Whitney Scott Mathers Is Eminem’s Adopted Non Binary Daughter - Facts about Her Life
Marshall Mathers III, known as famous rapper Eminem, was once unafraid to boast about his family dynamics. However, when using his daughter Hailie's name in his music backfired, the rapper refrained from revealing too much about his other two daughters, Alaina and Stevie.
Whitney Scott Mathers is Eminem and ex-wife Kimberly Scott Mather's daughter, whom she had a little after their first separation with another man. When the former lovers reunited in 2006, Eminem officially adopted Whitney.
Following their announcements on their social media in October 2017 and August of last year, they are part of the LGBTQ+ community and an ally as a genderfluid and bisexual person who now goes by Stevie Laine. What more do we know about Stevie?

Who Are Whitney Scott Mather's Parents?
Whitney Scott Mather's parents are the ex-wife of their adoptive dad Kimberly Scott Mathers and a man named Eric Hartter. Kim and Hartter's romance ensued after she and the rapper divorced in 2001.
When the divorcees got back together in 2005, Eminem took it upon himself to fill the role of a father in Whitney's life as their mom battled depression and substance abuse. However, the rapper emphasized how important it was that his daughter understood that their mothers were sick and needed help.
He explained:
"You can never let a child feel like it's her fault for what's goin' on."
He then concluded that he would always be there for them. However, Eric Hartter was barely involved in his daughter's life.

According to Meaww, Hartter wasn't even present for Whitney's birth as the late tattoo artist was wanted for arrest as he was suspected of drug dealing, but that wasn't the first of his run-ins with the law.
Hartter had already been convicted a few times before and after his daughter's conception and birth and allegedly struggled with drug addiction. He had also been convicted and served time for drug possession. Unfortunately, Hartter passed on in 2019 at 40 due to a drug overdose.
Meaww also reported that Hartter was involved in a relationship with a woman named Sarah Hubbard, who expressed her grief over the loss of her children's father on Facebook.
She wrote:
"I love Eric w every ounce of me he was my best friend no matter what! Eric has made some sh***y choices in life, but who hasn't! I have yet to meet a perfect person."
According to The Sun, Whitney's biological paternal family claimed they would always love her and would be more than willing to tell them more about their birth dad.

Hailie Jade Mathers is Whitney's older sister, who attended Michigan State University and graduated with a 3.9 GPA with a major in psychology. Her parents welcomed her on December 25, 1995.
She is active on social media, with an Instagram following of over 2 million followers and counting. There are no other official social handles in her name. Their eldest sister is Alaine Marie Scott, who recently became engaged to her boyfriend, Matt Moeller.
Alaine announced the good news on a December 2021 Instagram post where she remarked she would agree to marry her fiance a hundred times over. Eminem has not released any public statement about Alaine's engagement.
