Maisie Smith's Long-Distance Heartbreak Amid Max's Health Crisis
12 Feb
Summary
- Maisie Smith finds touring without Max George 'hard' due to distance.
- Max George recently rushed to A&E following pacemaker and lung issues.
- The couple previously starred together in 'The War Of The Worlds' tour.

Actress Maisie Smith, 24, has shared that touring the UK without her partner, Max George, 37, is proving 'hard' due to their long-distance relationship. This sentiment comes as the singer has experienced recent health scares. Max was rushed to A&E on Monday night, February 10, 2026, following complications with his pacemaker. He later revealed he was experiencing issues with a lung.
This latest hospital visit follows a series of health concerns for George. He had a pacemaker fitted in December 2024 after his mother noticed he had turned blue, prompting an emergency room visit. He also underwent a second procedure to correct a misplaced wire. Recently, he shared updates about scans on his chest related to his lungs, noting it was a precaution.
Maisie and Max previously toured together in the stage production of 'The War Of The Worlds' in 2025. While they enjoyed working side-by-side, Maisie noted that being apart during her current tour for 'The Talented Mr Ripley' presents its own set of challenges.
