It seems it may be the end for one real life EastEnders and Coronation Street romantic crossover, as a couple made up of one star from each show has appeared to call it quits
A real life soap couple have appear to broken up, just months after the EastEnders and Corrie stars were seen smooching in public. EastEnders Max Bowden and Corrie’s Katie McGlynn are said to have gone their separate ways.
Max, who plays Ben Mitchell on the BBC soap, met Katie, who played Sinead Tinker on ITV’s Coronation Street, earlier this year, when they both starred in the play Murder at Midnight. The pair soon started dating and were snapped kissing after a night out in Mulvern in October. But, only a few months after their passionate embrace, they are thought to have broken up.

A source told The Sun that the relationship is over, as Katie “decided to end things”. They said: “Max and Katie have had a bit of a whirlwind romance. Working together has meant they didn’t have much time for anything else and one thing led to another but Katie has come to her senses and decided to end things.”
They added that Max was “pretty cut up” by the split and that things backstage on the Murder at Midnight tour were “awkward”. The tour is set to continue with both Max and Katie well into 2026. There will be a break over Christmas, but it will pick up again in the New Year, and the source said Katie was “hoping Max will be over it” when they next work with each other.
Katie and Max have been very publicly affectionate with each other during their relationship and have been seen on multiple nights out together. But Katie is not the only costar that Max has dated.
In the past, he has been linked to Shona McGarty, who played Whitney Dean on EastEnders before her time on I’m A Celeb, and Danielle Harold. Danielle played Lola Pearce on the show, who had a daughter, Lexi, with Max’s Ben Mitchell.
Meanwhile Katie has previously dated TOWIE star Ricky Rayment. He was reported to be devastated when he learned that his ex had moved on with Max, and was said to have been hurt by the photos of the pair kissing.
A source previously told The Sun: “[Ricky] wishes her the best, he would just rather not have seen those snaps while things are still pretty raw for him.” The Mirror has reached out to Max and Katie’s reps for comment.
