For the time being, Max has not yet said anything publicly about his breakup with Danielle. A source close to the actor told the Mail Online, this Wednesday, 16 June, that there had been trouble in paradise for quite some time before their separation.

Max is still very fond of Danielle and he's gutted it didn't work out. The consolation is at least they parted on good terms.
