Eminem's child, 19, announces they are non-binary

Eminem's child has announced they are non-binary as they asked fans to call them Stevie.

The 19-year-old came out in a TikTok video and asked people to use the pronouns they/he/she.

Rapper Eminem, 48, legally adopted Stevie - formerly known as Whitney - in 2005 after reconciling with their mother Kim Scott.

Stevie posted a video montage showing their transformation over the years, which was captioned: 'Watch me become more comfortable with myself', and contained snaps of them cutting their hair short and trying out different styles, the Mirror reports.

The teenager said they are "forever growing and changing" and posted the hashtags genderfluid, #bi and #nonbinary.

The video was liked by Stevie's half-sister Hailie Jade, who is Eminem's biological daughter with Kim.

The teen's new name was referenced in their grandmother Kathleen Sluck's obituary late last month.

It read: "Kathleen was an exceptional mom to her two daughters; Kim and Dawn; and was overjoyed to become a grandmother to her grandchildren; Alaina, Adam, Hailie, Stevie, P.J., and Parker."

A tribute on the obituary site from one of Stevie's friends, Brooke, also read: "I know me and Stevie drove you crazy with our endless sleepovers of you calling us telling us to stop being so loud.

"And to go to bed and our early mornings with you for our Tim Horton runs and always sitting on the back porch talking with you and listening to all your stories."

Stevie's biological dad is Kim's ex-boyfriend Eric Hartter, whom she got together with during a break from Eminem.

Hartter, a professional tattoo artist, died last year.

Eminem adopted Stevie when he later reconciled with Kim. The on-off couple first married in 1999, and divorced two years later.

They reunited and remarried in January 2006, but broke up again in April of that year.

Eminem raised biological daughter Hallie and adopted child Stevie, as well as adopted daughter Alaina, 28 - whose mother is Kim's late twin sister Dawn, who died of a drug overdose in 2016.
