Eminem’s 19-year-old son has made a heartfelt announcement, revealing his non-binary identity and new name, Stevie Laine. The artist, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, legally adopted Stevie in 2005, after his reconciliation with Kim Scott, Stevie’s mother.
Stevie introduced his true identity through a series of posts on Instagram and TikTok, showing off his unique fashion sense and recently short hair. In an Instagram post, Stevie shared her pronouns and emphasized the importance of acknowledging her non-binary identity. They wrote, “call me Stevie (they/her/him),” a statement backed up by her sister Hailie Jade, who is Eminem’s biological daughter with Kim.
Stevie also posted a video on TikTok illustrating his journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. The video showed her transformation over the years, accompanied by captions like “Watch me feel more comfortable in my own skin” and “growing and changing forever.” Stevie used the hashtags #genderfluid, #bi, and #nonbinary in several posts.
Support from family and friends
Supportive comments from fans began to pour in as Stevie shared his authentic self. One enthusiastic fan wrote: “We love this for you!!!!! Stevie is a lovely name too, I love it.” After deleting her Instagram account and starting over, another follower commented: “Welcome back beautiful, we miss you.”
A third follower expressed pride, writing: “SO PROUD OF YOU STEVIE WE LOVE YOU.”
Stevie’s grandmother, Kathleen Sluck, acknowledged his new name in an obituary published last month. The obituary acknowledged Kathleen’s joy in becoming a grandmother to her grandchildren, including Stevie, along with her other siblings, Alaina, Adam, Hailie, PJ and Parker.
In an emotional tribute from one of Stevie’s friends, Brooke, the love and closeness of her relationship with her grandmother was evident. The tribute recalled her past moments with Kathleen, who played an important role in her lives.
Stevie’s biological father is Eric Hartter, who was in a relationship with Kim Scott during a breakup with Eminem. The superstar rapper legally adopted Stevie, taking on a fatherly role in her life.
A complex story
Kim and Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, had a complex relationship history. They initially married in 1999 but divorced two years later. In January 2006 they remarried, but by April of the same year their reconciliation had fallen apart once again.
Stevie’s biological father, Eric Hartter, was a professional tattoo artist who struggled with legal issues and addiction, which led to multiple run-ins with the law. Tragically, he passed away last year at the age of 40.
Eminem played a major role in raising Stevie, along with Hailie, who is now 25, and his adopted daughter Alaina, who is 28. Alaina’s mother is Kim’s late twin sister Dawn, who tragically passed away due to a drug overdose in 2016. The announcement serves as an important step in her journey of self-discovery and acceptance. It is an opportunity for his fans and the public to embrace and respect his non-binary identity.
