There are two major issues employers have with employment gaps.
1. Were you in jail.
2. Did your skills decline.
As long as you weren't in jail and you can show in the interview that you still have the technical skills, you should be fine.
Also, it's none of your employer's business and you could tell a innocuous white lie. If you don't want your employer to know your business, just make something up. After you start the job, it won't ever come up again.
Something everyone should take to heart: Fake it, til you make it. Just get through the door however you can and then perform. That's all that matters.
