He eventually divorced her in 2001 and even penned some lyrics to that effect.
Kimberly did get back with Eminem – although it didn’t last – but not before her time with Eric Hartter. Her short-lived time with him produced their daughter, Whitney Scott Mathers on 16 April 2002, six months after her break up with the emcee. This clearly means that Kim was seeing Eric before the split. However, Eric Hartter was a drug dealer and was more focused on staying away from prison.
Sometime after Whitney was born, she started seeing Eminimen again and finally moved back in with him. Since Eric Hartter was not in a situation to handle his responsibilities, Eminem assumed full legal responsibility for Whitney. Eric was also never allowed to see his daughter.
Eric Hartter asked to see his daughter a couple of times and on one of these conversations with Kim over the phone, she dared him to take her to court if he wanted to see his daughter.

The relationship between Eric Hartter, Eminem’s and Kimberly Mathers has never been smooth. It has been characterised by lawsuits, arrests, and every other legal action possible and in all this time, Whitney Scott Mathers has never met her biological father. Whether she will decide to search him out herself when she turns 18 is a debate better left for the future. But it is clear for now that Eminem is the only father she has ever known and she is fine with that.
