Eminem Is Not Engaged To Kim Mathers February 6th, 2007
Don’t believe a report that Eminem is engaged to Kim Mathers a third time.Britain’s Mirror tabloid reported Tuesday that rapper Akon, who duets with Eminem on “Smack That,” said of Slim Shady and his ex: “He can’t live with her, and he can’t live without her. But they are meant for each other. They are engaged again.”
But Dennis Dennehy, a rep for Eminem, tells PEOPLE: “Those reports are absolutely untrue.”
Eminem (real name: Marshall Mathers), 34, and the former Kim Scott, 32, first wed in 1999 and divorced two years later. They have a daughter, Hailie Jade, 11.
The couple were estranged for years, but remarried in January 2006, only to split again less than three months later.
On an episode of ABC’s 20/20 that aired Friday, Kim Mathers told correspondent JuJu Chang: “Money is great, but it doesn’t make your husband stay at home with you. Or sleep in the same bed with you. Him being on the road and on tour – that was like the big one. I mean, constant infidelities, all the time.”
Through a spokesperson, Eminem said in a statement to 20/20: “For the sake of our children that we raise together, I have made a decision to not participate in matters such as this.”
Dammit! I was about to place Vegas bets on when they’d split.
