Maisie Smith wrapped up warm in a black raincoat on Friday as she was spotted for the first time since her boyfriend Max George revealed he had been admitted to hospital with a heart condition.
The actress, 23, who has been dating The Wanted, 36, since 2022, appeared in good spirits as she was pictured leaving the Marlowe Theater in Canterbury.
She wore a gray sweatshirt and matching sweatpants as she strolled down the street with a shopping bag in her hand.
Maisie is further equipped with a thick green scarf, a red baseball cap and a pair of matching red gloves.
To complete her look, she wore a pair of chunky white sneakers and sported an impeccable makeup palette consisting of a rose-red lip.
Her outing comes after her partner Max revealed on Thursday that he is in hospital with a heart condition and explained that he will have to undergo surgery over the holidays.

The actress, 23, who has been dating The Wanted, 36, since 2022, was pictured leaving the Marlowe Theater in Canterbury.
The singer, who has previously battled alcoholism, admitted he was ‘very lucky this was caught when it was’ as he shared the shocking health scare.
Max has not disclosed which condition he suffers from.
He wrote: ‘Hey everyone, Yesterday I felt very unwell and was taken to hospital. Unfortunately, after some tests they discovered that I have problems with my heart.’
‘I have many more tests to determine the extent of the problems and what surgery I will need to get back on my feet.’
‘It’s going to be a tough few weeks/months… and Christmas in a hospital bed wasn’t exactly what I had planned! But as always, I am surrounded with love and support by my wonderful partner Maisie [Smith]her family, my family and friends… and I am 100% in the best place.”
‘While this is a huge shock and undoubtedly a setback, it is something I will face with everything I have! I consider myself very fortunate that this was picked up when it happened.”
‘Apologies if I bore you with updates in the coming weeks. I’ve probably been in bed for a month and there’s not much to do!’
‘Let’s do this! Lots of love, Max x’

Shortly after his announcement, Max posted a light-hearted joke from his hospital bed about Manchester City’s defeat in Wednesday night’s football match.
As he lay in bed with a heart monitor on his chest, he joked: “So I think they’re officially trying to kill me… come on guys.”
Max has been open about his battle with binge drinking and alcoholism over the years, previously admitting to drinking ‘ten pints and three bottles of wine in one night’.
Last year, the singer revealed he turned to alcohol to adapt to the spotlight and ease his anxiety during his “all-time low.”
He referred to an incident where he drank ten pints and three bottles of wine in one evening while celebrating his birthday.
The binge contained approximately 38 units of alcohol. The NHS recommends that men and women consume no more than 14 units per week.
Speaking about his drinking on Channel 4’s Scared Of The Dark, he said: ‘I would always get bullied before we performed. I had trouble adjusting, so I drank to make myself feel like it wasn’t bothering me.’

“It’s sometimes quite difficult to distinguish between anxiety and depression, but mine was definitely more the anxiety side that started when the boys went number one with All Time Low.”
Referring to his birthday binge session, he confessed: “I was sick for a week. The doctor looked at my liver and said my liver count was quite low, I don’t mess with my liver. So I stopped.’
Max has been in a relationship with EastEnders star Maisie since 2022.
The pair would play a married couple in Jeff Wayne’s musical version of The War Of The Worlds, which will tour in 2025.
The year after appearing on Strictly, Max was invited on the dancing show’s national tour, where he struck up a romance with co-star Maisie.
In 2022, he was forced to defend their thirteen-year age difference Hello! ‘It never crosses my mind. Maisie has done so many things that I’m in awe of – I look up to her.’
Max and Siva Kaneswaran reformed the group earlier this year, ten years after the boy band split.
After Jay McGuiness and Nathan Sykes opted out, Max and Siva joined forces as a duo in April and embarked on a tour as the Wanted 2.0.
The Wanted released a statement in January 2014 to announce that they were taking a hiatus to “pursue personal endeavors.”
