Eminem is one of 2000’s biggest hitmakers and hip-hop’s most influential artists. Since he turned 50 in 2022, let’s discover whether Eminem is dating, married, or completely single.
Eminem is single at present and hasn’t been in any serious relationship in recent years.
Though the rap hall of famer has been discreet about his love life, there have been quite a few women who have been either rumored or confirmed to be part of Eminem’s ex-girlfriend list.
Dating History
Kim Scott
Eminem and Kim were high school sweethearts. They met in 1989 and lived together when Kim ran away from home. The two stayed in a mobile trailer owned by his mom and had a baby a few years later. They got married in 1999, but it wasn’t long before the two separated.
Eminem and Kim lived in a dangerous part of town and their home had been robbed several times. The couple struggled so much financially even as Eminem worked diligently, clocking in 60 hours a week in a family-style restaurant called Gilbert’s Lodge.
The couple’s tumultuous relationship was expressed publicly through Eminem’s lyrics, which sounded crass and disrespectful. Because of this, Kim filed a defamation lawsuit against the rapper which led to their divorce in 2001. The couple remarried and briefly got back together but finally called it quits in 2006.
The two currently keep a harmonious relationship while co-parenting their daughter, Hailie, and their adoptive children.
Brittany Murphy
Eminem’s other rumored girlfriend was Brittany Murphy, who played Kim in the movie 8 Mile.
Brittany admitted in an interview with David Letterman that they were romantically involved during the shoot but claims that “it came and it went,” signifying how quickly the relationship ended.
Mariah Carey
Another high-profile rumored relationship was with pop diva, Mariah Carey. It apparently began in 2001 when Carey sought out the rapper for collaboration in her album. Eminem claims that they dated for almost 6 months, but Carey has denied it, saying that she and the rapper have gone out 4 times and wouldn’t classify it as dating.
For Carey, Eminem was just one of those guys hung up on her, while Eminem shared how their personalities clashed and even called Carey a “diva.”
Nicki Minaj
The public went into a frenzy when a fan asked Nicki Minaj on her Instagram account, “Are you dating Eminem???” to which she replied “Yes.” And in a Boston concert, Eminem asked the crowd “How many here want me to date Nicki Minaj?” The crowd went wild, making Eminem respond “Goddamn it, me too!”
It sure was a trip for them to play with their fans’ hearts since 2010 when Roman’s Revenge was released. The two superstar rappers were alternately clapping back on each other with their lyrics, making the public tune in to this PR-fueled hypothetical coupling. Turns out it was all a publicity stunt.
Staying Single
Since his divorce from his ex-wife, Kim Scott, Eminem has never really publicly announced any romantic relationship he’s been in. He shares how he has tried countless times to meet someone, but also expressed his struggle due to his trust issues. Eminem says, “You always wonder what their real motives are.”
He put himself out there though, by using the dating app Tindr and by going to strip clubs to meet women. However, Eminem hasn’t found “the One” as of yet.
