Max George, 35, treats girlfriend Maisie Smith, 22, to a candlelit dinner on the beach in Dubai for Valentine’s Day but fans say ‘she must have thought you were going to propose’

Max George treated Maisie Smith to a candlelit dinner on the beach in Dubai on Valentine’s Day, with fans saying it ‘would have been the perfect proposal’.

The Wanted singer, 35, pulled out all the stops for the actress, 22, with red roses, candles, a saxophonist and Christmas lights for the al fresco meal.

Maisie looked stunning in a light blue backless dress, which she paired with red love heart earrings and a blush lip.

The couple shared several snaps from their evening via Instagram, alongside a video of Maisie walking along the beach to the romantic setting.

Maisie captioned her post: ‘Season of love’ while Max wrote: ‘Happy Valentine’s Day my beautiful girl…. I love you to the moon and back.”

But fans think the actress could have been disappointed as the setting was so romantic it could have been the perfect place for a proposal.

Followers wrote in the comments section: ‘Poor girl, she saw that and MUST have thought you were going to suggest what a lovely way to spend Valentine’s Day.’

“This is the perfect proposal that my hopes would have been,” to which someone else responded: “I was thinking the exact same thing!”

“Oh well, I thought you were going to propose in such a romantic setting” and “How are you guys not engaged yet, I don’t know.”

Earlier in the day, Maisie shared a photo of Max posing in an ‘I heart my girlfriend’ T-shirt.

The T-shirt refers to the time when Tom Hiddleston was in a relationship with Taylor Swift in 2016, where he wore an I heart TS T-shirt.

Max and Maisie’s romance grew out of a two-year friendship when they met on the 2020 series Strictly Come Dancing, and they officially got together in the summer of 2022.

Max and Maisie moved in together at the start of last year, with the former EastEnders star’s mum Julia sharing a glimpse of her move out of the family home at the time.

Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Maisie spoke of her excitement about life with Max and dismissed concerns about their 13-year age difference.

She said, “If that wasn’t the case, it would be something else. People don’t understand what goes on behind closed doors in a relationship, and I think they also forget that I’m a consenting 21 year old woman who has actually been working longer than Max!

‘I don’t notice the age difference and neither do my friends and family. My mother Julia is the one who reads all the comments.

‘Yesterday I got a message from her saying: ‘Ignore them, you were made for each other.’
