The Untold Lives Of Eminem's Exes: Kim Scott's 2025 Grandparent Status And The Mariah Carey Feud
Few relationships in celebrity history are as tumultuous, public, and creatively inspiring as that of Marshall Bruce Mathers III—better known as Eminem—and his ex-wife, Kimberly Anne Scott. Their decades-long, on-again, off-again romance has fueled some of the rapper's most iconic and controversial music, creating a narrative that continues to captivate fans worldwide. As of late 2024 and early 2025, the story has entered a surprising new chapter, moving past the drama and into a period of quiet, shared family life.
The narrative surrounding the "Rap God" often focuses on the women who have inspired his lyrics, but the latest updates prove that his life, and the lives of his exes, are evolving far from the spotlight of his "Slim Shady" persona. The most significant recent news revolves around his family's latest milestone, confirming that the former couple is now navigating life as grandparents, a fresh and unique update to their legendary saga.

The Tumultuous Timeline of Eminem and Kim’s Relationship
Eminem and Kim's relationship is a cornerstone of his mythology, beginning long before his rise to global fame. They first met in 1987 when Kim was just 13 and Eminem was 15, and she and her twin sister, Dawn, had run away from home.
Eminem's mother, Debbie Nelson, briefly took Kim in, and the two began a relationship. Their daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers, was born on Christmas Day in 1995.
The couple married for the first time in 1999, but this union was short-lived, ending in a messy divorce in 2001, a period heavily documented in songs like "Kim." They remarried in January 2006 in a brief attempt to reconcile, but that marriage dissolved within months, with the second divorce finalized later that year.
Kim Scott’s Life Today: Grandparent Status and Recent Appearances
In the years following their final divorce, Kim Scott has intentionally retreated from the public spotlight, focusing on her mental health and family life. She has largely succeeded in maintaining a private existence in the Detroit area.
However, recent years have brought two major, positive public updates, demonstrating a healthy co-parenting relationship with Eminem. In May 2024, Kim made a rare public appearance to celebrate the wedding of their daughter, Hailie Jade, to Evan McClintock.
The most significant and newest update came in early 2025. Following Hailie's announcement in April, Eminem and Kim Scott officially became grandparents in March 2025, an event that marks a new, peaceful chapter in their shared history. Despite their dramatic past, the former couple remains on good terms, prioritizing their daughter and the new addition to their family.
The Infamous Feuds: Mariah Carey and the "Superman" Saga
While Kim Scott is Eminem's only ex-wife, his dating timeline includes a number of highly publicized, and often disputed, relationships. The most controversial of these is his alleged romance with pop icon Mariah Carey, a relationship that morphed into a decade-long hip-hop feud.
Eminem’s Claim vs. Mariah’s Denial
Eminem has consistently claimed that he and Mariah Carey dated for approximately six months in the early 2000s after they met to discuss a potential musical collaboration for her album, *Charmbracelet*.
Mariah Carey, however, has repeatedly and vehemently denied that a romantic relationship ever took place, referring to their interactions as minimal and purely professional.
The Disstrack War
The conflicting stories led to one of the most famous celebrity beefs of the era. Eminem used his music to air his grievances, most notably in the 2002 track "Superman," where he explicitly references the alleged relationship.
Carey responded with the 2009 song "Obsessed," in which she sings about a delusional man who claims to be dating her. Eminem fired back with the brutal diss track "The Warning," which included voicemail messages and details he claimed proved their relationship. The feud eventually cooled, but the saga remains a defining moment in both artists' careers, showcasing the intensity of Eminem's personal lyrics.
Other Notable Exes and Rumored Links
Beyond his marriage to Kim and the high-profile feud with Mariah Carey, Eminem has been linked to a few other notable women, though his private nature means many of these relationships remain speculative or short-lived.
Brittany Murphy: The '8 Mile' Connection
One of the most confirmed, yet short-lived, relationships was with actress Brittany Murphy, his co-star in the 2002 film *8 Mile*.
Murphy, who played Alex opposite Eminem's character B-Rabbit, confirmed on the *Late Show with David Letterman* that they "were a thing" while filming the movie, though she clarified it was "short-lived."
The two had a brief romantic involvement that started on the set of the semi-autobiographical film set in Detroit, adding a layer of off-screen reality to the drama of the movie.
Nicki Minaj: The Social Media Tease
In a more modern, social media-driven twist, Eminem and rapper Nicki Minaj sparked major dating rumors in 2018. The speculation began when Minaj mentioned in a song that she was dating "Slim Shady."
Eminem played along with the rumors, responding to a crowd at a music festival by asking if he and Minaj were dating, to which the crowd roared. He then said, "Well, goddamnit, me too!"
It was later confirmed that the entire exchange was a playful, mutual trolling of the media and fans, with Minaj clarifying that she loved him, but they were not romantically involved. This brief, public flirtation added an amusing footnote to Eminem's dating history.
The Quiet Life After the Storm
Today, Eminem is known to be fiercely private, and while he has been linked to a few other women over the years—including Kendra Jade and Joy McAvoy—none have reached the level of public discourse as Kim Scott or Mariah Carey.
His focus remains on his music and his family. The most recent, authentic updates—the 2024 wedding and the 2025 grandparent news—suggest that after decades of drama, the most important relationships in his life, particularly with his ex-wife Kim Scott, have finally found a peaceful equilibrium. This quiet, stable chapter is a stark contrast to the chaos that defined his early career, proving that even the most volatile relationships can evolve into a foundation of shared family love.
