinator on films like Ready Player One, The Accountant, Live by Night, and American Sniper. Plus, for the Daytime Emmy Award-winning travel documentary starring his older brother, which was named Down to Earth with Zac Efron, he served as the producer.
Besides this, he and his brother also collaborated on a YouTube channel. In March 2019, Zac Efron announced the creation of their YouTube channel via his X handle, which hosts two weekly series: Off the Grid and Gym Time.

Of them, Off the Grid follows the Efron brothers as they take part in outdoor activities and trips without any electronic devices, with the only exception being a video camera to document their adventurous experiences. Gym Time, on the other hand, had Zac talk about nutrition (per Observer).
Then, in June 2024, it was announced that Dylan would set to be a contestant on the third season of Peacock’s The Traitors. This season premiered in January 2025, and he was one of the few declared the winners of the show as ‘Faithfuls’, alongside Lord Ivar Mountbatten, Dolores Catania, and Gabby Windey (via Parade).

Not to mention, in September 2025, the social media influencer was also announced as a celebrity participant for Season 34 of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Dylan has partnered with professional dancer Daniella Karagatch for the competition.
In fact, as he shared with PEOPLE soon after his selection in the reality television show, the 33-year-old star’s mother had actually been hoping for some Efron inclusion on the respective series as well. And this was a long time before the news of his latest stint dropped, around two decades ago! As Dylan Efron confided in the interview,
My mom, her dream was Zac doing the show 20 years ago. So I’m really excited for my mom to be there. But also, my dad and my little brother, and little sister. It’s gonna make me tear up to see them in the stands.
Adding to this, he also commented on his in-the-works creative connection with his pro dancing partner Karagach, 32, saying,
It’s nice though. I think we understand how each other’s brains work when we’re training. We know when we’re tired, we get very distracted, a bit of ADD. It’s been fun. It’s a fun mix of, we get hyper-focused and are trying our hardest. And then we’re twerking for 45 minutes.
By the way, this pair will be facing off against some fierce competition on their quest for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, so this would truly be an interesting chapter to explore in Dylan’s life (via Good Morning America on YouTube).
Other than these, one might also consider Dylan Efron’s guest appearances on multiple talk shows, including the top-rated ones like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, and The Kelly Clarkson Show this year. So that’s that too!

Not only is Dylan a GoPro ambassador, but he is also a partner with the travel company Elsewhere. Besides, he has worked behind the scenes in Hollywood as an assistant to producer Ravi D. Mehta on pieces like Get Hard (2015), CHIPS (2017), and Unforgettable (2017). Per Reality Tea, he made an onscreen appearance in A Star is Born (2018) as well, and also serves as a board member for the Mammoth Film Festival.
All About Dylan Efron’s Relationship With Courtney King
Apart from the intrigue surrounding his career, earnings, and life in Hollywood, Dylan Efron’s love life has garnered some significant interest as well. For one, he currently continues to be in a long-term relationship with his high school sweetheart and partner off the dance floor, Courtney King. (If you were shipping him with his onstage dance partner, Daniella Karagach, time to face the moment of truth!)
This couple, of course, has been as private about their love life as ever, not even revealing when they started dating. However, photos of the two have appeared on Efron’s Instagram from as early as October 2016, which gives away some clues. What is known, though, is that the two met in high school, as he confessed during his appearance on The Viall Files:
We’re from the same hometown.
But this lovey-dovey couple has different approaches when it comes to fame and life in the spotlight. While Dylan chose to walk in his brother Zac’s footsteps with a career in Hollywood, King really values her privacy and prefers to maintain it. Talking about it on the podcast, he said:
It’s cool because she’s actually not on social media and she works a 40-hour-a-week job. 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.
Nonetheless, King has still done a spectacular job in influencing her boyfriend’s taste in television. This is because he actually shares his reality TV passion with his girlfriend, being a vocal lover of CBS’s hit series Survivor. Sharing about it on The Viall Files, Dylan said,
I watched all the old school Survivors and quite a few of the new seasons as well. So when I showed up to the castle and it was a bunch of the all-time best Survivor players, 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 of Southern Charm. There’s some funny s— that goes down in this stuff.
Plus, besides this, the two also seem to have a shared passion for travel and adrenaline-filled sports. Based on his Instagram posts, the couple has magnificently enjoyed lake boat rides, explored muddy waters together, and even hiked in Hawaii. On the podcast, he discussed their recent rock climbing adventure in Joshua Tree, California, saying about his girlfriend,
She’s a trooper. She can keep up.
And finally, for those who must be patiently holding on to know the ultimate answer: Yes, Dylan Efron and Courtney King are certainly “working on” the potential plans of marriage in the near future. After all, they have reportedly been together for almost a decade!
On the podcast, he assured hosts Nick Viall and Natalie Joy that there is no rush or deadline to tie the knot for this particular heartwarming pair, though he’s significantly excited for what’s to come in their relationship in the near future. Addressing the thought of marriage in the future for them, he said,
We’re working on it. I am now in that stage, I am looking at that next chapter. I want kids. 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.
At the same time, he also made sure to mention that his longtime girlfriend “knows the answer” about whether or not marriage is down the line for them, while making it clear that the two weren’t going to stay dating forever. As Dylan said,
Courtney’s so down to earth. She’s not going to put a deadline on me.
As heartwarming as that sounds, it certainly seems like Dylan Efron has found the love of his life in Courtney King, all the while establishing a fair career for himself as not only a producer in Hollywood but also a commendable social media personality. When he will have her walk down the aisle to him and say ‘I do’ while taking their vows together, though, remains to be seen.
