Max Emerson is officially off the market again — and fans couldn’t be happier to see the model, filmmaker, and longtime LGBTQ+ creator smiling in love once more.
The 37-year-old influencer shared the big news on Instagram this week, posting a photo with his new boyfriend @brendan_brendan_ and writing, “Thrilled to no longer be taking boyfriend applications.”
For followers who have kept up with Max’s journey, the post marks the start of a new chapter after what’s been a deeply emotional year.
Earlier in 2025, Max confirmed that he and his fiancé Andrés Camilo had called it quits after nearly a decade together.
The two were one of social media’s favorite power couples, known for their humor, activism, and travel adventures shared with hundreds of thousands of followers.
The breakup came only months after a devastating fire destroyed their Los Angeles home in late 2024 — an event Max later described as “heartbreaking and surreal.”
In a statement at the time, the couple said that the trauma of losing their home had “accelerated” conversations about their relationship and what they both needed moving forward.
After parting ways amicably, Max spent much of the past year focusing on rebuilding his life, splitting time between Los Angeles and New York while continuing his work as a content creator and filmmaker.
That’s why this new post — featuring a smiling, relaxed Max and Brendan side by side — feels especially full-circle.
The couple has shared glimpses of hikes, sunsets, and low-key days with friends, but this is the first time Max has confirmed their relationship publicly.
And if the comments are any indication, fans are more than ready to celebrate this new romance.
“Love looks good on you,” one follower wrote, while another added, “Finally! A man who matches your glow.”
After a year defined by loss and growth, Max’s message is clear: healing happens, love returns, and sometimes, it even comes with a spooky-season soft launch.
Here’s to new beginnings, fresh energy, and a very loved-up Max Emerson and Brendan. ❤️
