On Monday, October 20, Jennifer Kleber, based in Florida, visited Darrell's Dog Gone Good Diner in Silver Springs outside Ocala. Kleber reportedly ordered two entrees, chocolate milk, and a soda. However, she later told the staff she only had $10, while her bill was $27.55. When staff confronted her, Kleber said her husband, rapper Eminem, would cover the rest of the bill.

She also reportedly said that the rapper had previously paid her bills and would do so again because he has "unlimited money." It is worth noting that Jennifer Kleber has no known connection to Eminem. The rapper is currently unmarried; his ex-wife is Kimberly Ann Scott. They were together for about two decades, marrying twice in 1999 and 2006. The couple divorced in 2007 and shares one daughter, Hailie Jade Scott.

Kleber was arrested on charges of defrauding an innkeeper after falsely posing to be Eminem's wife. She has also been banned from all Darrell's Dog Gone Good Diner locations and will face trespassing charges if she tries to enter any of them.

Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, first met his ex-wife, Kim Scott, in 1988 at a house party. They were both teenagers at the time. In his 2014 book, How It All Got Started: Lessons in Life, Art, and Entrepreneurship from Hip Hop Icons, the rapper recalled how he first met Kim and wrote:

"I'm standing on top of their coffee table with my shirt off, with a Kangol on, mocking the words to LL Cool J's 'I'm Bad.' And I turn around and she's at the door smoking."

The two soon started an on-and-off relationship, and Eminem's mother, Debbie Nelson, took her in. Kim said she was 15 at that time. Before Mathers and Scott married for the first time, they welcomed their first and only daughter together, Hailey Jade Scott, in 1995. Four years later, the two got married for the first time. Speaking to Q, he said:

"She made me get my a-- in gear — to make something of my life and try 10 quadrillion times harder than I had before. Everything that I am doing right now is for Hailie ... the money — it's for her college."

Kim Scott married Eminem again in 2005 after they had separated in 2001. During their separation, Kim also welcomed another daughter, Stevie Laine Scott, with her then-boyfriend, Eric Hartter. When the two got back together in 2005, Mathers legally adopted Stevie. The rapper also adopted Kim's twin sister Dawn's daughter, Alaina Maria Scott, in 1993.

After their final divorce in 2006, Kim Scott's attorney, Michael J. Smith, told PEOPLE.

"There was a lot of sadness about why this didn't work out. They've been together for 17 years. They're life-long friends, lovers, have been husband and wife, they're raising children together ... It's not the end and it's not over between them.
"Kim is doing great. She is a very articulate, very smart woman. She is going back to college to study design. She just wants to be a mom and go back to college. That's what she wants to do right now."

As of now, Eminem and Kim are focused on co-parenting for their children.
