- Jemma Mckenzie Brown (2009–2010) – Max met British actress Jemma on the sets of High School Musical 3. They dated for nearly two years before breaking up and going their separate ways. Living in separate countries, the distance was possibly a major issue for drifting them apart.
- Jennette McCurdy (2010–2011) – Max met Jennette on the sets of the Nickelodeon show iCarly in 2010 when he had a guest role on it. The two actors hit it off and were often publicly seen together which set off relationship rumors.

Both actors have never admitted to dating each other and have denied being in a relationship.
- Miranda Cosgrove (2012) – Max also met, the highest paid child actress, Miranda on the sets of iCarly. During a red-carpet interview, he deemed her as his celebrity crush and showed a willingness to pursue a relationship with her if it happened organically. In 2012, the paparazzi spotted them on a date. But, the relationship did not pan out possibly because Max explained that Miranda had a busy schedule and frequently traveled the world to honor her professional commitments.
- Chris Colfer (2012) – There was a widespread rumor that Max was dating Glee star Chris Colfer implying that the actor was bisexual. A fan posted a public query on Max’s Twitter page seeking clarification for the same. Max promptly posted a reply that Chris was merely a good friend.
- Veronica Louise Dunne (2014–2017) – Veronica met Max at a public red-carpet event that she nearly did not go to due to lack of interest. She met Max there and mentioned her background in musical theatre. Max showed immediate interest which was a reaction contrary to what Veronica got from most guys while discussing musical theatre in particular. The two actors bonded over their love for music and eventually started dating in June 2014. They had a very public romance replete with PDA and heartfelt statements for each other on social media. A month after celebrating their 3-year anniversary, Max announced on his Twitter account that he was single without revealing the cause of his break-up. He has since deleted a lot of his pictures with Veronica from his official Instagram account.
- Bella Thorne (2017) – Soon after his break-up, the paparazzi frequently spotted Max with notorious actress Bella Thorne. However, he clarified that their relationship was primarily work-related and they were collaborating on making music together.
