A decade after their acrimonious split rocked the celebrity world, Millie Mackintosh and Professor Green have revealed they've not only buried the hatchet but developed a genuine friendship built on mutual respect and shared experiences.
From Turbulent Split to Peaceful Co-Parenting
The former couple, whose 2016 divorce was marred by rumours of infidelity and public spats, have undergone a remarkable transformation in their relationship. Speaking candidly about their journey, both have acknowledged the healing power of time and personal growth.
"We've both evolved so much since those difficult years," Millie explained. "What seemed like insurmountable differences then have been replaced by understanding and a shared commitment to moving forward positively."
The Bond of Parenthood and Sobriety
Central to their reconciliation has been their parallel journeys into parenthood and sobriety. Millie, now mother to two daughters with husband Hugo Taylor, and Professor Green, who welcomed his first child with fiancée Karima McAdams, have found common ground in their parenting experiences.
"Becoming parents changes your perspective on everything," Professor Green noted. "The pettiness of past disagreements fades when you're focused on creating a positive environment for your children."
Overcoming Past Hurts
Their divorce proceedings were anything but amicable, with Professor Green's 2016 diss track 'Poison' widely interpreted as targeting Millie. The lyrics hinted at betrayal and emotional turmoil, creating a public narrative of a relationship gone terribly wrong.
Yet both have worked privately to move beyond the bitterness. "We've had honest conversations about the past without dwelling on blame," Millie shared. "It's been liberating to release that negative energy."
A Mature Friendship Forged in London
The London-based celebrities now maintain what they describe as a "warm, respectful relationship" that occasionally includes family gatherings where all partners interact comfortably.
"It's about maturity and recognising that our history doesn't have to define our future," Professor Green reflected. "We shared important years together, and there's value in honouring that while embracing our new chapters."
