One revelation shed light on the complexities of Eminem’s personal life and the struggles that he and Kim Scott faced over the years.

 

Eminem is one of the most iconic and controversial rappers of our time. For more than three decades, the rapper has succeeded in remaining relevant and on top with his brutal and controversial lyrics. Still, not everything has been perfect in Eminem’s life. While his career has always been going up, things are quite different in his personal life.

He married his high school sweetheart Kimberly Anne Scott in 1999, four years after welcoming their daughter Hailie Jade; they first divorced in 2001. Then, even though Eminem and Kim Scott married again in 2006, they divorced once again within the same year. During that time, he adopted Stevie Laine Mathers, Kim Scott and Eric Hartter’s child. Eminem also adopted Kim Scott’s niece, Alaina Marie Mathers. He has been the father figure for quite some time for the three kids.

However, Eminem might have done wrong by his ex-wife Kim Scott and their kids in one particular way.

Eminem And Kim Scott’s Short-Lived Marriage

Even if they married once again in 2006, Eminem and Kim Scott’s marriage was pretty tumultuous. The rapper and his high school sweetheart had a love story that was fit for the movies.

They were young and in love when they first married, and their marriage seemed like a fairytale come true. But as it often happens, things don’t always go as planned. Before being with Eminem, Kim Scott had a tough childhood and ran away from home.

Looking back on their history together, Kim Scott met Eminem in 1988, when he was only 15 years old, while she was about 13 years old. Until they married in 1999, Eminem and Kim Scott’s relationship was on/off because they were both living with his mother, Debbie Nelson, who didn’t exactly approve of their relationship because of their age at that time.

Eminem dropped out of high school and his mother allegedly asked them to leave. They married in 1999, and a few years later, namely in 1995, they welcomed Hailie Jade Scott Mathers, but times were hard.

Before getting married, it was clear that Eminem and Kim Scott’s relationship was rocky since his lyrics were quite negative and allegedly referred to Kim Scott. However, they tied the knot in 1999, but things weren’t exactly great between the two. They agreed though that his career created obstacles in their marriage.

Kim Scott reportedly discussed Eminem’s “ego” as he became more famous. In the following years, cheating allegations from Eminem put more obstacles in their relationship which eventually ended in divorce in 2001. But their second shot at love in 2006 was just as fleeting, and they divorced again within months.

The couple’s relationship has been the subject of many of Eminem’s songs, and fans have speculated about their tumultuous history for years.

Why Did Eminem Adopt Kim Scott’s Kids?

During their relationship, Eminem and Kim Scott shared three children together; however, only one of them was Eminem’s biological child, namely Hailie Jade Mathers. She was born during Kim Scott and the rapper’s first marriage.

After they divorced, Kim Scott had a relationship with Eric Hartter, and they welcomed Stevie Scott Mathers, formerly known as Whitney Scott Mathers. When Eminem and Kim Scott married again in 2006, he adopted Stevie, as well as Alaina Marie Mathers, the daughter of Kim Scott’s sister.

Eminem is a very private celebrity when it comes to his personal life and didn’t really show his relationship with Stevie Scott Mathers, even being rumored that it was a secret life. The actual truth came a bit later when Stevie went to social media to reveal that she didn’t know she was adopted until later in life.

In other words, Stevie’s social media post revealed that Eminem didn’t inform his daughters about the adoption.

The revelation has left many wondering if Eminem might have done wrong by his ex-wife Kim Scott and their kids by not disclosing the truth about the two adoptions. Some argue that his decision to keep this information from Stevie Scott Mathers and Alaina Marie Mathers may have had negative consequences on their relationship and trust in their father figure.

While it’s unclear why Eminem chose not to disclose the truth earlier, it’s evident that Stevie’s revelation has caused a stir in the media and among fans of the rapper.

What Happened To Kim Mathers?

Being married to a celebrity surely puts you in the spotlight. But when that celebrity is Eminem, things become even more complicated. Even if she isn’t a household name as her ex-husband, there are many things known about Kim Scott Mathers. Her two marriages to Eminem surely came with some fame.

During their marriage, Kim Scott Mathers allegedly developed substance issues, which was speculated to be one cause for their final divorce in 2006. Also, she has been arrested for possession of drugs and even succeeded in avoiding a trial for drinking and driving.

Shortly after they divorced the second time, Kim Scott Mathers started writing children’s books and became quite successful within that field. However, things weren’t exactly perfect in her life.

After her mother passed away, Kim Scott Mathers reportedly struggled with depression. Still, she started to slowly put her life back together and focused on living a clean lifestyle.

In the end, it’s difficult to say if Eminem did wrong by not disclosing the truth about Stevie and Alaina’s adoption. But what is clear is that this revelation has shed light on the complexities of Eminem’s personal life and the struggles that he and Kim Scott Mathers have faced over the years.

With Kim Scott’s ongoing battles with substance and depression and Eminem’s international music career, it’s evident that their family has faced its fair share of challenges.
