Eminem is dating a woman who reportedly looks just like his ex-wife Kim Mathers.

The rapper - who divorced Kim, the mother of his 11-year-old daughter Hailie, for the second time last December - is now romancing Detroit hairdresser turned music studio manager Marni Bright.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Marni works at FBT Studios in Michigan where Eminem records. She is the spitting image of Kim and he is smitten with her.

"She has dumped her boyfriend, who she has been with for four years to be with him."

The 35-year-old rapper's representative Dennis Dennehy, confirmed the pair know each other but said: "They are not romantically involved."

Eminem and Kim first married in 1999 but divorced two years later. They remarried in January 2006 but Eminem filed for divorce in April of that year.

In March, they reached a court agreement to stop publicly criticising each other.

The agreement to stop making "derogatory, disparaging, inflammatory and otherwise negative comments" was made following a motion filed by Eminem to protect Hailie.

Eminem's lawyer, Harvey Hauer, said: "We're happy the court was able to bring this matter to a just and equitable resolution."
