Kim Mathers will soon reunite with Eminem as the former couple attend their daughter Hailie’s wedding.
Infamously, the self-appointed ‘Rap God’ hit out at his ex-wife in a 2000 diss track which caused controversy for its graphic lyrics.
Over two decades later though, the parents seem to have put their differences aside.
However, their long-fought feud is legendary among fans of the musician.

Mathers and Eminem began dating in their teens, with the pair deciding to marry in 1999 - but it wasn’t long until the marital bliss ended.
In 2000, the rapper released ‘Kim’ – a diss track about his then-wife which tells fans how much he hates his former spouse.
The ‘Mockingbird’ singer even revealed how he wished he could put Mathers in a trunk in one particularly violent lyric.
Days after Shady filed for divorce, she launched a defamation suit over the song and the couple parted ways in 2001.
According to The US Sun though, Mathers and Eminem will be attending their daughter’s wedding as she marries her long-term partner, Evan McClintock.
The outlet also claims that the former couple have stayed in contact over the years as they co-parent their three children together.
Despite this, she admits that she and the Grammy Award winner rarely see each other, with her telling The US Sun: “Not often, but often enough!"
Her daughter Hallie is particularly close with her famous father, with her once opening up about her ‘surreal childhood’ on her podcast.
Cheekily entitled Just a Little Shady, the first episode heard her recall showing her friend Brittany the musician’s tour bus.
She told listeners: "I don’t know, we had so many normal experiences that when something like that happened, I thought like, 'Oh, everybody else does this too', not realising that like, no, that’s freaking weird.
"It’s so fun to look back, when we have these conversations here, wherever, like thinking back as an adult, like, 'Wow, that’s actually so surreal'.
"Those memories of me thinking those were normal things, now I look back and I’m like, ‘Holy crap, that was cool'."
Later on in the podcast, the women discussed a trip they took with Eminem to Florida – during which he worked on new music.
Eager for the girls to have some fun, he arranged for a limo to take them to Disney for the day, with Brittany and Hallie dressing up as princesses.
With Slim Shady putting this much effort into holidays, we can’t even begin to imagine what his daughter’s wedding will be like!
