Eminem has revealed that he finds it difficult to date women because of his position in the public eye.

The rapper, who twice married childhood sweetheart Kimberley Anne Scott, admitted that he struggled with “trust issues”.

“With women, friends, whatever,” he said. “You always wonder what their real motives are. I’ve got a small circle of friends, and it’s a lot of the same friends I’ve known forever.”

Asked in an interview with Rolling Stones whether he dated, Eminem replied:” Not really. As far as going out, like dinner and a movie - I just can’t.

“Going out in public is just too crazy. I mean, I’d like to be in a relationship again someday. Who doesn’t? It’s just hard to meet new people, in my position.”

Eminem also discusses his past problems with drugs and estranged relationship with his father during the interview.
