Eminem and ex-wife to remarry

Eminem and his former wife Kimberly Mathers are set to marry again after being granted a wedding licence.

The pair have 33 days from the date of the application to tie the knot in the US state of Michigan.

The rapper said in December that he had reconciled with his former wife and they were likely to remarry. The couple first married in 1999 and divorced two years later. Their split became a bitter legal wrangle involving a custody battle over their daughter, Hailie.

Details about the remarriage, including the date and venue, have yet to be released.
