Like most encore performances, the Eminem-Kim remarriage was brief.

The Detroit rapper filed divorce papers today, less than three months after remarrying his high school sweetheart Kim Scott. The Macomb County clerk's office in Michigan confirmed the filing.

Eminem--real name Marshall Mathers III--remarried Kim Scott on January 14, one month after the rapper told a Detroit radio station that the couple was back together.

The move marked a turnaround from what was long regarded as an exceedingly strained relationship. The couple's first marriage, which began in June 1999, ended two-plus years later in October 2001 in an ugly legal fight over custody of their daughter Hailie, now 10.

Eminem's turbulent relationship with Kim has long been a lyrical inspiration for the rapper. On his debut album, 1999's The Slim Shady LP, he rapped about killing Kim and disposing of her body, complete with a visual of a woman's body in the trunk of a car parked on a pier on the album's cover. One year later on The Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem described killing Kim in graphic detail.

According to the Detroit News, Eminem's filing cites as reasons for the divorce "a breakdown in the marriage relationship to the extent that the objects of matrimony have been destroyed."

It also shows that the couple had a prenuptial agreement but did not include details. Also mentioned in the filing is the fact that Kimberley Anne Mathers is not pregnant.

The filing indicates that he and Kim are "fit and proper persons to have joint legal and physical custody" of Hailie.
