Eminem is embracing a new chapter in his life as a grandfather
In his latest music video for the song “Temporary,” rapper Eminem subtly reveals that his daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers, is expecting her first child. The video, which dropped Thursday, features a sweet moment where Hailie , 28, hands her dad a Detroit Lions jersey with “grandpa” emblazoned on the back, making the exciting news public. In one touching moment in the video, Haley, who is also a musician and podcaster, Father is gifted with a blue shirt with “Grandpa” written on the back. He is visibly surprised as Eminem holds up a sonogram photo, while Hailey smiles and laughs at his reaction.
The music video includes a heartwarming montage of childhood home videos including a clip of Haley’s recent wedding to her husband Evan McClintock. Eminem dedicates the song to Hailie, speaking passionately about the circle of life: “So Hailie Jade, I wrote this song to help you deal with life after I’m gone.”
Hailie Jade, who hosts the “Just a Little Shady” podcast, married her longtime partner Evan McClintock in May. The couple had a low-key wedding at Greencrest Manor in Battle Creek, Michigan, attended by close friends and family. One of the wedding’s standout moments was the father-daughter dance between Eminem and Hailey, captured in a heartwarming photo that showed the two sharing a special moment on the dance floor.
Eminem’s fans flooded the comments section of his YouTube video with congratulatory messages. Comments praised the rapper for his dedication to being a father, with one fan writing, “Eminem is a real one. Congrats on being a grandpa.” Another added, “Eminem becoming a grandfather is the most beautiful news I’ve heard today. It made me cry.”
After the video was released, Hailey shared a series of photos on her Instagram showing herself and McClintock looking at a sonogram and announcing that their baby is due next year.
Hailie Jade and McClintock married in February 2023, after meeting at Michigan State University in 2016. Their wedding was a simple but elegant affair, with Hailie stunning in a mermaid-style white gown, while McClintock wore a classic tuxedo. Although Eminem and Hailie’s reps have yet to comment on the pregnancy announcement, fans are excited for the new chapter in their lives.
Hailie expressed her joy on Instagram, saying, “Woke up to the wife this week. We couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful weekend celebration. Lots of happy tears, smiles and laughs. There was, and so much love felt.” This will be the couple’s first child.
