Eminem Divorces Kim, Again
December 20, 2006 by Gayla McCord
Eminem is once again, calling it quits with his childhood sweetheart Kim Mathers.
The two have divorced for a second time, less than a year after remarrying, but will be sharing custody of their ten-year-old daughter Hailie.
Despite making the effort to keep this family together by remarrying last year, the couple have apparently told a judge in Michigan that this time it’s genuinely over and no chance of reconciliation – there has been “a breakdown in the marriage relationship”.
Eminem, who was born Marshall Mathers, married his longtime sweetie, Kim in 1999, after the pair grew up together in Eight Mile, a district of Detroit. The pair has had a difficult past with Kim attempting suicide in 2000 and having spent time in jail for using cocaine.
Eminem, meanwhile, has been accused of threatening violence upon a man who kissed his wife and then including details in one of his songs.
The judge has said the couple “conducted themselves with dignity and respect”.
