He was married twice to Kimberley Anne Scott, whom he met in high school.
They began their on-and-off relationship in 1989, getting married by 1999.

His collaborator, Luis Resto, who co-wrote the song, accepted the award.
Eminem performing live on the Anger Management Tour in August 2005 In 2005, some industry insiders speculated that Eminem was considering ending his rapping career after six years and several multi-platinum albums.
Speculation began in early 2005 about a double-disc album to be released late that year, rumored to be titled The Funeral.
The album manifested itself as a greatest hits album under the name Curtain Call: The Hits, and was released on December 6, 2005 under Aftermath Entertainment.
In July 2005, the Detroit Free Press broke news of a potential final bow for Eminem as a solo performer, quoting members of his inside circle who said that he will begin to fully embrace the role of producer and label executive.
On the same day of the release of the compilation album, Eminem denied that he was retiring on Detroit-based WKQI's "Mojo in the Morning" radio show, but implied that he would at least be taking a break as an artist, saying "I'm at a point in my life right now where I feel like I don't know where my career is going ...
This is the reason that we called it 'Curtain Call', because this could be the final thing.
We don't know." In 2005, Eminem was a subject of Bernard Goldberg's book, 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America;
he ranked #58.
Goldberg cited a 2001 column by Bob Herbert of The New York Times claiming, "In Eminem's world, all women are whores and he is eager to rape and murder them." The Eminem song "No One's Iller" from The Slim Shady EP was used by Goldberg as an example of misogyny in his music.
In summer 2005, Eminem embarked on his first U.S.
concert run in three years, the Anger Management 3 Tour, featuring 50 Cent, G-Unit, Lil' Jon, D12, Obie Trice, The Alchemist, and others.
In August 2005, Eminem canceled the European leg of the tour and subsequently announced that he had entered drug rehabilitation for treatment for a "dependency on sleep medication".
His group-mate Proof from D12 stated that Mathers "sobered up" in 2002 from drug and alcohol dependence.
However, he did turn to zolpidem sleeping pills for relief from sleeping troubles.
This caused Mathers to cancel the European leg of the Anger Management Tour in August 2005 and eventually go into rehab for treatment for a "dependency on sleep medication".
In a 2009 interview with British talk-show host Jonathan Ross, Mathers admitted that at the height of his addiction, he considered suicide, saying that "I just wasn't taking care of myself, at times I wanted to just give it up." He also confirmed that he is now sober,
