Eminem now a grandfather as daughter welcomes baby named after the Rap legend
The Real Slim Shady, best-selling rapper Eminem, is now officially a grandfather as daughter Hailie Jade Scott, 29, and her husband, Evan McClintock, have welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Elliot Marshall McClintock, born on March 14, 2025.
Hailie shared the sweet news with fans on Instagram, posting an adorable photo of baby Elliot dressed in a knit hoodie, lying peacefully in front of a name sign that reads “Elliot Marshall McClintock.” She captioned the post, “happy due date // 3 weeks earthside little e 🤍.”
Fans were quick to point out that the baby’s initials (E.M & M) also appear to be a clever nod to Hailie’s father, Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, as noted by the Rolling Stone.
Although Eminem hasn’t made public comments on the birth, his 2024 music video for “Temporary” gave fans an insight of his emotional response to the news of his daughter’s pregnancy. At the end of the heartwarming video, his daughter gives him a blue baby jersey with the words “Grandpa” and a sonogram. The rapper’s look of shock and tears said it all.
As a profoundly personal message to Hailie, the song, which is included on Eminem’s most recent album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), incorporates rare and tender videos from family occasions that have taken place over the years.
Though Hailie kept much of her pregnancy private, she opened up on the final episode of season three of her podcast Just a Little Shady, recorded shortly before giving birth. “It’s so weird to think about… I can’t even wrap my head around it,” she said, as reported by Yahoo. “I have to meet this human that I’ve created. What’s he gonna look like? What’s his personality gonna be like? It’s strange but super exciting.”
The couple previously revealed they were expecting a baby boy during a November 2024 podcast episode, complete with a joyful blue-confetti balloon pop. “When we found out, Evan was like, ‘They’re going to hunt with me. They’re going to go golfing with me. I’ve got a little buddy,’” Hailie shared.
