Professor Green Opens Up About Health and Dating on Celebs Go Dating

In a candid moment on Celebs Go Dating, Professor Green opened up about his struggle with schwannomatosis, a rare condition that has led to painful tumors on his nerves. This revelation comes as he navigates the complexities of dating in the public eye.

“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,” he shared. His journey has not been easy; he has had four tumors removed from his head and neck, with more discovered along his spine. One tumor was even described as being the size of a lime.

Throughout his dating life, Professor Green has had several high-profile relationships. He was married to Millie Mackintosh from 2013 to 2016 and later dated Fae Williams and Karima McAdams, with whom he welcomed a son named Slimane Ray in 2021. His recent participation in the reality show adds another layer to his already public life.

Key relationships:

• 2010: Began dating Candy McCulloch
• 2011: Started dating Millie Mackintosh
• 2013: Married Millie Mackintosh
• 2016: Divorced Millie Mackintosh
• 2016: Dated Fae Williams
• 2019: Started dating Karima McAdams
• 2021: Welcomed son Slimane Ray with Karima McAdams
• 2024: Reports emerged of split from Karima McAdams

As he continues on the show, he reflects on the mental challenges of both dating and living with a chronic health condition. “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,” he explained.

The public watches closely as Professor Green seeks love while managing his health. His openness about schwannomatosis serves as an inspiration for many facing similar struggles, proving that vulnerability can lead to strength in unexpected places.
