Singer Max George has been forced to spend time apart from his girlfriend Maisie Smith as he recovers from his heart surgery. The Wanted star, 36, spent weeks in hospital just before Christmas after doctors discovered an irregularity with his heart. He had a pacemaker fitted and after the successful surgery, he was finally able to return home. Max was nursed by his actress girlfriend Maisie, 23, as she stuck by his side throughout the ordeal.
However, Max is set to suffer a setback as Maisie has to continue her work commitments. The former EastEnders star is working in a pantomime in Canterbury, which still has a few more weeks left. It means she will have to part from Max's side for a while. "Max's mum decided to move in with him for a bit to make sure he is OK and look after him," a source told the Sun.
"It's been a really difficult time, and it's just unfortunate that Maisie still has work commitments." As 2024 came to an end, Max posted a series of photos from the year that included him performing on stage, his surgery scar, cuddles with girlfriend Maisie and a snap from his hospital bed.
Alongside the images, Max emotionally shared: "2024.. Certainly a year I won’t forget! So lucky to have the life that I have. I can’t wait for the next chapter, no matter what challenges lie ahead. I wish everyone an amazing night tonight.. and that 2025 brings you good health and the best year!".
While in hospital, Max told fans he had a 'block' in his heart and said his operation took around 2 and a half hours. He shared a photo that showed a scar on his collarbone, with it located just below a tattoo of his late bandmate Tom Parker's date of birth. Sharing the news of his pacemaker last month, Max wrote: "Say hello to my little friend! Given the last 10 days, this is the best Christmas present I could have ever wished for. Pacemaker is in.
