“They’re crazy about each other!” EastEnders’ Shona McGarty and Max Bowden are ‘inseparable’ on the soap set following his split from pregnant girlfriend Roisin Buckle.
Shona McGarty and Max Bowden are reportedly “mad for each other” and “inseparable” on the EastEnders set after he split from pregnant girlfriend Roisin Buckle.
The 30-year-old actress, who plays Whitney Dean, and her 27-year-old co-star, who plays Ben Mitchell in the lead, are said to be tactile and “never apart” while filming the show.
It was also claimed Max swore to his baby mama that he wasn’t romantic with anyone else when they called it quits last month.

A source told The Sun: “Max and Shona are crazy about each other. They’ve been spending quality time together for some time now.
“Shona has been a great support for Max over the last few months and a shoulder to cry on.
“Who knows what could happen in the future, but for now they’re just good friends.”

They went on to admit that the pair are “absolutely not in a relationship,” with the actors also insisting they’re not “officially dating.”
In March, Max and Shona put on a cozy show while having fun at a country music festival held at the O2 Arena in London.
The red-haired beauty is believed to be a single woman after splitting from her fiancé, electrician Ryan Harris, in January 2020.
Max split from insurance manager Roisin, 36, earlier this year, but the couple are said to have been “excited” at the prospect of becoming parents and found out they were expecting it a while ago.

A friend told The Sun: “They split earlier this year. There was nobody else involved, it just didn’t work out.
“Max and Roisin remained good friends and were thrilled when she found out she was pregnant.
“They are determined to raise the child together and support each other. It’s been a tough year for Max, so he was delighted when he found out he was going to be a father.
“He’s really looking forward to the future.”
The source also told the publication that those who know the couple “couldn’t be more excited.”
They confirmed their romance last October – five months after they started dating. Throughout their romance, the couple largely stayed out of the spotlight.
Shona and Max’s reps have been contacted for comment.
