Max Gave Kelsey A Very Special Gift To Make Their Relationship Siesta Key Official

Kelsey and her boyfriend Max are going strong, and the two just marked a big relationship step while in tonight's Siesta Key episode.


Soon after an entire year of long-distance love, Max made the move to the Key and became Florida official. While this wasn't Kelsey's first out-of-state dating rodeo (y'all may recall Jacob from Arizona circa Season 2), tonight's episode saw her elated to be reunited with her beau, who'll be crashing at her new condo for several weeks when he gets settled in Sarasota. Throughout a convo with Madisson, Kelsey revealed that Max was initially all about setting up home with each other — nevertheless she wasn't quite ready.


"He naturally was like, 'I'll move in, let's save cash Yet I think it'll be good to have each year where we're not living together," she mentioned. "And I think it'll be good for me in the sense that, like, he's very drama-free, and I think he'll have the ability to keep my mind busy and out all of the Juliette crap."


Shortly immediately following the Kentucky native touched down in the Sunshine State and was reunited with his ladylove, Max asked Kelsey to close her eyes.


"You have a surprise for me? I feel like a puppy's going to pop out or something," she said.


"It isn't a puppy, nevertheless it's close," Max declared. "It's a baby crested gecko! It's red, just like Valentine's Day!"


Cue Kelsey (and pretty much each person watching): "Seriously?!"


Oh, he also got himself a red gecko, also. While a pair of twinning lizards is no Span Rover (hey, Juliette), the gesture is pretty adorable, as Max is a major animal activist. It's a passion that's surely rubbed off on Kels just a little. Maybe?


Kelsey's relationship with the adventurous animal lover is definitely a far cry from her roller coaster romance with Garrett (who has also happily moved on with Makenna).
