Did Max Collins just soft-launch her new beau?
Dating rumors began to swirl online after the Sparkle GMA Artist Center talent posted birthday photos from El Nido, Palawan.
On August 24, 2025, Max took to Instagram to share snapshots from her celebration — including one showing a mystery man holding her hand from behind.
She simply captioned it with, "Birthday szn," as she marked her 33rd birthday on August 28, 2025.
It seems Max' social circle is already in the loop.
Content creator Sandy Riccio wrote, "7th pic >> [heart emoji]."
Janina Manipol gushed, "Hand reveal na i love it!!! [heart eyes emojis]."
Carla Abellana dropped heart emojis in the comments.
Meanwhile, some of her Instagram followers expressed their kilig and support after seeing the photo.
In her March 2024 interview with Inquirer.net, Max revealed that many have tried to court her, but she has since raised her standards for men..
She explained: "I had to raise my standards from when I was younger.
"I’m older now, so the things I’m looking for are different, not someone not ready to settle or someone that isn’t serious. I don’t have time for that.
"I don’t want to date for the sake of dating. I have a son, so I have to think what would be the best situation for him."
Roughly 10 months have passed since Max announced on 24 Oras in October 2024 that she and Pancho Magno had divorced
She said, "We're legally separated na. Yes, it's official na."
Despite the separation, the former couple continue to practice positive co-parenting for their son, Skye Anakin.
Max said: "We're good, we're great. It really works for us. It's been really healthy and we're both happy as our son's very happy so it really worked out for the best.
“We wanted to show people that you can be like us. It’s possible,”
