Max George has been busy reinventing himself in L A, since the group parted ways

Max George 26, moved to Los Angeles earlier this year after his boy band parted ways and he's now said to be dating Miss Oklahoma contestant Carrie Baker, who reportedly told friends that "there's no better feeling than being in love", suggesting she's smitten with the star.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Max is pinching himself daily. Not only has he quickly made a name for himself in LA but he gets to come home to one of America's most beautiful women. The Wanted couldn't be further from his mind."

Max - who was previously engaged to British actress Michelle Keegan and has been linked to Lindsay Lohan - impressed his potential mother-in-law to be Sharon by inviting her to join him and her daughter on a luxurious spa getaway in California ahead of Carrie's 23rd birthday.

On the big day itself he posted a picture of his new girlfriend and a pal enjoying birthday drinks in the sun, alongside the caption: "Happy birthday gorgeous girl! Carrieallisonbaker xox (sic)."

Meanwhile, the 'Glad You Came' hitmaker - who recently landed a role in hit series 'Glee' - has also had an image overhaul by swapping his shaved head for a mop of curly brown hair.
