Max George of The Wanted fame has had to endure time away from his sweetheart, Maisie Smith, as he recovers from heart surgery.The 36-year-old singer was hospitalised for weeks before Christmas when doctors found a heart irregularity.
Post-surgery, with a new pacemaker in place, Max returned home and was lovingly cared for by his girlfriend, actress Maisie Smith, aged 23, who was his rock during the tough times.
However, the couple faces a temporary separation as Maisie must fulfil her acting duties.The former EastEnders actress is currently starring in a pantomime in Canterbury, which runs for several more weeks.This commitment means she'll have to leave Max's side temporarily. "Max's mum decided to move in with him for a bit to make sure he is OK and look after him," an insider disclosed to The Sun. "It's been a really difficult time, and it's just unfortunate that Maisie still has work commitments," reports the Mirror.
As the year 2024 wrapped up, Max took to social media to post a collage of moments from his year, including stage performances, his surgery scar, cosy times with Maisie, and a hospital bed snapshot.
