Eminem, 51, Shares Unexpected Joy at Becoming a Grandfather After Daughter Hailie Jade, 28, Reveals Pregnancy!
The 28-year-old is expecting her first baby with her husband Evan McClintock
Eminem is going to be a grandpa!
On Thursday, Oct. 3, the rapper, 51, released a touching music video for his song “Temporary,” which features dozens of old home videos of his daughter Hailie Jade Scott, 28.
Towards the end of the video, the proud dad shared a video of Hailie Jade revealing to him that she’s expecting her first baby with her husband, Evan McClintock.
The influencer and podcaster hands her dad a blue football jersey that read “Grandpa” and the number 1, as well as a sonogram image. Eminem’s jaw drops and eyes widen as he tears up at the happy news.
A rep for Eminem did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
On Feb. 4, 2023, Hailie Jade got engaged to her longtime boyfriend McClintock. She and McClintock dated for six years before their engagement after meeting at Michigan State University in 2016.
“Casual weekend recap … 😭💗 2.4.23 💍 i love you @evanmcclintock11,” she captioned a photo of McClintock down on one knee and a photo of her sparkly diamond ring.

In an interview on Hailie Jade’s Just a Little Shady podcast, McClintock revealed that during Hailie Jade’s birthday party in December 2022, he asked for Eminem’s blessing to propose.
“I saw your dad go downstairs, and I’m like, ‘I gotta do it right now, or I’m not doing it today, and I’m gonna have to schedule another time,’ ” he remembered. “So I just followed him downstairs, and, thankfully, he was just down there getting your cake and made it happen.”
