Eminem and Kim Scott’s relationship began when they were teenagers, led to a marriage in 1999 and a divorce in 2001, then briefly resumed with a January 2006 remarriage before ending in a second divorce that December. The 2006 milestones were reported contemporaneously by the Associated Press; the early years are chiefly described in retrospective biographies.

How did Eminem and Kim Scott meet?

Biography.com reports that Eminem was 15 and Kim Scott was 13 when they met and began dating. Its account describes repeated breakups and reconciliations, but does not give a precise date for their first meeting. This is a retrospective account, not a contemporaneous record. Biography.com’s biography of Eminem provides that early chronology.

When was their daughter Hailie born?

The sources disagree on the year. Biography.com dates Hailie’s birth to December 1995, while the Detroit Historical Society’s biography lists 1996. The discrepancy should not be treated as settled by choosing one date: the accounts reviewed do not reconcile it. The Detroit Historical Society biography offers institutional biographical context.

When did Eminem and Kim marry and divorce the first time?

1999: First marriage

CBS News, carrying Associated Press reporting, says they married in 1999 in a secret ceremony in Missouri. Biography.com also places the marriage in 1999, before Eminem’s first major tour. The CBS/AP report is the contemporary source for the marriage date.

2000: Their relationship enters Eminem’s music

Biography.com connects the relationship to “Kim,” a track on The Marshall Mathers LP, released in May 2000. The song is Eminem’s artistic portrayal; its lyrics are not independent documentation of private events or evidence of Kim’s perspective.

2001: First divorce

CBS/AP reports that they divorced in 2001. Biography.com describes the separation as contentious and says it involved a custody dispute over Hailie. That characterization belongs to the retrospective account, rather than a neutral record of both parties’ views.

What did Eminem say about the divorce and fatherhood?

In a 2002 MTV interview, Eminem described fatherhood as central to his identity and said the relationship had been rocky. He framed the divorce in relation to Hailie being young. His comments are his own account, not a joint explanation from the former couple. In the interview, he said: “I’m a father before anything. I’m a father before I pick up the mic. I’m a father before I’m Eminem.” MTV’s interview transcript preserves his remarks.

Why did they remarry and divorce again in 2006?

The available contemporary account establishes the dates and legal outcome, but does not provide a detailed explanation from both former spouses for the remarriage or the second divorce.

What is known about their family context later?

An October 2024 Associated Press report identifies Hailie as Eminem’s daughter with ex-wife Kim Scott. It provides that family context but does not establish the nature of Eminem and Kim’s relationship today. The sources cited here also do not provide a direct account from Kim about the relationship chronology. The AP’s 2024 report concerns Hailie and does not resolve those questions.
