Kim Scott Mathers - Top 5 Facts on Eminem's Former Wife

Here’s all that you need to know about Kim Scott Mathers, the former spouse of the Rap God, Eminem!

Eminem and his daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers Scott, are hip-hop royalties, all thanks to the 47 years old rap god of this century. Yet the other part of that close-knit family, the mother of Hailie Jade, remains a mystery to the world. Kim Scott Mathers, Eminem’s former spouse, is often mentioned in some of his past songs, and the lyrics aren’t exactly complementary, to say the least. Nevertheless, Kim’s life story is just as controversial and dramatic as Eminem’s verses.

The former couple spent quite a time with each other throughout their constantly on-and-off relationship. The connection between two was problematic, to put it mildly. One of Marshall’s closest friends, rapper Proof said in an interview with Rolling Stone in 1999 uttering, “One time we came home and Kim had thrown all his clothes on the lawn… and Em’s like, ‘I’m leaving her; I’m never going back.’ Next day, he’s back with her. The love they got is so genuine, it’s ridiculous. He gonna end up marrying her. But there’s always gonna be conflict there.”

Every one of Proof’s words came to life as if it was some sort of prediction. Not only did the twosome tied up in a marital relationship, but they also did it more than once, and the life story of the couple that ensued was hellish.

Kim Scott was a Twin Child

Very little and vague details about Kim’s childhood exists; however, there is one fact about it that stands out from all the baseless rumors. Kim Scott wasn’t the only child and actually had a twin sister named Dawn. Scott and her twin sister Dawn were born on January 9, 1975, to Kathleen Sluck in Warren, Michigan.

The twins ran away from their home in 1988 allegedly to escape the abuse from her alcoholic stepfather and settled at a young shelter outside Detroit. Marshall’s mother wrote about his ex-wife in her memoir, calling Kim a challenge who told some tall tales about her past. Kim’s twin sister Dawn passed away on January 19, 2016, from a suspected overdose.

The Pair Met At a House Party When They Were Very Young

Marshal said recalling the moments of the house party, “I’m standing on top of their coffee table with my shirt off, with a Kangol on, mocking the words to LL Cool J’s ‘I’m Bad.’ And I turn around and she’s at the door smoking.” Not long after that, the rapper brought Kim home to his mother and then began the on-and-off relationship.

Kim Married Eminem Twice

Throughout their lifetime, the pair married twice. The first time they both tied the knot was in 1999, four years after their daughter Hailie was born. Their tumultuous relationship became the subject of many of the rapper’s vitriolic verses. A year later, Marshal released ‘The Marshall Mathers LP’ that came with a song he wrote about Kim. Eminem accused his then-wife of infidelity and fantasized about violently murdering her.

A year after the release of the album, the couple divorced bitterly entangled in a heated custody battle over their daughter Hailie. “I would rather have a baby through my penis than get married again,” Eminem told Rolling Stone in 2002 and yet still went on to reconcile with Kim. They were both married again in January 2006, before filing for divorce just three months later.
