Former EastEnders actress Maisie Smith has spoken candidly about the emotional rollercoaster of supporting her boyfriend, The Wanted star Max George, through his recent heart surgery, revealing that the challenging experience has brought them closer than ever.
Facing Health Challenges Together
The 27-year-old singer underwent a serious heart operation earlier this year, and Smith has now opened up about the difficult days they faced during his recovery. "There are hard days," the 23-year-old actress admitted, highlighting the emotional toll the health scare took on both of them.
Despite the challenges, Smith revealed that the experience has strengthened their bond significantly. "We're closer than ever," she shared, emphasising how facing adversity together has deepened their connection.
A Relationship Forged Through Adversity
The couple, who confirmed their relationship in 2023 after meeting on the set of Strictly Come Dancing in 2020, have faced their fair share of challenges in the public eye. George's health issues added another layer to their journey together, testing their relationship in ways they never anticipated.
Smith described how seeing her partner go through such a serious medical procedure made her appreciate their time together even more. The Tiffany Butcher actress has been a constant source of support for George throughout his recovery process.
Life After Surgery
While George has been open about his surgery on social media, sharing updates with concerned fans, this marks the first time Smith has discussed the emotional impact in detail. The couple have been navigating his recovery while maintaining their busy careers in the entertainment industry.
Their experience serves as a poignant reminder of how health challenges can affect even the strongest relationships, and how facing them together can ultimately bring partners closer.
