The former co-stars, whose characters Lola Pearce and Ben Mitchell shared a child together dated for years but kept their relationship under wraps.
Danielle left the long-running series in 2023 after Lola died from a brain tumour while Max exited the following year.
It was reported in February that the pair had unfollowed each other on Instagram, sparking mystery among EastEnders viewers over what had gone wrong between the ex-co-stars.
MailOnline can reveal sources close to the couple, who featured together on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, fell out over the breakdown of their relationship.
Following the end of her hard-hitting storyline on EastEnders, Danielle appeared on ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, alongside Jungle King Sam Thompson as well as Celebrity MasterChef and Celebrity Hunted.
A source said: 'Danielle and Max dated for a number of years.
'Of course, it was known among the EastEnders cast and everyone thought they were sweet together.
'Their relationship hasn't ended on the best terms, and they have even unfollowed each other on Instagram.

'There are a lot of emotions after they were friends, colleagues, and romantically involved for such a long time.'
Max's character Ben was written out of the show after he was jailed for credit card fraud in America, where he was researching treatment options for Lola's cancer.
He starred on the programme from 2019 as Phil Mitchell's son Ben, who has been portrayed by six different actors over the years, and featured in storylines including male rape and bulimia.
Following Lola's sad passing, which saw her leave behind her husband Jay Brown, played by Jamie Borthwick, and daughter Lexi, Max dedicated an Instagram post to Danielle.
He said: 'Our girl. What you have achieved in the last twelve months is extraordinary. My whole EastEnders 'journey' started with you, and what a ride it's been.
MailOnline has approached Danielle and Max for comment.
'Watching you work so closely everyday has been inspiring but hasn't quite topped being your friend. You've been there for all of us when we've needed a friend, and for that I can only thank you.'
Speaking about her close relationship with Max to promote their episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, which aired on Valentine's Day, Danielle said: 'It's nice to do something fun. With EastEnders, our storylines are really heavy and really sad.'
In response to Antiques Road Trip expert Ishy Khan, who said, 'You can tell there's love there', Danielle replied: 'Yeah, there is. He loves me really. He pretends like he don't, but he does.'
Max added: 'We did some really dark and beautiful storylines together so we've spent a lot of time in each other's pockets, which is why we're so comfortable with each other.'
Away from the drama of Albert Square, Max's love life has been well-documented.
He was in a relationship with insurance executive Roisin Buckle for a year but the couple split in 2022 despite expecting their first baby together.
Their son, Reginald Buckle, was born in September 2022, with the pair agreeing to co-parent.
In the same year, Max also dated EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, who played Whitney Dean, but they went their separate ways after six months.

Former EastEnders star slams soap over ‘ridiculous storylines' and reveals why she really left the show

A FORMER EastEnders star has slammed the soap's 'ridiculous storylines' and revealed why she really left the show. EastEnders viewers know Nina Wadia for playing Zainab Masood in the BBC soap for six years. 4 Nina Wadia played EastEnders' Zainab Masood for six years Credit: BBC 4 The star addressed her reasons for leaving the soap Credit: YouTube 4 Nina addressed her character's abuse by Yusef Khan Credit: Handout Zainab arrived in 2007 before eventually leaving Walford behind in 2013. Over a decade on, Nina has addressed the reasons behind her decision to leave. During an appearance on Channel 5's Vanessa, she explained to host Vanessa Feltz: "When the storylines get so ridiculous and so difficult, you kind of think 'I'm out'". The actress continued: "The reason I left was because the storylines were getting ridiculous. "That was one of the reasons I left. There were several, but that was one of the main reasons. "My husband Masood was going to have yet another affair. "And I was like, 'How can I react any differently [to the] way I reacted before when he told me he was having an affair?" Nina revealed Zainab's initial brief had been "Pauline Fowler, but funny." Having provided levity and comic relief for two years, she was confused to receive a domestic violence storyline. The star continued: "You thought, 'How can I be funny with that storyline? I don't understand.' Celeb Millionaire contestant forced to use lifeline on tricky Shakespeare question - but could you get it right- "I think that's what happens when you have a change at the top, with the execs, they bring in their vision. "Someone who hasn't really been paying attention to what your character's been doing - all of a sudden, you're asked to do something absolutely ridiculous." Nina later added: "That's why I wanted to come out of it for a while. "Hopefully, at some point, they invite me back, it'll be for something more interesting to do." Vanessa pointed out Zainab hadn't been killed off - meaning Nina could potentially return to the soap one day. The actress replied by saying: "They wouldn't kill her off. "I did ask to be killed off because I thought, 'Yay, I'll get a big storyline if I get killed off'. "But they were like, 'No, we want her back someday.' So, who knows?" Among Zainab's most notable storylines was discovering oldest son Syed (Marc Elliot) was secretly gay. EastEnders' 40th anniversary cameos so far With the 40th anniversary of EastEnders coming up, fans are looking forward to some more incredible cameos from iconic faces of Walford's past. But who have we had so far? Tracy-Ann Oberman - Oberman returned as Chrissie Watts, a character she last played nearly two decades ago. Paul Bradley - Bradley returned as Nigel Bates, a character he last played over 25 years ago. Micheal French - French returned as David Wicks, a character he last played two decades ago. Patsy Palmer - Palmer returned as Bianca Jackson, a character she last played in 2019. Ricky Groves - Groves returned as Garry Hobbs, a character who has not been seen since 2009. Cliff Parisi - Parisi returned as Minty Peterson, a character who was last seen on the square in 2010. Ross Kemp - Kemp has returned to play Grant Mitchell, a character he first played in 1990. The BBC has described Kemp's storyline as "explosive". Kemp said it was an "absolute honour" to return to the show. Other aspects of the EastEnders 40th anniversary celebration include: A wedding between fan favorites, A huge explosion at the Queen Vic, and A live interactive episode. Viewers also watched her relationship and family life with Masood Ahmed (Nitin Ganatra), their marriage breakdown, and her abusive relationship with Yusef Khan (Ace Bhatti). Last year, Nina told The Sun about her hopes for Zainab to return for the soap's 40th annviersary. She shared with us: 'I loved that show. I loved my time on it. I know they've got a big anniversary coming up, and I'm waiting for the call.' EastEnders airs on BBC One and iPlayer.

Alongside flaunting her physique, the star also opened up on a huge new milestone in her life. She captioned the snap: "5 months sober & still had a good night dancing! #Sobriety." Advertisement The TV star also told how her changing figure was not down to popular weight loss jabs like Ozempic or Mounjaro. Instead, Lorraine opted for the more traditional gastric sleeve operation. One inquisitive fan on TikTok asked for Lorraine's secret, to which she simply answered back in the comments: "Gastric sleeve." A gastric sleeve is a weight loss procedure that removes a significant portion of the stomach, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped pouch.

Her character's axing was as part of a shock cast shake-up and her final scenes were aired in December of that year. She went onto reprise her fan-favourite role a number of times in 2024 before her last episode hit BBC screens in June. 6 She captured her makeover on Instagram Credit: Instagram / @ Advertisement 6 She has been wowing fans online with her new look Credit: Instagram
