Eminem’s Private Life Heats Up with Reports of a Romance with His Trusted Stylist Katrina Malota.NN
Eminem has sparked dating rumors with his longtime stylist, Katrina Malota.
A source told TMZ Thursday that the “Lose Yourself” rapper and the Michigan-based makeup artist’s relationship turned romantic, though it’s unclear how long they’ve been involved.
Reps for the hitmaker weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
For years, Malota has worked alongside Eminem, 52, on the set of his music videos and other projects.
According to the beauty guru’s website, she has also worked with Snoop Dog, Robin Thicke and 50 Cent.
When she’s not traveling with the “Real Slim Shady” crooner, she’s based at a salon in Birmingham, Mich.
Eminem — born Marshall Bruce Mathers III — tends to keep his romances out of the spotlight, but was married and divorced twice to his ex-wife, Kim Scott, in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The 15-time Grammy winner and Scott started dating as teenagers and welcomed their now 29-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade, in 1995 before getting married in 1999.
The duo, however, quickly divorced two years later.

Eminem and Scott briefly reconciled in 2006, but once again parted ways that same year.
The exes are also the parents to a 32-year-old daughter, Alaina Marie, and a 23-year-old child, Stevie Laine.
The “Without Me” singer adopted Alaina from Scott’s sister, Dawn, in the early 2000s amid the latter’s struggle with drug abuse.
“I have full custody of my niece,” Eminem told Rolling Stone in 2004. “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 2005, he also adopted Stevie after Scott welcomed him with her ex-boyfriend Eric Hartter in 2002 during their separation.
Eminem got candid about dating after his divorce from Scott in 2017, telling Vulture that it was “tough.”
“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, admitting he would try to find dates at strip clubs and Tinder.
In the past, the singer was rumored to have dated Mariah Carey in 2001, which she has denied, and Nicki Minaj in 2018.
