Singaporean Olympic bronze medallist Max Maeder is taken.
In an interview with 8world, the 18-year-old excitedly revealed that he “recently got a girlfriend” and that he “chased her for a month.”
In a world where celebs can be incredulously private about their personal lives (yes, Loh Kean Yew, we are talking about you), Max’s revelation is refreshing.
Confirming that she is Singaporean and that they met in the gym, Max, who is based in Croatia, however turned tight-lipped when pressed for more info on her identity.
“I will have to ask her if I can reveal who she is,” he says, before adding that he “hasn’t discussed it with her”.
How considerate. Can Max be even more of a gentleman than he already is?
Shyly revealing that it is his second relationship, his face brightens up when talking about his, girlfriend and says that she is “very cheerful and understands all his jokes”.
Aww… the innocence of teenage love.
Also, we wonder what his parents, Valentin and Hwee Keng Maeder, think about the new lady in Max’s life.
Netizens took to the comments with many praising Max for respecting his girlfriend’s privacy.
One even jokingly asked “I wonder what jokes he makes?”
