There’s been a new development for hip-hop icon Eminem in the romance department, according to a new report. A TMZ exclusive published October 16, 2025 says “sources with direct knowledge” have revealed the M.C. is dating makeup and hair artist Katrina Malota, who is based in his home state of Michigan.
The report says Malota is a longtime member of the “Stan” rapper’s team, and has been getting him camera-ready for years.
So who is Eminem’s new girlfriend? A bio on her website describes her as “one of the most in demand hairstylists in both entertainment and fashion industries.” Along with Eminem, it says she has also worked with Snoop Dogg, Robin Thicke, and 50 Cent.
In the bio of an Instagram account that is set to private, the stylist calls herself “a big dreamer with a big heart who can’t stop dancing.”
Eminem Was Previously Married Twice to Kim Mathers
Eminem, 52, has kept his love life largely out of the spotlight, aside from his highly publicized on-off relationship with Kimberly Ann Scott. People says the two started out as teenage sweethearts, meeting at a house party.
Their first child, Alaina Marie, was born in 1993. She was followed by another girl, Hailie, in 1995. The parents tied the knot in 1999. But soon after, things got rocky, and they divorced just two years after saying “I do.”
Eminem and Kim’s youngest child together, Stevie, was born in 2002, and they remarried in January 2006. Eminem filed for another divorce in April of the same year.
People says several of Eminem’s hit songs are about his tempestuous relationship with Kim, including “Love the Way You Lie” and “97 Bonnie & Clyde.”
Did Eminem Date Rihanna?
Eminem and Rihanna created an entire era with their June 2010 hit “Love the Way You Lie,” and fans could sense the strength of their working relationship through the screen. The megastars followed it up with a sequel, “Love the Way You Lie: Part II” in November of the same year.
After the song’s success, they worked together twice more, releasing “Numb” in 2012 and “The Monster” in 2013.
Eminem sparked rumors that he was romantically involved with the Barbadian beauty by rapping in his 2018 song “Killshot,” “Rihanna just hit me on a text. Last night I left hickeys on her neck.”
Rihanna has never directly responded to the rumors, but it is clear the pair shared a solid friendship. The “Love on the Brain” singer praised the “Majesty” rapper for his endless ideas in 2010, telling MTV, “He has so much in his mind that I almost feel lucky for him that he has music.
