In a rare and touching revelation that has stunned fans, Kim Scott, the former wife of rap icon Eminem, has shared a deeply personal tradition the world never knew about: for over 15 years, Eminem has sent her a bouquet of white flowers every June 17, accompanied by the same simple note — “No matter what, this day always matters.”
The confession came during a low-profile interview Kim gave to a local Detroit radio show promoting mental health awareness. While discussing the ups and downs of her journey with addiction, motherhood, and public scrutiny, she was asked if she and Eminem still kept in touch.
What followed was a moment of unexpected vulnerability.
“Marshall and I haven’t been together for a long time,” Kim said softly. “But there’s one thing he’s never missed. Every June 17, for the last fifteen, maybe sixteen years — I lose count — I get a bouquet of white flowers. Always white. Always with the same note.”
A Day That Changed Everything
June 17 marks the anniversary of Kim and Eminem’s first wedding in 1999, which, though short-lived, was a pivotal chapter in both their lives. For many fans, their tumultuous relationship — marked by divorce, reconciliation, and public feuds — was a symbol of both chaos and complexity in love.
But behind the scenes, it seems a quiet, consistent tenderness has endured.
“He never signs it with his name,” Kim continued. “But I don’t need a signature. I know exactly who it’s from. And honestly, every year it hits me just as hard. Because even with everything we’ve been through, he remembers. He chooses to remember.”
The interview clip quickly made waves on social media, racking up millions of views within hours. Fans were moved by the raw honesty and the unexpected depth of sentiment from one of hip-hop’s most famously private figures.
Fans React with Emotion
On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag #June17Flowers began trending as fans posted their reactions.
“I’m crying in the club. Marshall Mathers sending Kim flowers every year on their anniversary?? That’s the most Eminem thing ever,” one user wrote.
“This makes me believe in broken love that still respects history,” another commented.
Others praised both Kim and Eminem for keeping their complicated bond dignified in recent years, especially as co-parents to Hailie Jade, now a mother herself.
A Tradition Wrapped in Silence
Sources close to Eminem confirm the tradition but say he has never spoken publicly about it — and likely never will.
“He’s not the kind of guy who shows affection loudly,” a longtime associate shared. “But when he loves, it runs deep. That day means something to him. Even if they didn’t work out as a couple, they survived so much together — young love, parenthood, addiction, fame.”
The choice of white flowers, often symbols of remembrance, purity, and silent respect, hasn’t gone unnoticed.
“He’s saying sorry, thank you, and I remember — all in one gesture,” a fan wrote. “That’s poetry.”
A Quiet Legacy of Love and Growth
Though Kim made it clear that she and Eminem are not romantically involved and have long gone their separate ways, her voice trembled slightly when she concluded the segment:
“I don’t know if people believe in soul ties, but… that day changed both our lives. And some part of us still honors it. Quietly, but honestly.”
As the story spreads, what began as a quiet personal moment has become a reminder that even after storms, some connections linger—soft, steady, and stitched into the years.
Whether or not Eminem ever confirms the tradition himself, the world now knows: every June 17, a simple bouquet of white flowers speaks the words he chooses not to say out loud.
