Professor Green has shared an insight into the exchange he had with his ex-wife Millie Mackintosh after they made amends following their bitter split.

The rapper, 42, and the former Made In Chelsea star, 36, are now on good terms and reconnected when she released her book 'Bad Drunk', about turning to sobriety.

The former couple also had also been told they have ADHD following their break-up and bonded over the fact they received later in life diagnoses.

Sharing details of their exchange, Professor Green told the Sun: 'We [me and Millie] 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 and it was a really respectful thing to do.

'It was very cordial, it was over email.

'We laughed a little bit going "you're ADHD… me too".'

The former couple ended their three-year marriage in 2016, and Pro Green confirmed last year that they were back on speaking terms after nine years of silence.

Professor Green – whose real name is Stephen Manderson – and Millie's email exchange took place before her split from second husband Hugo Taylor.

The couple announced in February that they were going their separate ways after seven years of marriage and two children together.

Millie is a mother to her daughters Sienna, five, and Aurelia, four, with Hugo, while Pro Green co-parents son Slimane, five, with actress Karima McAdams.

The rapper revealed in October he was back in touch with ex-wife during a candid podcast interview with her close friend and former Made In Chelsea co-star Jamie Laing for his Great Company podcast.

He explained that he and Millie both 'trauma bonded' together over their previously undiagnosed ADHD.

He said: 'There was undiagnosed neurodivergence between both of us. We had a conversation about this recently, and it makes sense.

'I don't feel uncomfortable about these things anymore, but I felt uncomfortable for a huge part of my life.'

He added: 'If there wasn't that pressure, we may have never got married. 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.

'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 per cent 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.'

He also called his ex-wife 'beautiful' as he added: 'There's no resentment in me. She is gorgeous. 

'We were not good for each other at that time.' 

Following his admissions, Millie shared a pointed remark on her Instagram platform, re-posting a quote that read: 'There's only one thing more precious than our time...  And it's who we spend it on.'

The former couple finalised their divorce in May 2016, the same week that she chose to go public with her now ex-husband Hugo.

Following their separation, Professor Green appeared to take a swipe at his ex-wife in the lyrics to 2016 single, Eye On The Door.

Lamenting an apparent lack of action between the sheets in the opening verse, the rapper suggests he and Millie spent most of their time watching box sets.

He also suggested she regularly kicked him out of the marital home in south-east London and would only allow him back in if he returned with a gift of material significance.

He raps: 'Me an the Mrs we are getting along/Till I do something wrong – then it's another domestic/People wanna know what my life's like.

'Behind closed doors what's my wife like/It gets crazy in bed – We watch a couple episodes/Of a box set and and then it's night night/When she hears this s*** it's lights out/I'll probably get kicked out of my house/Till I come back with a brand new Chanel bag.'

A second verse finds Pro Green's protagonist wrestling with his conscience; on the one hand fretting about divorce, while on the other putting his wife's feelings to one side while he parties with pals.

Referring to his use of drugs, he raps: 'One minute it was one, the next it was six/S*** I'm dead – I don't know where the time went.

'Where's my phone? S*** sixty-one missed calls/A divorce is on the cards if I don't split/And get my a*** in gear – I'm asking for it.

'A b****rd ain't I – auf wiedersehen/Better get my a*** in gear and get a car quick though, if I'm already gonna get my a*** kicked?

'A b****rd ain't I  auf wiedersehen/Better get my a*** in gear and get a car quick though, if I'm already gonna get my a*** kicked?

'Then pass it/What's one more half, what's one more spliff/What's one more glass/What's one more line, what's one more toke/I'm already a dead man when I get home.'

Speaking on Brogan Garrit-Smith's podcast Getting There last year, Millie said she went through 'a really hard time' when she divorced.

'I think we [Professor Green] both were in our own struggles, and I think we maybe both thought we could fix each other,' she reflected of her marriage. 'But we couldn't.'

'And ultimately, we both had our own struggles, and it just magnified it. And it was actually quite toxic.'

Professor Green, who signed up for E4's Celebs Go Dating in a bid to find love again, said he often jumped head first into relationships because it was 'passionate' and 'intense' but then later became 'resentful'.

After Millie, he had a relationship with actress Karima McAdams before they split in 2023.
