Daniel Johns has opened up about his relationship with ex-wife Natalie Imbruglia, revealing that the pair didn't speak for ten years following their split.

"We’re friends now. But to be honest, we didn’t talk for about 10 years,” the Silverchair muso told The Project on Wednesday.

"When we were married, I was in my 20s. I was incapable of learning how to be responsible. I didn’t know how to use a phone. I was touring all the time,” Johns said of his four-year marriage to Imbruglia."

Daniel continued, "And then, I don’t know, I took it of my own volition and said, ‘Why are we not talking?’ I didn’t really understand and she was like, ‘I don’t know why we’re not talking either!’"

It seems that any bad blood that may have lingered between the former couple is now long gone, with the 'Torn' hitmaker even joining her ex-husband on his new Spotify podcast series, Who Is Daniel Johns?

In the pair's episode, Natalie heaped praise upon Daniel, calling him a “musical genius” and a “Peter Pan, maybe”.

Daniel and Natalie were married for five years before the couple divorced in 2008.

Elsewhere in his chat with The Project, Daniel also credited "years and years" of therapy to deal with the pressures and fame and the anxiety that came with it.

“It took me years and years and years of really heavy, heavy therapy,” Daniel said.

“And if I didn’t do that work, I don’t think that I would be here.”
