‘He’s off the market now’: Olympic bronze medallist Max Maeder reveals S’porean girlfriend, met at gym

18-year-old Olympian Max Maeder reveals he has Singaporean girlfriend he met at gym

Singapore’s Olympic bronze medallist, Max Maeder, is officially taken!

In an interview with 8world posted on its TikTok account on 19 Oct, the 18-year-old kitefoiling sensation revealed that he recently started dating a Singaporean girl, whom he met at the gym.

Maeder has been having an amazing year ever since he snagged his Olympic medal in August. He recently hit the headlines for coming up tops at the Formula Kite Youth European Championships in Sardinia, Italy.

‘Chased her for a month’

“I just got a girlfriend,” the young athlete said with a grin in response to the reporter’s question.

Maeder, who’s currently based in Croatia, shared that it took him a month of pursuit to win her over.

Although he was quick to confirm that his girlfriend is Singaporean, Maeder remained coy when asked for more details about her identity.

When asked if she’s a fellow athlete, he replied, “I need to ask her if I can share that”, adding that they have not discussed what they can disclose.

Maeder also mentioned that this is his second relationship and described his girlfriend as “very cheerful” with a great sense of humour, as she “understands all my jokes”.

A photograph of the couple posing in front of Universal Studios Singapore was shown in the interview, though his girlfriend’s face was blurred to protect her identity.
