The musician, who is currently appearing on Celebs Go Dating, opened up about the breakdown of his relationship with Karima McAdams, becoming visibly emotional.‌The 42-year-old rapper sat down with love gurus Anna Williamson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, explaining that he feared dating again which, in turn, prompted a candid discussion about how dating had affected his mental health.‌During their discussion, Professor Green, whose real name is Stephen Manderson, said that he felt "uncomfortable" when his date on the programme revealed that she had eyes for him.‌Pro Green said: "When she said she fancied me I was like, 'Why don't I like that'. That's so strange." When he was prompted to reflect on his past and whether he struggled to process emotions, he opened up about his ex-partner and their co-parenting before becoming overcome with emotion.He explained: "Now that we're co-parenting, and people don't hear men talk about this, right? I never had a kid to not wake up to him. You know, my dad f*****g ran. I'm not running. Far from it. And it's f*****g hard. It's so hard to put your feelings to the side and go, 'I'm going to prioritise the well-being of my kid'.‌"I can't show him how upset I am all the time. It's so important that he sees good example, because you have to lead by example… and it's not easy."The musician, responsible for hits including Read All About It and Monster, went on to add: "People have this assumption of men being f*****g feelingless.‌"Why do you think more men kill themselves? It's because we don't know how to tend. I don't want to spend my life surviving."Pro Green instantly received praise from social media users for his candid admission, with one fan writing: "Powerful powerful powerful Stephen. Hope you're holding that head up sooooo high [sic].""Aww I feel so sorry for Stephen… he is such a lovely person too… bless him," said a second. Earlier this month, Professor Green revealed that since leaving London, his mental health has drastically improved.‌He says his passion for spending time outdoors has had 'a real impact' on his mental health. Green said: "Living in London, you get so used to the constant noise and hustle that it is easy to forget how much of a difference getting outdoors can make. For me, stepping away from the city and spending time outside helps clear my head and reset."That connection to the outdoors has had a real impact on my mental health, and it has changed how I think about what I wear too. You want pieces that can handle the elements but still feel right when you’re back in the city. It's about function and style working hand in hand, not one or the other."Pro Green has never shied away from opening up about his struggles, having previously disclosed that he was 40 when he was diagnosed with autism and ADHD.Article continues below"Forty years of being me nearly killed me. And I don’t think it’s dissimilar to what a lot of people go through when we hit middle age," he explained.Like this story?
