Could Eminem and his ex-wife Kim Scott Mathers be getting back together? They could be giving romance another shot, his former mother-in-law told Radar Online. And another source said she wouldn’t be surprised if the duo spent the rest of their lives together.

Kathy Sluck told Radar Online that her daughter sees the “Monster” star “all the time.” She added: “They get along better than ever. He’s building her a new house on 22 Mile.” The news site added there is a house being built on that road in Macomb, Mich., outside Detroit.

The grandmother of Eminem’s adopted daughter Whitney, Marie Hartter, said that even though she doesn’t think Marshall and Kim Mathers are back together as of now, they will never stop loving each other. “As far as I know they’re not together, but I think your first love, they’re always going to have that tumultuous back and forth thing going – always,” she said. “They’ve been in love since they were 14 or 15, and that’s not going to stop anytime soon.”

Hartter went on to add: “They will probably grow old together one way or another, as much as he says he hates her in his music, he loves her that much too, I feel. I think it’s kind of like throwing gas on the fire. I’ve always felt that that was each of their one true love. I think they met very young, they were together a lot of years, I don’t think she’s ever been with anyone for as long as she’s been with him, whether it’s off and on.”

The couple’s tumultuous relationship has been depicted in many of Eminem’s songs, most notably the rage-filled song “Kim” where he kills her. But the 41-year-old rapper seems to have had a change of heart lately. In his newest album “MMLP2” he even says that he’s sorry to his mother Debbie in the track “Headlights.” Over the years he tore her apart in songs like “Cleanin’ Out My Closet,” and she even took him to court over a slander lawsuit.

It seems E, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, could be trying to rebuild all the broken relationships in his life, so it’s not surprising he would want to fix things with Kim, the mother of his daughter Hailie and the woman he married and divorced twice.
