The Truth About Siesta Key Star Kelsey Owens' Boyfriend
The highly anticipated Season 4 of MTV's "Siesta Key" is right around the corner. Shot abroad in Palm Island, Grenadines, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the "Laguna Beach"-like reality TV show will be back starting May 12 and will be fueling viewers' drama cravings weekly. While the upcoming season will be set in a new place, there will also be a new face — well, somewhat new. According to Life & Style Magazine, OG cast member Kelsey Owens has a new boyfriend, Max Strong, whom she has brought "along for the ride" this season. Fans first caught a glimpse of Max during Season 3, but the pair weren't dating yet.
On the show, Kelsey is known for "her on-again, off-again friendship with Juliette, and a rocky relationship with Garrett," via MTV, so we can only assume this new couple alert will cause tension to rise between cast members. So, as we wait for the new season to drop, we decided to do some digging to find out more about Kelsey's new flame. For those who consider themselves reality TV-obsessed or just diehard fans of the show, keep reading to find out everything we know about this relationship.
Kelsey and Max appear to be smitten with each other on their Instagrams
Based on Kelsey Owens' and Max Strong's Instagram accounts, it appears these two reality stars are head-over-heels for one another. Life & Style Magazine reports that the couple may have met through the reality show, since Max made a small cameo on Season 3, and that the pair became "official" in the summer of 2020. Back in August, Kelsey posted her first picture with Max where she gave insight into their budding romance. She wrote, "Max, words can't begin to express how grateful I am that you came into my life this past year. Thank you for staying by my side through all the dysfunction and accepting me for exactly who I am [...]."
Max has been equally as lovey-dovey on his own Instagram, and you can find pictures of Kelsey sprinkled between his many photos of animals. As an animal-lover and activist, Max can often be found sharing photos of animals he's met at conservation centers all over the place. He's also often spreading the good word about what society can do to help the environment — something we love to see in a young person with a platform!
Hopefully we see Max pop up on this new season of "Siesta Key" so we can learn even more about him.
