EastEnders’ Max Bowden and Shona McGarty SPLIT after secret romance

thesun.co.uk:

EASTENDERS co-stars Max Bowden and Shona McGarty have split – six months after they started dating. The actor, who plays Ben Mitchell in the BBC1 soap, and stunning Shona decided it wasn't going to work after Max became a dad for the first time with his ex girlfriend.

A source said: “There has been a lot going on in Max’s life and things were just getting too complicated with Shona being involved. “Max will always have a lot of love and respect for Shona but it’s just not the right time. “Everyone is trying to make things as least awkward as possible on set – luckily they don’t have many scenes together.” A friend close to the couple added: "Max and Shona have never spoken on it publicly but as their close circle would know, they were never in an official relationship and remain close friends who decided not to pursue anything romantic a number of months ago." Last month Max’s ex Roisin Buckle gave birth to a baby boy following their split in April.
