The rapper, fresh from a heavily bleeped Grammy performance, is firmly denying reports that he and his two-time ex-wife, Kim,are back together and expecting a baby.
"Contrary to false rumors spread by unreliable tabloids, Marshalland Kim Mathers are not romantically reunited in any way, nor are they expecting a child together," says Eminem's rep, Dennis Dennehy, in response to the latest Star cover. "They are a divorced couple who share custody of their daughter and maintain a friendly relationship."
The twice-divorced duo are parents to 14-year-old Hailie JadeScott, Eminem's frequent muse. He first married Kim in 1999. That union lasted two years, then they tried matrimony again in January 2006. They were done by that December.
The reports surfaced on Wednesday on mediatakeout.com, which quoted a Star Magazine story saying the couple got back together in June and that Mathers' baby is due in the spring. An anonymous "friend" says the baby is a boy.
