Eminem appears to have found love. The rapper and late '90s and early aughts icon is rumored to be dating a long-term member of his team.
TMZ reports that Eminem is dating his stylist and makeup artist, Katrina Malota. According to the outlet, Malota and Eminem have worked together for years, with her serving as his stylist for different music videos and photoshoots.
While it's unclear when the pair began their relationship, Malota is a prominent figure in the music industry, working with artists like Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, and Robin Thicke.
She's based in Michigan and is reportedly from Detroit, like Eminem, who grew up in the area and often discusses how important the region was for his music and development.
Eminem's love life
While Eminem has been famous for a large part of his life, the rapper and pop culture icon has tried his best to keep his love life away from the spotlight.
One of his most notorious relationships was with Kim Scott, the woman he married and divorced twice. The two began dating as teens and welcomed their first daughter in 1995. Four years later, they got married, divorcing two years later.
The pair reconciled in 2006 and ended their relationship definitively that same year. They share three kids: Alaina Marie, 32, Hailey Jade, 29, and Stevie Laine, 23.
Eminem and Scott adopted Alaina, with her being the daughter of Scott's sister. "I have full custody of my niece," he said in an interview with Rolling Stone. "My niece has been a part of my life ever since she was born. Me and Kim pretty much had her, she'd live with us wherever we was at."
In recent months, Eminem has welcomed two grandkids from Alaina and Hailey.
He's rumored to have dated artists like Mariah Carey, something she denies, kicking off a back-and-forth that resulted in several diss songs, and Nicki Minaj. In 2017, Eminem made a rare comment about his dating life, sharing a candid response about the process of getting to know people and having to introduce them to the public.
“Since my divorce, I’ve had a few dates and nothing’s panned out in a way that I wanted to make it public,” he said in an interview with Vulture.
