Former “Coronation Street” actress Katie McGlynn stirred controversy recently when she was spotted kissing “EastEnders” actor Max Bowden. This public display of affection followed Katie’s recent breakup with “The Only Way is Essex” star Ricky Rayment. Despite the fallout from the split, sources close to the pair have revealed that Katie and Max’s relationship is genuine and not just a fleeting fling.
According to insiders, Katie, 32, known for her role as Sinead Tinker on “Coronation Street,” and Max, 30, who plays Ben Mitchell on “EastEnders,” have been building a strong connection while on tour for the comedy drama “Murder At Midnight.” Their bond has deepened, evident from their intimate moments caught on camera during a night out in Malvern, Worcestershire.
While Katie ended her two-year relationship with Ricky in July, Max has a history of dating co-stars, including fellow “EastEnders” actresses Shona McGarty and Danielle Harold. Despite the unexpected turn of events, sources close to Ricky disclosed that he was taken aback by the news of Katie and Max’s budding romance.
The chemistry between Katie and Max has not gone unnoticed, with sources mentioning their shared background in the soap opera industry. Both single at the same time and spending considerable time together on tour, the pair’s compatibility and connection have sparked interest in their future together.
Although fans were surprised by Katie’s split from Ricky, who met on a cruise ship in 2023, the couple’s breakup in July was confirmed after they removed all traces of each other from social media. As Katie and Max continue their play for the next few months, their happiness and optimism about the relationship’s potential growth are apparent.
