Professor Green has admitted he is not yet ready to become a father.
The 31-year-old made the confession to The Mail on Sunday, adding that it is because he is still struggling to come to terms with his father's own suicide. Professor Green, whose real name is Stephen Manderson, lost his father seven years ago and the rapper has since been open about his own battles with depression. He has also admitted to seeing a psychotherapist after worrying that he could follow his father's tragic path.
Speaking to the publication, the 31-year-old explained: "I think there's a genetic link with depression and suicide. My dad did it and his brother did it. I haven't yet had suicidal thoughts although there have been a lot of dark, difficult days over the years.
"I felt it was right to take precautions by going to therapy and trying to fix myself, because – being happily married – children are the next logical step. But I can't escape the fact that I am a product of my dad and I don't want to pass this on."
Going on to talk about his relationship with Millie Mackintosh, he said: "We've been married two years, but I've always kept [my dad's suicide] out of our relationship. There was one time early on when my nan brought out my embarrassing childhood pictures and we came across one of me and my dad, and I burst into tears. But it is not up to Millie to fix me. Only I can do that."
Green and Mackintosh, tied the knot at Babington House in Somerset in September 2013. They had announced their engagement just six months earlier, in March.
