Kimberly Anne Scott

Kim and Eminem first met when they were in their early teens. They met in a house party when she saw him singing LL Cool J’s track, ‘I Am Bad’ while standing on top of a table. She was 13, while Eminem was 15 back then. Kim instantly developed a liking towards him. They talked the whole time they were in the party and that was the beginning of their relationship.

It has been said that music brought them closer. Also, they both had a difficult childhood which too, played a crucial role in developing their relationship. Kim, along with her twin sister, Dawn, ran away from her home to escape the clutches of her alcoholic and abusive step-father. They found shelter at a center on the outskirts of Detroit. Eminem too, had a similar childhood experience. He was abandoned by his father and dwelled at many rehab centers.

After the party, Kim asked Eminem if she and her sister could move in with him as they needed a safer place to live. Eminem, who was living with his mother back then, agreed and took the twins to his home. Eminem’s mother was shocked to see them, but as days passed by she became fond of Kim. According to her, Kim was pretty and had a voluptuous figure. She has also said Kim looked older than she was.

Kim got pregnant while she was living with Eminem. However, their relation was already soured by then. Eminem’s growing success gave rise to many differences between them. Nevertheless, Kim delivered the first child, a girl, on December 25, 1995. She was named Hailey Jade.

Though they had a troubled relationship, they decided to get married. Kim and Eminem exchanged vows in 1999, but it did nothing to make their relationship work. Eminem incorporated his hatred towards Kim in his songs. He composed a song in 2000 and titled it ‘Kim’. The song was included in the album, ‘The Marshall Mathers LP’. The following year, they finally called it quits and got divorced.

Kim was born Kimberly Anne Scott on January 9, 1975 in Warren, Michigan, United States. She had a twin sister named Dawn Scott. They both were raised by their mother, Kathleen Sluck. Kim and Dawn experienced a tough childhood and were always on the run, in search of a shelter. Dawn died on January 2016 due to drug overdose.
