ET confirms the news that rap superstar EMINEM has filed for divorce this morning for the second time from KIMBERLY MATHERS, after just 82 days of marriage.

Eminem, whose real name is MARSHALL BRUCE MATHERS III, filed the paperwork in Macomb County, Michigan.

Through his attorney, the '8 Mile' star has asked that his privacy be respected, and that his focus and primary concern is on daughter HAILIE, who is 10 years old.

The couple wed for the second time this past January in a suburb of their hometown of Detroit.

Eminem and Kim married the first time in 1999 and divorced in 2001 following a nasty custody battle involving their daughter. He penned several songs about his ex-wife, including a murder fantasy titled "Kim."
