Katie McGlynn Shares Summer Photos Amidst Relationship with Max Bowden

Former Coronation Street actress Katie McGlynn, 33, recently took to Instagram to share a collection of summer photos, highlighting her rekindled relationship with EastEnders star Max Bowden. The post featured McGlynn in a light blue bikini, relaxing and enjoying a cocktail, accompanied by the caption "Overdue summer dump." Bowden, 31, responded to the post with a loving comment, confirming their continued closeness.

The couple reportedly reunited earlier in the year and made their relationship public in the summer. This follows a previous romance that began after they starred together in the play "Murder at Midnight." They reportedly split in December, but sources indicated they decided to give their relationship another chance.

Earlier this summer, McGlynn and Bowden were seen together at Manchester Pride, where McGlynn shared photos of them enjoying the festivities. McGlynn, who played Sinead Tinker in Coronation Street, was seen in a sparkly black top and silver miniskirt, while Bowden, who portrayed Ben Mitchell in EastEnders, wore a white t-shirt and a backward baseball cap.

Reports of their reconciliation surfaced in April, with a source telling The Sun that the couple aimed to keep their relationship private this time around. Their initial romance was described as a "whirlwind" after meeting on tour.

McGlynn left Coronation Street in 2019 after her character's death from cervical cancer. She previously dated TOWIE star Ricky Rayment, splitting in July 2025. Bowden's previous relationship was with actress Tori Allen-Martin, with whom he split in September after meeting during the musical "Midnight Cowboy."
