Kapuso actress Max Collins is once again at the center of online buzz after a TikTok video showing her walking alongside a tall, foreign-looking man went viral — sparking rumors of a new romance.
Captured in Loboc, Bohol, the video shows Max smiling and casually strolling with the man, who, according to the uploader, could be her “new jowa.” Both were seen wearing white tops and shorts, which only fueled more speculation from netizens about their closeness.
The TikTok post’s comment section quickly lit up with reactions, with one commenter directly asking if the man is indeed Max’s new boyfriend. The uploader confidently replied, “Yes,” adding that the pair are reportedly keeping things “lowkey.”

So far, Max has not issued any official statement regarding the viral video or her rumored relationship. However, this isn’t the first time she has been linked to a foreigner. Entertainment columnist Salve Asis previously wrote about reports claiming that the actress was in a relationship with a wealthy Spanish businessman, which some believe explains her frequent overseas travels.
Social media users also took notice of the man’s mature appearance, with some comparing the supposed relationship to actress Beauty Gonzalez and her older husband, Norman Crisologo. A few fans even commented that Max might be drawn to someone with “rich tito vibes.”
Back in a past interview, Max openly said she was ready to love again, but emphasized she no longer wanted to date fellow actors. “Non-artista. Ayoko na ng artista,” she said. “Because I feel like you’re so used to being in the spotlight and being in dramas na nadadala mo siya sa totoong buhay. Ayoko nang ganoon.”
Max married Kapuso actor Pancho Magno in 2017, and the two have a son named Skye. They legally separated in 2024, but continue to co-parent amicably.
As of now, fans will have to wait for Max’s side of the story — but one thing’s for sure: she looks happier than ever.
