Professor Green admitted he ‘very nearly’ called off his wedding to Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh, with him insisting there’s ‘no resentment’ between the two
Professor Green admitted he ‘very nearly’ cancelled his wedding to Millie Mackintosh as they both felt ‘pressured’ to get married. The 41-year-old musician and the Made in Chelsea star tied the knot at Babington House in Somerset in 2013, but the two went their separate ways three years later.
Their split was seemingly quite bitter at the time, with both stars taking swipes at each other on social media after splitting up. The former couple have both since moved on and had children with other people, with Professor Green now dating actress Karima McAdams.
In a recent appearance on a podcast, the musician admitted he almost called off the wedding to Millie.

Speaking on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, he said: “There’s so no resentment. She is gorgeous, we were not good for each other at that time. We were at a point. Things we didn’t understand were happening and it was way more than we could have ever dealt with.”
When asked about his divorce, he explained: “It was really tough. If there was never that pressure, we would have never got married, that’s the truth. It very nearly didn’t happen.
“I remember having a conversation with my two best mates, Lewis and Phoenix. Am I getting cold feet? What’s going on here? And one of them said yes. One of them said, No. I won’t put him in it, because it’s not their responsibility.”
He continued: “I made my own decision. We made our decision, and we didn’t get married for the wrong reasons. We loved each other. It was probably an element of trauma bonding.
“And it takes a lot to get to a place of going, ‘I had a significant part in that, 50% at least, because there were two of us in the situation, and it didn’t work out.’ But hopefully we can both go forward and find happiness and belonging.”
Earlier this year, Millie opened up about their marriage on the Getting There podcast. She told host Brogan Garrit-Smith that she had been “super young” when she married Professor Green in her early twenties and suggested that she had been “a mess” around that time.
Asked about going through a divorce in the public eye, guest Millie said: “I was incredibly anxious. I was barely eating. I was medicating with Xanax.
“I was … yeah, not well. And just … whenever the feelings would come up, I just remember just taking another pill. […] It was a really hard time.”
She added: “I think we both were in our own struggles and I think we maybe both thought we could like fix each other. But we couldn’t. And ultimately, we both had our own struggles, and it just magnified it. And it was actually quite toxic.”
