Eminem’s support for ex-wife Kim Scott shows a different side of their long history

Eminem is reportedly doing everything he can to help ex-wife Kim Scott Mathers as she continues her latest battle with addiction.

According to a source who spoke exclusively to Globe , the rap superstar has pledged to cover the costs of Kim’s rehabilitation treatment for as long as she needs it, following her recent release from jail and apparent decision to seek professional help.

“He has zero judgment, all he cares about is her getting better,” the source said. “He has told her that she can stay in treatment for as long as it takes and he will cover it.” The reported show of support comes after another difficult chapter for Kim, who was recently released from jail following allegations that she bit a police officer. Reports have since indicated that she is pursuing treatment, something those closest to her hope could lead to a lasting recovery.

If Eminem has his way, Kim won’t rush the process

According to the source, the 53-year-old rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, would actually prefer that his former wife remain in treatment for an extended period to maximize her chances of long-term sobriety.

“He would actually love to see her stay in for a full year to just really give herself every shot at staying sober,” the insider claimed. “He is so hopeful. He says if she can do this, she can have the most wonderful life.”

The development may surprise some fans given the pair’s famously rocky history. Eminem and Kim’s relationship has been one of the most publicized and turbulent romances in entertainment. The couple married twice before officially ending their second marriage in 2006, and their ups and downs were frequently referenced in the rapper’s music over the years.

Eminem has never stopped caring about Kim

Despite the challenges they have faced, the source said Eminem has never stopped caring about Kim and remains hopeful that she can overcome her addiction struggles.

“He thinks the world of her, it’s just her addiction that messes her up and makes her someone he can’t have in his life,” the source explained. “But if she does succeed at rehab and stays clean and sober he will want her in his life. He cares about her very deeply.”

The source added that Eminem’s concern goes beyond his relationship with Kim. The rapper is reportedly thinking about the impact her recovery could have on their family, including daughter Hailie Jade Scott and Kim’s children Stevie and Alaina, both of whom Eminem adopted and helped raise.

“Of course, he wants this for the kids as well,” the source said. “He knows how much it would mean to them to have their mother back in her right mind and healthy.” Those close to Kim are reportedly optimistic that treatment could help her reclaim the healthier version of herself that family members and friends remember.
