Professor Green Opens Up About Grief, Health Battles, and Reconciling with Ex-Wife Millie Mackintosh Professor Green shares emotional struggles over past relationship, health challenges, and reconnecting with ex-wife Millie Mackintosh on Celebs Go Dating and social media. Professor Green, the 42-year-old rapper and singer, opened up about his emotional struggles on the latest episode of Celebs Go Dating, revealing that he is still grieving the loss of his relationship with his ex-fiancée Karima McAdamson, two years after their split. The father of five-year-old son Slimane, whom he shares with Karima, admitted to the show's professionals that he feels unprepared to date again, expressing feelings of guilt and confusion, particularly regarding the impact on their son. He said, 'Hands up, I'm being completely honest. I don't know if I'm even ready to date. There's going to be feelings of guilt around all of this.I am still grieving the loss of my relationship and not just for me. For our family and for our son. For those feelings of confusion that are impacting him, which feel a hell of a lot.' The couple got engaged in 2021, just seven months after the birth of their son, but their relationship ultimately ended in 2024. A source close to the situation told The Sun that while both Professor Green and Karima are devoted parents, their romantic relationship had run its course. The source added, 'Stephen is focusing on his music and building the best life he can for their son Slimane.' In addition to his emotional struggles, Professor Green has also been candid about his health battles. He recently revealed that he is battling a benign tumour behind his eye and three on his spine, alongside a rare condition called Schwannomatosis, which causes multiple benign tumours and can lead to chronic pain and neurological issues.The singer shared that he had undergone procedures to remove painful growths from his head and neck, only to discover more tumours in other parts of his body. He wrote on Instagram, 'After four relatively superficial but painful growths were removed from my head and neck, I’ve now found out I have one behind my left eye and three along my spine: two smaller lesions at t5 and t6, and one the size of a blemmin’ lime around my s2 nerve.' Despite the challenges, Professor Green has found a sense of acceptance, stating, 'I’ve come to a place of acceptance - this is how i’ll experience life, there’s no way around it, and that’s okay. What isn’t okay is descending into cyclical thought, nor is catastrophising or dreaming of some other reality - both are avoidance and neither conducive to being present.' His openness about his health struggles has resonated with fans, many of whom have praised his honesty and resilience. Meanwhile, Professor Green has also spoken about reconnecting with his ex-wife, Millie Mackintosh, after years of estrangement. The former couple, who ended their three-year marriage in 2016, have since mended their relationship and bonded over shared experiences, including their late-in-life ADHD diagnoses.He told The Sun, 'We spoke when she was releasing a book about her being sober and we spoke around that because I was mentioned in the book and she just wanted me to know that it was coming out. It was very cordial, it was over email. We laughed a little bit going, 'You're ADHD… me too.' Their reconciliation has been a source of positivity for both, with Professor Green emphasizing the importance of moving forward with mutual respect and understanding
