Eminem goes private with divorce

Eminem has continued divorce proceedings with his estranged wife Kimberley Mathers in a private hearing yesterday - during which Mathers was reportedly seen being escorted from the courthouse by a sheriff's deputy.

Mathers is seeking financial support, attorney fees and joint custody of the couple's 10-year-old daughter, Hailie. Eminem, real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III, was present for the hour-long meeting before Court Referee David Elias, court officer Mark Mileski said.

Neither of the couple's representatives were available for comment.

Eminem, 33, filed for divorce in April - 82 days after they remarried in January. Their first marriage lasted from 1999 to 2001.

A meeting to discuss a potential settlement is scheduled for September.
