Eminem, the legendary rapper known for his lyrical brilliance and deep-rooted personal narratives, has officially entered a new chapter in life—becoming a grandfather.
His daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, recently gave birth to her first child, making the 52-year-old music icon a proud “grandpa.” Hailie shared the exciting news with her followers on Instagram, posting an adorable photo of her newborn son in celebration of his due date.
Alongside the picture, she wrote, “Happy due date // 3 weeks earthside little e,” a sweet tribute to the baby who arrived earlier than expected.
The post included a letterboard behind her baby, revealing the full name of her son: Elliot Marshall McClintock. The middle name “Marshall” is a nod to Eminem’s real name, Marshall Bruce Mathers III—honoring the rapper’s legacy in a tender and deeply personal way.
The baby’s birthdate was also included on the board, March 14, further marking this joyous occasion for the Mathers-McClintock family. Though the post was simple and heartfelt, it immediately drew attention and congratulations from fans who have watched Hailie grow up through her father’s music.
Hailie Jade and her husband, Evan McClintock, had announced their pregnancy earlier in a touching and creative way—through a music video for Eminem’s song “Temporary.” The video not only featured the couple’s journey into parenthood but also highlighted deeply emotional moments, including Hailie revealing the news to her father.
In a memorable scene, she surprised Eminem by gifting him a Detroit Lions jersey with “Grandpa” stitched on the back, along with an ultrasound image of baby Elliot. The moment, though private at the time, has since become a symbol of their close-knit bond and emotional growth as a family.
Their announcement video also showcased scenes from Hailie’s wedding, including the poignant moment Eminem walked her down the aisle. Hailie and Evan were married in May 2024 after dating for nearly eight years. Their relationship began in 2016 while both were students at Michigan State University.
Hailie was majoring in psychology at the time, and the two quickly formed a strong connection that stood the test of time. By February 2023, Evan proposed, and the couple began planning their dream wedding.
According to reports from TMZ, their wedding took place at the stunning Greencrest Manor in Battle Creek, Michigan. The ceremony was modest in size but grand in emotional depth, with close family and friends present to witness the union.
Despite being a relatively private affair, the wedding still had star power. Eminem’s longtime collaborators Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and music executive Jimmy Iovine were all in attendance, creating an unforgettable blend of personal intimacy and industry camaraderie.
Shortly after the ceremony, Hailie took to social media to express her overwhelming gratitude and happiness. Posting a carousel of images from the wedding, she wrote, “Waking up a wife this week.” She continued, “We couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful weekend celebration. So, so many happy tears were shed, laughs and smiles were had, and so much love was felt.”
Her heartfelt message painted a vivid picture of the love and joy that surrounded them on their big day.
In another emotional message, Hailie thanked everyone who made the celebration so special. “Evan and I are feeling so grateful for all of the family and friends that traveled to support us and be a part of this new chapter of our lives as husband and wife,” she said.
The message revealed not just her joy at getting married but also her appreciation for the love and support they received throughout the years. For a young couple stepping into both marriage and parenthood in such a short time, the journey has been both swift and profound.
Beyond her role as a wife and now mother, Hailie has carved out a career of her own. At 28, she hosts the podcast Just A Little Shady—a nod to her father’s iconic alter ego, Slim Shady. The podcast dives into pop culture and life updates, and showcases her witty, charismatic personality.
She also maintains a strong presence as a social media influencer, balancing her personal and professional lives with remarkable grace. Meanwhile, Evan McClintock, her husband, works as an enterprise growth executive, bringing a business-savvy perspective to their growing household.
Despite being the daughter of one of the most influential rappers in the world, Hailie has maintained a level of independence and normalcy in her public life. Her relationship with her father has always been close, often referenced in Eminem’s music.
Songs like “Hailie’s Song” and “Mockingbird” give fans a glimpse into the emotional depths of their bond. Eminem has spoken in past interviews about how fatherhood shaped his music and life choices, and becoming a grandfather is likely another deeply emotional milestone for him.
With the arrival of baby Elliot Marshall McClintock, the Mathers family enters a new era. Hailie and Evan’s love story has grown from college sweethearts to partners in life and now parents.
For Eminem, this marks a full-circle moment—watching his daughter, once the subject of his most heartfelt verses, start a family of her own. The legacy continues, not just through music, but through love, family, and the quiet strength that has always defined them.
