EastEnders actor Max Bowden has been spotted leaving his co-star Shona McGarty’s home amid talk of the pair’s relationship

EastEnders star Max Bowden has been spotted leaving the house of co-star Shona McGarty amid rumors of a blossoming relationship between the pair.

The 27-year-old, who plays Ben Mitchell in the BBC drama, was photographed leaving the Shona’s Welwyn Garden City property one morning earlier this week.

The actor split from his pregnant girlfriend earlier this year and is now said to be spending a lot of time at Shona’s £650,000 home.

A source told Sun on Sunday: “They spend as much time together as possible. Most evenings or mornings, Max is seen going in and out of Shona’s house. He wears the same clothes most days.

“They’ve been trying to keep their relationship a secret and they’ve driven to the segregated EastEnders neighborhood, but anyone who sees them together can see how they feel about each other.”

Shona, who played Whitney Dean on the series, was described as “a shoulder to cry on” after Max split from insurance executive Roisin Buckle.

However, the former couple are said to remain friends and plan to parent together.

At the time, a source said, “Max and Shona are mad at each other. They’ve been spending quality time together for a while.

“Max and Shona’s friendship is more compelling than the plot of EastEnders.”

A friend of the two actors added: “Shona and Max have been friends for many years but they are completely unrelated.

“Shona has been a great support for Max over the past few months and a shoulder to cry on.”

Meanwhile, Shona revealed last year that she was ready to get back into the dating scene more than two years after her engagement to her longtime fiance ended.

She was engaged to electrician Ryan Harris for 18 months before their relationship broke down in late 2019.

The Mirror has contacted Max’s representative for comment.
