Max George has opened up on the 13-year age gap between him and his girlfriend Maisie Smith.
The Wanted star, 34, went public with the EastEnders actress, 21, in September with the couple seeming inseparable ever since.
Sharing pics of themselves on several sun-kissed holidays, the pair haven't been shy in sharing the affections and have now opened up about their surprise romance.
When asked if their age difference bothers them, Maisie said: "People ask me: 'Do you notice it?' and I never have. We're so like-minded. I've got friends in their 30s and 40s. You connect with who you connect with.
Max added to HELLO! magazine: "It never enters my mind. Maisie has already done so many things that I'm in awe of – I look up to her."
The actress, who stuns in the new pics sporting a bright orange suit, is currently starring as Fran in Strictly Ballroom: The Musical.
Gushing about how supportive Max is, she said: "When I get off a train, Max will be standing on the platform with a bouquet of flowers and I feel like I'm in a movie. It's every girl's dream and I've found it in Max."
Maisie also said dating The Wanted star was the 'best decision' she's made.
Max and Maisie now live together and it may not be too much longer before they purchase their dream home, with the actress saying the couple would like two pads in London and Manchester.
The actress also set tongues wagging on the couple's latest holiday when she appeared to be rocking an engagement ring.
Fans were convinced Max had popped the question as Maisie hugged her beau aboard an open-top bus – sporting a sparkler on her ring finger.
However, it appears the couple are content with their relationship status for now – after all, they've only been officially dating for three months.
Prior to meeting Maisie, Max was in a relationship with actress Michelle Keegan before dating Ryan Giggs' ex, Stacey.
Maisie, meanwhile, was linked to Strictly star HRVY, although the pair insisted they were just friends.
The former EastEnders actress first met Max in 2020 while competing in the same series of the BBC show.
The Wanted star – who was partnered with Dianne Buswell – was one of the first to be eliminated, but Maisie reached the final and finished as a runner-up alongside her professional dance partner Gorka Marquez.
It wasn't until they appeared on the Strictly live tour earlier this year that they started to grow closer, however, and after much speculation, they confirmed their relationship in September.
Max seems to be smitten with Maisie having recently tattooed the star's face on his arm– the art covers an inking of his ex's Stacey Giggs' name.
