Even if you don’t like Eminem’s music, there’s a good chance you know a lot about the man behind the music, Marshall Mathers. After all, he is one of the

biggest-names in rap and one of the most recognizable celebrities in the world. Eminem’s been telling the world his story for decades, and people have listened.


Over the years, fans have even grown to know about Eminem’s family through his music. We’ve heard about his volatile relationship with his ex-wife, Kim

Scott/Mathers. We’ve also learned about his biological daughter, Hailie Scott

 

Whether you first heard about her in “Just the Two of Us” on the 1997 Slim Shady EP, in the re-titled track “97 Bonnie & Clyde” on the 1999 Slim Shady LP or in one of many next song in which Eminem raps about his daughter, you know who Hailie is. However, while there is a lot known and shared about Hailie, very little is known about Eminem’s other two daughters, Whitney and Alaina. You may even just now know that Eminem has two other daughters.

Good it’s true. There are three of them. Although Alaina Marie Mathers and Whitney Scott Mathers don’t get as much attention as Hailie in Eminem’s music, they aren’t completely absent from it either. However, detailed information about their lives is not available and there is a good reason for that. In fact, there are some good reasons why we don’t hear much about them.

While even casual fans know Hailie through Eminem’s music, Alaina and Whitney are only known to a more exclusive group. One possible reason for this is that their stories are more complex. Alaina (born Amanda) is the daughter of Kim’s twin sister, Dawn Scott. Due to Dawn’s struggles with drugs, Eminem and Kim took Alaina in. “My niece has been a part of my life ever since she was born,” the rapper said in a 2004 Rolling Stone interview. “Me and Kim pretty much had her, she’d live with us wherever we was at.”
After adopting Alaina in 2002, Eminem introduced fans to her in the 2004 song “Mockingbird,” writing, “Lainie — Uncle’s crazy, ain’t he? Yeah, but he loves you, girl, and you better know it.” Later in the song, Eminem would claim her as his daughter by stating, “It’s almost like you’re sisters now. Wow, guess you pretty much are, and Daddy’s still here. Lainie, I’m talking to you too. Daddy’s still here.” Fans may not have known it back then, but Eminem also cared for another little girl in those years. Whitney Scott was born to Kim in 2002 when she was with Eric Hartter. With Hartter out of the picture and Kim in and out of jail, Eminem raised Whitney too. Through his music, Eminem would introduce the youngest in the Mathers family as Hailie’s “little sister” in 2005’s “When I’m Gone” and by name for the first time in 2009’s “Déjà Vu.”

EMINEM is celebrating his birthday today – but finding out just how old he is has left many fans staggered.
