Eminem’s Dad, Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr.
At 22 years old, Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. tied the knot with Debbie, a then 15-year-old teen. Two years later, they welcomed their son, Marshall Bruce Mathers III. In other words, Eminem was born to two parents who were actually kids themselves.

Right after Marshall’s birth, his dad picked up and left. He and his mother then moved to Detroit. “He never knew his father,” Debbie wrote in her memoir titled My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem (2008), “and I did all I could to make up for it. I wanted Marshall to have a relationship with his father… but Bruce didn’t want to.”
