BEIJING, Jan. 16 (Xinhuanet) -- Superstar rapper Eminem and his ex-wife remarried on Saturday, five years after an ugly divorce ruptured their turbulent relationship.

    "I can confirm that they were married this evening," said Dennis Dennehy, a spokesman for Eminem's label, Interscope Records.

    Eminem, 33, whose real name is Marshall Mathers III, and his high school sweetheart Kimberly Mathers exchanged vows in a small and tightly guarded ceremony at Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, near Detroit.

    Journalists and fans crowded the entrance to the grounds around the hall -- a popular wedding site on the Oakland University campus -- as guests began arriving in the afternoon.

    News helicopters hovered overhead and paparazzi congregated outside the hall as the couple arrived by limousine and were whisked inside the 110-room mansion built for auto baron John Dodge's widow 80 years ago.

    Little information was available from inside.

    The Mathers first married in 1999 and their divorce, which prompted a custody battle over their 10-year-old daughter, was finalized in 2001.

    They reconciled in late 2004, and Eminem announced last December that they would get back together.
