Maisie Smith’s mum proves things are getting serious with Max George as she gives The Wanted star her seal of approval
MAX George seems to have got the seal of approval from rumoured love interest Maisie Smith’s mum after she followed him on Instagram.
The celebrity agent, who manages daughter Maisie’s career, hit the follow button on Max’s profile in recent weeks - sparking rumours things are serious between the pair.
It’s thought that Julia followed Max after she visited Maisie on a number of the dates of the recent Strictly Come Dancing: Keep Dancing tour - which is where Max and Maisie are said to have grown closer.
The mother and daughter share an extremely close bond, with Julia regularly appearing in Maisie's TikTok videos.
Her sister Scarlett is yet to follow Max on social media.
The Sun Online recently revealed the pair were dating after being spotted on a plane ahead of a romantic holiday.

Their secret romance emerged as EastEnders’ Maisie, 21, and Wanted singer Max, 33, flew to Crete.
An onlooker told us: "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."
Meanwhile, a source said of the loved-up couple: "This isn’t a flash in the pan.
"Max has told people that he is falling in love with Maisie."

The couple reportedly grew increasingly close on the Strictly live tours.
It also comes after Max split for a second time from Ryan Giggs’ ex-wife Stacey.
Speaking about the couple - who began dating in 2018 - a source said: "This will be a bitter pill for Stacey to swallow.
"Max and Stacey were together for years and to see him move on so quickly with another woman will break her heart. She was always fearful of the Strictly curse and now it’s struck – it’s like everything she feared has come true.
"Maisie and Max say they started dating only after he and Stacey broke up in June. They have told their friends, 'It’s love'."
Max, whose hits with The Wanted include All Time Low, was kicked off 2020’s Strictly after losing to Maisie in a dance-off.
