Was rapper close to her?
Eminem has lost another close family member, with his maternal grandmother Betty Kresin dying on Tuesday, 10th March at her home in Missouri at the age of 87. But the relationship seems to be in question.
Sources close to the family confirmed to TMZ that she died from complications related to breast cancer.
The rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, was not present when she passed.
The loss comes just over a year after the death of his mother, Debbie Nelson, who died in December 2024 following a battle with advanced lung cancer.
Betty was Debbie’s mother.
The relationship between Eminem and his grandmother was a complicated one.
In an August 2000 interview with London’s Mirror, Kresin spoke candidly about the painful distance that had grown between them as her grandson’s fame, and notoriety, grew.
“Neither his mother Debbie nor I can figure out what happened to this sweet, caring youngster. In just over 12 years he’s gone from telling me ‘Grandma I love you,’ to ‘Go to hell.’ It just breaks my heart,” she said.
“I can’t believe this is my Marshall, the same boy who used to come and sit on my lap.”
She also described his music at the time as “vile and disgusting.”
Despite the public airing of those grievances, fans who knew of the family’s history have been quick to note the role Kresin played in Eminem’s early life.
One Instagram commenter writes: “That was the grandma’s house he always went to as a kid when things got rough at home. She loved him so much and always took care of him.”
Tributes from fans have poured in across social media since news of her death broke.
Eminem, 53, has not publicly commented on the loss.
He recently became a grandfather himself after his daughter Hailie Jade welcomed a son, Elliot Marshall McClintock, with husband Evan McClintock, a name chosen in honour of Marshall Mathers himself.
Prince William and Princess Kate’s only daughter made her most stunning appearance yet as she turned 11 on Saturday, just a week after her little brother marked his own birthday.

Well, that soft launch has officially become a full-blown hard launch.
Sydney Sweeney just made things very Instagram official with Scooter Braun – and fans wasted approximately three seconds before turning the comments section into a full FBI investigation.
The Euphoria star dropped a Stagecoach photo carousel on Friday that looked innocent enough at first: cowboy vibes, festival lights, karaoke chaos. Then came the cuddling photos.
One snapshot showed the pair squeezed together in a photo booth making goofy faces, while another featured Braun literally carrying Sweeney bridal-style through the crowd like this was the final scene of a rom-com nobody saw coming.
There was also a clip of them singing karaoke together and another of Sweeney perched on his shoulders during a performance because apparently subtlety has officially left the chat.
“cowboy kind of weekend,” she captioned the post — which may be the understatement of the year.
Braun had already hinted at the romance weeks earlier after posting Sweeney on his Instagram Story, but this is the clearest confirmation yet that the two are no longer trying to keep things low-key.
The pair reportedly started dating in September 2025 after meeting at the lavish wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice.
Since then, they have been spotted on multiple dates and holding hands publicly.
Now? The internet has officially upgraded them from rumour to relationship status.
The wardrobe is officially open again – and this time, Greta Gerwig is leading the way.
Netflix has finally confirmed the title and release dates for Gerwig’s long-awaited Chronicles of Narnia reboot, and fantasy fans already sound emotionally unwell online.
The first film will be called Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew and arrives in theaters on February 12, 2027, before landing on Netflix on April 2.
And yes, the cast is stacked.
Meryl Streep, Daniel Craig, Carey Mulligan, Emma Mackey and Denise Gough are all set to appear in the fantasy epic based on C.S. Lewis’ classic books.
Gerwig, who writes, directs, and produces the film, got deeply personal while explaining why this story matters to her.
“I was a child when I first read The Magician’s Nephew, and I fell in love with the gorgeously improbable but completely brilliant concept of a cosmic lion singing the world of Narnia to life,” she said.
“I didn’t know that I would grow up to make films… but a universe built out of music is an idea that always lived in my heart.”
Unlike the earlier Narnia movies, Gerwig’s film starts at the very beginning of the timeline, exploring Aslan’s creation of Narnia itself – essentially the fantasy franchise’s origin story.
In other words: Greta Gerwig is about to make an entire generation cry over a lion all over again.
