The tumultuous relationship between Eminem and his oft-mentioned ex Kim ended in 2006, and according to Eminem’s representative, is not being rekindled. The reconciliation rumors started when a reporter spoke to Kim’s mother, Kathy Sluck, who said that the two have been seeing each a lot as of late that they are getting along better than they ever have. Kim’s mother said that she thinks the two may be getting back together soon, but Eminem representative Dennis Dennehey says that the two simply share a great friendship and take equal part in the responsibility of raising their family. The rumors were given more credence by the fact that Eminem is building a mansion for Kim and the girls in the suburbs of Detroit, just five minutes from his own home.
Raising a Family
Eminem and Kim’s daughter, Hailie, is now seventeen. The two are also raising Kim’s niece Alaina and Kim’s daughter from another relationship, Whitney. Eminem and Kim have been on-again off-again since they were teenagers, even marrying and divorcing twice. The couple first married in 1995, staying together until 2001. The second marriage was shorter lived, lasting only four months in 2006. The two now seem to have buried the angst that Eminem’s early rap albums portrayed, and Eminem is often seen with the ladies in his life. Sources close to Eminem and Kim say that they work as a great team to give the girls a good life.
