Kirsten Storms (Maxie Jones, General Hospital) just dropped an incredibly candid update on Instagram—along with a brand-new look. While her character, Maxie, has been missing from the canvas during the massive twist revealing that “Nathan” is actually his twin, Cassius Faison, Storms is dealing with some major real-world shifts.
Key Takeaways
- Kirsten Storms debuted a dramatic new hairstyle.
- She says moving to Tennessee was the right decision despite the challenges.
- Storms reflected on growing up in Hollywood and how acting became the only life she knew.
- She credits becoming a mother and facing health struggles with changing her perspective.
A Fresh Start in Tennessee
Debuting jet-black hair and bangs, Storms opened up about her recent move away from Hollywood. “Despite everything that’s been going on in my life right now… I still feel that the move to Tennessee was the best choice for me,” she shared, adding that while she isn’t at the “best part” of the transition yet, Los Angeles never truly felt like home.
Storms, who started acting before finishing elementary school, reflected on how her career was essentially chosen for her by her parents when they relocated from Florida. While she’s proud of her success and longevity in the industry, she admitted that lifestyle became the only thing she knew.
That perspective completely flipped after having her daughter, Harper, and navigating her well-documented health struggles. “Until I began to understand how precious time is… there was never a thought that my life would ever change,” she wrote.
Kirsten Storms and that New Look
She also briefly addressed personal matters, noting there is an “ongoing situation” with her ex-husband, Brandon Barash, that they are sorting out. Shutting down internet rumors before they could start, she characterized it as a standard disagreement between two divorced co-parents.
“Now that my daughter is of the age where she will Google her name while riding the bus to school, I’m asking that the speculation on this issue please stop,” Storms requested.
Storms previously returned to General Hospital earlier this year for the short-lived, wild storyline where Maxie was reunited with a back-from-the-dead “Nathan,” only for him to be exposed as an imposter. Aside from her iconic run as Maxie, daytime fans also know her from her years as Belle Black on Days of Our Lives.
