Alert, single ladies and “High School Musical” fans: Zac Efron is planning to settle down.

The hunky “Baywatch” star disclosed to Cosmopolitan that he wants to relinquish his bachelor life in the following years. “I didn’t think much about settling down until recently,” Efron realized. “Now that I’m getting closer to my 30s, I’m around some great relationships and I’ve seen expert couples at work. I’m realizing that you have to find your own happiness before you can make somebody else happy.”

Whenever he is hooked to a girl, Efron runs to his 25-year-old brother Dylan for helpful advice. “If I’m dating someone, one of the few people I need to weigh in on the situation is my brother. We live together, and we’re different in a lot of ways, but he’s really grounded,” he bluntly said.

“He lived a more normal life than I did growing up, so he’s a great barometer for me. He’ll be like, ‘Are you sure you’re happy? Is this what you really want?’ Having my little brother around is a really great thing,” Efron expounded.

Efron, 29, was previously linked to model Sami Miro and actress Lily Collins. He was previously in a five-year relationship with “High School Musical” co-star Vanessa Hudgens.

While recovering from his split with Miro, Efron promotes his new film “Baywatch,” which also stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Priyanka Chopra.  Gianna Francesca Catolico /ra
