DC Talk cofounder Kevin Max Smith, known professionally as Kevin Max, appears to have divorced and remarried, according to social media activity.
Although Kevin Max maintains a prominent public persona on stage and online, he has generally kept his personal life private, including details surrounding his marriages and divorces. He divorced Alayna Bennett in 2003 after only a few years of marriage before marrying Amanda Lynn MacDonald in 2005. According to Candace Thompson‘s Facebook page, she and Kevin Max were married sometime in 2026.
Kevin Max, 58, last posted about his now ex-wife Amanda on Sept. 3, 2024, expressing his love for her as he celebrated her finishing up her nursing degree.
“I love this woman, she’s into the full swing of finishing her nursing degree and wants to go for a master’s in psychology,” Kevin Max wrote. “The way she studies all day, drives herself to school at 44 and still has time to be the best mother on the face of the planet….She is the ultimate and hates social media but I just thought I’d throw this to the Universe.” He added, “I love you Amanda Max, the whole family believes in you…our 4 kids, your husband & a host of others. You already have this.”
