Max Boyens revealed a startling secret during the May 5 episode of Vanderpump Rules, when he finally confessed to Dayna Kathan that he still has feelings for her. The only problem? She’s currently dating his buddy, Brett Caprioni. After Stassi Schroeder teased Dayna about her “love triangle” at the beach, and Max told Brett that he didn’t love the fact that he’s now dating his ex, Dayna, the former lovers reunited when Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix hosted a dinner party. Following the meal, Max asked Dayna to go outside with him, during which he told her, “I’m not really good at expressing the way that I feel, so I’m going to fidget a little bit. But I feel a little weird about seeing you and Brett.”
“I’m not here to tell you, ‘Do not do this.’ I’m not ever going to do that to you. What I’m saying is that I clearly have feelings still,” Max continued, but Dayna had a hard time believing what he was saying. “The next shiny thing is going to come along, and I’m going to be in your rearview mirror in two seconds,” she told him. Max said he “didn’t think that’s true, though,” before adding that despite his womanizing past, “I’ve never moved forward [with someone] like I did with you.”
So why did they break up then? “It scares the s*** out of me having feelings like that for somebody,” Max told Dayna. He said he was afraid of falling in love and then having everything “go south”. She thought his admission was “interesting”, and she also said during her confessional that she’s “never stopped caring for Max. So to hear him say that he likes me — I think part of the reason that he’s saying that is because Brett is in the picture, and part of the reason is he does really care about me, but it makes me feel really confused.”
