Maybe Eminem lost himself in the music, the moment, the pontiff or trying to never let ex-wife Kim Mathers go. But three months after re-exchanging vows with his ex-wife, Marshall Bruce Mathers III failed at his second shot at marriage. Employees of Macomb County clerk's office confirmed that Eminem filed for divorce April 5. So in case you live by the sacred tenets of ""Lose Yourself,"" Eminem proved that this opportunity (divorce) does not come once in a lifetime, yo!
