Eminem is getting divorced - again.

The 'Slim Shady' rapper is to split from wife Kim Mathers less than three months after they tied the knot for the second time.

The couple have two children, 10-year-old Hailie Jade, who is their biological daughter, and Alaina, Kim's niece, who they adopted.

Divorce papers were filed at the Macomb County clerk's office on Wednesday (05.04.06) under his real name, Marshall Bruce Mathers III.

The hip-hop legend and Kim, 31, were high school sweethearts and got married for the first time in 1999 but divorced two years later.

They patched things up in late 2004, and last December (05), Eminem, 33, revealed the couple had reconciled and "were probably going to remarry".

On January 14th (06) they walked down the aisle for the second time at Brook Hall Mansion in Rochester, Michigan, in front of family and friends, including 50 Cent.

However, Eminem's grandmother was furious he remarried Kim.

At the time, 66-year-old Betty Kresin said the rapper was "stupid" for tying the knot with her again without first making her sign a prenuptial agreement to protect his fortune.

She said: "She's just after his money. Kim will take everything.

"She wouldn't want to get married so quick if he'd got a pre-nup."
