Relationship with Eminem

Mathers first met Eminem in 1987 when Eminem was standing on a table shirtless rapping LL Cool J's "I'm Bad". When she was 15, Kim and her sister Dawn moved in with Eminem and his mother after running away from home. Shortly after, Eminem and Kim started dating, beginning their relationship.

In 1995, Kim got pregnant with their daughter Hailie Mathers. She was born on Christmas Day, December 25, 1995.

After their breakup in 1996, Eminem moved back to 8 Mile while Kim and Hailie moved into a 1-bedroom apartment as recounted in the song "Mockingbird".

In 1998, the couple reconciled and remarried.

Afterwards, Kim was seen kissing John Guerrera, the bouncer of a nightclub. Eminem assaulted Guerrera and was arrested for assault. Eminem recreated the arrest in the skit on his third album The Eminem Show called "The Kiss (Skit)". Eminem was then charged with assault and possession of a concealed weapon, and pleaded guilty to both charges. He received two years probation. After the arrest, Eminem released his hit single "Kim," a song that tells the story of Eminem murdering Kim in response to the affair.

On July 7, 2000, Kim and her sister attended Eminem's concert for the Up in Smoke Tour.

Kim said that Eminem promised that he wouldn't play "Kim" at the concert, but he played it and abused a blow-up doll meant to represent Kim. Kim, sad and embarrassed, left the show and got in a car accident. When she got back to their Detroit home, Kim attempted suicide by slashing her wrists, and ended up in the hospital the next day. The fiasco got Kim sentenced to 12 months’ probation and a fine of $900.

After the suicide attempt, Eminem filed for divorce, and Kim sued him for defamation for the song "Kim".

In December 2000, Eminem and Kim reconciled and called off the divorce proceedings.

On March 2, 2001, Kim filed for divorce from Eminem, making it the second time divorce has been filed during their first marriage.

[1] The first divorce was finalized October 11, 2001.

On July 8, 2001, Kim was arrested for disturbing the peace by riding a jet ski under the influence of alcohol. While escorting her to the county jail, police found cocaine in the backseat.

In 2002, Kim gave birth to Whitney, with a man named Eric Hartter.

In 2005, after a year of dating, Eminem proposed to Kim again.

The proposal became public when Eminem announced the second wedding on a Detroit radio station. Kim didn't want to get married at first, because it felt like she was being rushed. Eventually, the couple rewed on January 14, 2006, the seventeenth anniversary of when they started dating. At the wedding, guests attended including family, friends, 50 Cent's G-Unit, and Eminem's band D12. Hailie, their daughter, was the flower girl, and Proof, Eminem's best friend, was the best man. Eminem's mother, Debbie Mathers, did not attend. The wedding was caught on a Detroit local television news network.

A month later, Kim got into a heated argument with Eminem's brother Nathan.

The day after, Eminem left their Detroit home. Eminem didn't return phone calls or visit the kids for a month.

On April 6, 2006, Eminem filed for divorce again. 5 days later, Eminem's best friend Proof was murdered at a Detroit nightclub. The second divorce was finalized on December 19, 2006. Eminem and Kim agreed to share custody of their daughter Hailie, while Eminem received full custody of Alaina and Kim's daughter Whitney. [1]

In 2007, Kim went public about her divorce on ABC' s 20/20. In Eminem's song "Going Through Changes" on the album Recovery, Eminem says he still loves Kim because she is the mother of his child, but they will never be together. [3]

In 2019, Kim was mentioned in Nick Cannon's follow up to "The Invitation", "Canceled: The Invitation." Cannon dropped a line targeting Em and Kim's daughter Dawn: [20]

"Call Kim, somebody get Hailey and that other kid you raising that ain’t even your baby"

Drunk Driving

In November 2016, Mathers was sentenced to 12 months of probation and a $900 fine in connection to the October 2015 crash in Macomb Township in which she slammed her car into a pole in an attempt to commit Suicide. Mathers admitted she took Pill and drank rum before getting behind the wheel of her Cadillac Escalade and intentionally driving into a pole.
