Millie Mackintosh opens up about her marriage to Professor Green

Former reality star Millie Mackintosh has revealed that she struggles to understand what her husband, Professor Green, went through growing up but noted that it did not affect their relationship. 

The 26-year-old opened up about the in's and out's of her marriage to the rapper, whose real name is Stephen Manderson, in a revealing interview for Cosmopoliton. 

"We are from different backgrounds and I can never pretend that I understand what he’s been through in his life, but it’s ridiculous to think that people from different backgrounds can’t be together."

The pretty pair, who married in 2013, did have quite opposite childhoods. While Millie's family ran a highly successful confectionery company, Stephen came from a troubled background. 

But don't call the former Made in Chelsea star privileged. 

"I’m proud of my family’s history but I’m not an heiress, and I won’t stop correcting people because, while I had an amazing upbringing I haven’t been given my business and there was never an option to be supported through life."

While the couple have been plagued with split rumours pretty much since the big day, Millie revealed that they have both learned to leave all that at the front door. 

"When we’re at home I’m Camilla Manderson and he’s Stephen Manderson."

"We leave our work personas outside the house. When we’re here, we are just us."
