Eminem’s past relationships and the famous women he’s been linked to

When Eminem first became a household name in the late ’90s, he was in a rocky on-again-off-again relationship with Kim Scott. The two were actually married and divorced twice. They first tied the knot in 1999, but divorced in 2001. They got back together and remarried in 2006. However, their relationship was still pretty tumultuous, and they divorced again after a few months. The two share a daughter, Hailie Jade, who was born in 1995.

In 2002, Slim Shady claimed he dated Mariah Carey for a brief time. The pop diva though, denied that they had a romantic relationship. It’s widely believed that the rapper was the subject of Carey’s 2009 track “Obsessed,” in which she dressed as a hooded male stalker.

Eminem was also romantically linked to his 8 Mile co-star, Brittany Murphy. The rumors about Em and the late actress began after their chemistry was displayed during their steamy scenes in the film. However, the two maintained that they were just friends.  

Eminem was also rumored to have dated Tara Reid in 2004. However, those rumors were never confirmed. He later mentioned her in his 2018 song “Kamikaze.”
