She went on to marry her MIC co-star Hugo Taylor, with the couple proud parents of two young daughters, but Millie has admitted that it's only recently that she has realised how toxic her first marriage was. Speaking on Brogan Garrit-Smith's podcast Getting There, 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.'.

Her drinking and self-medicating intensified during this time period as she explained the public nature of her split meant 'I had to do it [drink] privately.'. 'I had just got divorced and was with Hugo. I was incredibly anxious, I barely eating, I was medicating with Xanax. I was not well. And just whenever the feelings would come up, I just remember just taking another pill. I was it was a really hard time.'.
