Maisie Smith gives new boyfriend Max George a kiss on his birthday as romance heats up

Maisie Smith has been spotted planting a kiss on the lips of her new boyfriend Max George days after going Instagram official.

The young EastEnders star, 21, is in the beginning stages of a whirlwind relationship with The Wanted singer, 34, after they reportedly bonded over their Strictly appearances.

Max is celebrating his birthday today and Maisie appears to have treated him to an evening out to celebrate on Monday.

She took to her Instagram Story to wish him a happy birthday writing: “Happy birthday @maxgeorge,” with a heart hands emoji, alongside a selfie of them kissing.

The romance between the new couple has been hotting up in recent weeks and they were even spotted kissing and cuddling whilst shopping for home essentials – fuelling rumours that they've already moved in together.

After weeks of rumours, the pair confirmed their romance on their Instagram accounts this weekend.

Sharing a promotional shot from Celebrity SAS, which began Sunday night, on his Instagram story Max wrote: "You're my winner already," followed by a love heart.

Maisie also has added Max's name to her Instagram bio, followed by a love heart. She also shared Max's original cute post.

The duo met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020 when Maisie was partnered up with Kevin Clifton and Max was partnered up with Dianne Buswell.

They reportedly grew closer during the Strictly live tour at the beginning of this year.

The EastEnders actress wasn't supposed to be taking part in the tour but stepped in last-minute to replace TV presenter AJ Odudu, who had suffered an ankle injury.

However, it wasn't until August that rumours began swirling about the status of their relationship.

Earlier this year, Max split from Stacey Giggs after the pair rekindled their romance in April following Tom Parker's death.

And it looks like Max swiftly moved on with the soap actress and jetted off to Crete, Greece, to enjoy some time in the sun with her.

Passengers on the same flight as Maisie and Max told The Sun that the duo were 'all over each other' on the plane as they were spotted on a flight in August.

A person told the publication: "They looked like a very loved-up couple — they were all over each other for the entire four-hour flight.

"Snogging and giggling like any new couple."

And a source is said of the pair, who also reportedly headed on a holiday to Portugal together recently: "This isn’t a flash in the pan.

"Max has told people that he is falling in love with Maisie."
