Eminem’s Daughter Hailie Jade Honors Her Father While Revealing Baby Boy’s Middle Name
Hailie Jade welcomed her first child in March.
Eminem’s daughter, Hailie Jade, announced on Friday (April 4) that she gave birth to her first child in March — and she revealed her son’s name, which pays homage to her “Rap God” father.
Slim Shady is officially a grandpa. “Happy due date//3 weeks earthside little e,” Hailie wrote to Instagram alongside a photo of the baby boy. “Elliot Marshall McClintock 3.14.25,” a headboard in the photo reads. Marshall Mathers is Eminem’s real name, so Elliot will carry his grandfather’s legacy through his middle name.
Fans were very emotional to find out that the child’s middle name honors Eminem, along with his initials being EMM. “His initials are EM & M Genius! What a little cutie,” one person wrote while another fan added: “Not me tearing up at the middle name like I’m related.”
Hailie Jade has been with her husband Evan McClintock since 2016. The couple got engaged in 2023 and tied the knot last May.
Another heartwarming moment came in October when Hailie surprised Eminem with the fact that he was going to be a grandpa, which was used as a scene in Em’s “Temporary” music video. In the clip, Em is gifted a Detroit Lions jersey with “Grandpa” inscribed across the nameplate and photos of his pregnant daughter’s sonogram.
“Temporary” landed on Em’s The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) last summer and the vulnerable track debuted at No. 56 on the Billboard Hot 100.“I audibly sobbed … I think for both songs, but especially ‘Temporary,'” Hailie Jade said on an episode of her Just a Little Shady podcast. She also praised Em and her mother, Kim Scott, for “doing such a good job” of parenting while shielding her from “how bad things were” between them.
