Less than three months after remarrying his ex-wife Kim Mathers, Eminem has filed divorce.

The filing Wednesday on behalf of Marshall Bruce Mathers III was confirmed by two employees of the Macomb County clerk's office, the Associated Press reports. The emloyees didn't provide their names, citing an office policy.

The rapper and Kim, his high school sweetheart, were married on Jan. 14 for the second time. They exchanged vows at Brook Hall mansion in Rochester, Mich. before 80 guests including rappers 50 Cent and Proof.

Eminem, 33, and Kim, 31, originally wed in 1999 and divorced two years later, waging an ugly custody battle over their daughter, Hailie Jade, now 10. They also have a daughter Alaina, Kim's niece, whom they adopted.

The couple patched things up in late 2004, and in December 2005 Eminem told Detroit radio station WKQI-FM, "We have reconciled and are probably going to remarry."

Messages seeking comment were left Wednesday with Eminem's publicist, Dennis Dennehy.
