It's true that Eminem has fathered at least one child. And fans know that he has not one but two unsuccessful marriages under his belt. Although, they were both to the same woman.

It's also true that Eminem has likely had some under-the-radar relationships during his time in the spotlight. He sure does rap about women often enough, right?

But Eminem maintains that he really doesn't date, and there's a specific reason why.

Eminem is a master at his craft, and the time it takes him to craft a rap song is pretty impressive. When it comes to relationships, though, Marshall Mathers has had some bad luck.

As E! Online reported back in 2018, some publicized relationships of Em's didn't end so well. His romance with Mariah Carey was reportedly one of them, though he was also rumored to have dated the late Brittany Murphy.

But he also admitted that he'd tried his hand at Tinder recently. Lest his fans immediately download the app and start swiping in vain to find Eminem, he probably isn't on the platform anymore.

Because, as Eminem has explained, he's only "had a few dates" since his divorce, and "nothing's panned out" to the point where he would publicly admit he was in a true relationship.

Further, the artist elaborated that when he's not Eminem, he's "just Marshall," and at that point, he's not "an attention-seeker." Which means he's unlikely to be publicly dating anyone, unless he's already sure they're the one.

Besides, his fame makes it tough to see anyone casually in public, said Mathers, according to Capital FM. The publication quoted Eminem as saying that he doesn't really date anymore because "going out in public is just too crazy."

But the rapper also explained that "it's just hard to meet new people, in my position." Essentially, he's too famous to take someone at their word that they're interested in him -- Marshall -- versus the persona of Eminem.

Marshall also explained, "I have trust issues. With women, friends, whatever. You always wonder what their real motives are." That's not to say he doesn't trust anyone; Mathers explained that he has a small circle of friends that he's known forever.

So maybe one of those true pals will help Eminem find true love. Because if his last real relationship was really Mariah Carey or Brittany Murphy, it's probably been a really long time since he's had a proper date.

Although, he does seem to remain in contact with his ex Kim, and however dysfunctional that relationship was, maybe there's something left to rekindle there?
