Former Coronation Street actress Katie McGlynn has reunited with her ex-boyfriend Max Bowden, according to reports. 

The couple had a brief romance last year after they starred in the same play, Murder at Midnight, but split in December. 

However insiders now say Katie, 32, and Max, 31, are back on track, with the EastEnders actor spending time at her house in Manchester over the last week.  

'Katie and Max had a whirlwind romance last year but sadly things didn’t work out. They remained friends and over the last couple weeks decided to give things another go,' a source told The Sun. 

'There was a lot of attention on their relationship so they were hoping to keep things private this time around.'

Daily Mail has contacted Katie and Max's representatives for comment.  

Back in December, it was reported the pair had a whirlwind romance while they were on tour.  

Katie and Max were seen at the time having a steamy kiss during a night out in Worcestershire after an evening performance at Malvern Theatre. 

A source told the publication at the time: 'Max and Katie have been around each other for years. They were in the soap world for so long where everyone knows each other.

'They've got loads in common and both have found themselves single at the same time as doing the tour.

'They get on well and have been spending time together - it's clear they've got chemistry. Who knows what the future holds?'

Katie’s ex, TOWIE star Ricky Rayment, was said to be left devastated by their public kiss after she moved on quickly following their failed engagement. 

The actress, who left Corrie in 2022 after her character Sinead Tinker died of cervical cancer, split from Ricky in July 2025 after two years of dating. 

Meanwhile, Max and his ex Tori Allen-Martin went their separate ways last in September after meeting when they starred together in the musical Midnight Cowboy. 

The former couple were said to have been 'inseparable' during the show's run but split ahead of his brief soap return as Ben Mitchell. 

Tori is best known for her role in BBC sitcom Here We Go in which she plays Cherry alongside Alison Steadman and Katherine Parkinson.
