Eminem's 19-year-old child has come out as non-binary this week in a new social media post made to their fans.

According to The Independent, Stevie Laine, who the 48-year-old rapper adopted back in 2005 after reconciling with their mother Kim Scot, made the announcement in a post on their TikTok account.

In it, they asked their followers to address them by the name Stevie, in lieu of their given name Whitney, and made it clear that they would be using they/them pronouns from now on.

Take a look at Stevie's coming out video right here:

The video itself was captioned: "Watch me become more comfortable with myself," and the footage shows pictures of Stevie throughout the years captioned with she/her pronouns.

However, at the 19-second mark, the pronouns change to her/they before more photos are displayed, revealing that they now accept all pronouns as they are non-binary.

A number of Stevie's fans have since taken to the comments of their post to congratulate them on coming out and celebrate the reveal.
