Is Maisie Smith Dating EastEnders Co-Star Zack Morris In 2021?
An on-screen match-up of EastEnders, Smith, and Morris soon became a fan-favorite, and probably many would want them to be more than co-stars & friends. The 19-year old Essex native is the TV wife of Morris' character Keegan Baker, and the aroma of their chemistry can be seen off-screen as well.
Such connection has led them with showers of frequent queries if they are dating actually, but the stars opted to introduce them as mates.
In August 2021, the One Night actor joined Maisie's family at a golf restaurant in Essex, which as per fans, was the first step of the transition to their serious relationship. The English actor reportedly was eased as he played golf with the actress' family and later sat for a drink- he had his arm around the back of Maisie's chair.

"At the end of the night, Maisie and Zack went into the same toilet cubicle. He came out a little later. Not long after, Maisie appeared. It seems they’re into one another but are trying to keep it quiet."
But, a close source to the family told that they simply went to the toilet (unisex) to wash their hands, while Zack confirmed, "Maisie and I are just good friends."
Despite the denials, fans are taking a hard time buying those, rather believe the two are dating secretly. All now left is the future itself reveal if it's a secret truth or rumors only !!
