Eminem and Katrina Malota are in a relationship

According to PEOPLE, Katrina has been part of Eminem’s professional circle for a long time. While neither Eminem nor Katrina has confirmed the news, reports suggest their friendship has gradually turned into something more personal.

Who is Katrina Malota?

Katrina Malota has been working in the beauty and styling industry for more than 15 years. She is based in Michigan and has created a successful career as a makeup artist and hairstylist for celebrities. Her professional website states that she has worked with a number of well-known artists, such as Snoop Dogg, Robin Thicke, 50 Cent, and Eminem, whom she casually refers to as her "local hometown genius."

Eminem’s past relationships and family life

Eminem’s last public relationship was with his ex-wife Kimberly Scott. The two began dating in the 1990s and went through an on-and-off relationship before finally parting ways in 2006. They have two adopted children, Alaina and Stevie, and one biological daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers.

In 2023, Hailie married her longtime partner, Matt Moeller, and Eminem walked her down the aisle. Speaking to PEOPLE, Hailie said she felt “beyond blessed” and credited her father for making her wedding day possible.

She also reflected on growing up with a famous father, telling PEOPLE in June, “Over time, I’ve come to understand the struggle my father faced—wanting to protect our privacy while also feeling proud and wanting to celebrate his kids.”

Now, as the host of the 'Just a Little Shady' podcast, Hailie says she’s following his example when it comes to protecting her own family’s privacy. “It’s all about finding that balance between openness and privacy,” she shared. “That balance has become even more important to me as I navigate parenthood.”

While official confirmation is pending from both the rapper and Katrina Malota, the news suggests that a strong professional friendship has blossomed into a personal bond, adding a fresh layer of interest to the private life of the Detroit superstar.
