Ex-EastEnders star Maisie Smith has lifted the lid on her plans to marry boyfriend Max George as her mum insisted that she is ‘too young’ right now.
The 23-year-old actress has been dating former The Wanted star since 2022, and their relationship has gone from strength-to-strength.
Maisie and Max, who have a 13-year age gap, live together in Manchester – but it seems the pair are in no rush to take their romance to the next level just yet.
Max, 36, recently underwent life-saving heart surgery, where he had a pacemaker fitted.
Despite the huge operation, Maisie has admitted they are keen to just take things slowly.
She told The Sun on Sunday: ‘I’m still a baby!

‘We have so much time – we have got the whole world, a whole life.
‘Now Max is getting better and stronger and fitter. And we are ready to start an exciting next chapter of our time together.’
Maisie revealed that the op has made the couple realise that they both want to be more impulsive, have fun, travel the world, see new things and to make friends.
She explained how they are in the mindset of enjoying right now and making the most of every minute.
In December, Max was fitted with a pacemaker after his mum Babs realised he had ‘turned blue’ and pushed for him to go to A&E.
He feared he would die, so at the time wrote out a will in his phone.
Max, who has been sober for over four years after previous liver issues, reflected on his journey after the op.
The Wanted singer explained that alcohol wasn’t a factor in his condition, saying he gave up drinking after doctors flagged concerns about his liver following years of heavy partying on tour.

In an Instagram post, Max shared some adorable snaps of him and his partner cuddled up on the sofa.
