“Although this is a huge shock and no doubt a setback, it’s something I’ll take on with all I’ve got,” he said. George added: “Apologies if I bore you with updates in the coming weeks… I’ve probably got a month in a bed, and there’s not THAT much to do! “Let’s do this! Much love. Max x.”
Max George Hospitalized, Expects Difficult Weeks/Month Ahead
According to the singer, he expects the weeks and months ahead to be “difficult,” even if they might be few. Although “Christmas in a hospital bed” wasn’t exactly what he had planned for the holidays, George admitted that he was “surrounded with love and support” from his “wonderful” partner, actress Maisie Smith, and his family and friends.
“I count myself very lucky that this was caught when it was,” he said. His fellow bandmate Siva Kaneswaran supported George’s social media post, commenting: “Here for you, brother. Rest up and get well soon.”
JLS stars Marvin Humes and JB Gill also commented, with Humes urging George to stay “strong” and “fight through” and Gill writing he was “wishing you better soon.”
What Is Max George Doing Now?
Max George gained popularity as part of The Wanted in the early 2010s with bandmates Kaneswaran, Nathan Sykes, Jay McGuiness, and Tom Parker.
The group announced a break in 2014 before George and Kaneswaran relaunched the group as a duo in 2022. Parker passed away from brain cancer at the age of 33 in March 2022.
Max George’s being hospitalized will throw him out of action for some time, but not for long. The singer is still actively involved in music as a singer and has been working on new music and performances.
George has also been participating in various television shows and has appeared on reality TV and talk shows, contributing to his public profile.
How Max George’s Girlfriend Reacted to News of His Hospitalization
After news of Max George being hospitalized spread, his girlfriend of two years, former “Strictly Come Dancing” star Maisie Smith, took to social media to show her support. “Love you, Max,” the former soap star wrote. Maisie and Max competed in “Strictly Come Dancing” in 2020 and became good friends on the show.
In the summer of 2022, their relationship evolved into a romantic one, and they moved in together in 2023. Maisie moved to Manchester from Essex to be with Max, after which they started renovating their home together.
The pair have a 13-year age gap, but that barely matters to them without paying attention to any criticism surrounding it. Maisie defended their relationship in February: “If it wasn’t that, it would be something else,” she said.
“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’s actually been working longer than Max!”

“I think that just puts it into perspective. I really don’t care what a random person thinks of my relationship when everyone I do care about is incredibly supportive,” the actress continued. Maisie also added that she has spent enough time in showbiz to know that thick skin is necessary to survive, and she thinks she has that.
