Eminem has officially become a grandfather after his daughter Hailie Jade Scott gave birth to her first child. Scott took to Instagram on Friday, April 4, 2025, to share a photo of her newborn son to celebrate his due date. “Happy due date//3 weeks earthside little e,” she captioned the photo. On a letterboard behind her son, she revealed his name as Elliot Marshall McClintock, alongside his birthday on March 14, 2025. His middle name takes after the 52-year-old rapper whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III.
Scott and her husband Evan McClintock revealed they were expecting their first child together in a music video for Eminem’s song “Temporary.” The video included footage of him walking his daughter down the aisle, as well as the emotional moment she told him she was pregnant. She surprised him with the good news by gifting her father a Detroit Lions jersey, which read “Grandpa” on the back, and an ultrasound photo of Elliot.
Scott and McClintock were married in May 2024. The pair had been dating since 2016 and were engaged by February 2023. According to TMZ, Scott and McClintock tied the knot in a “modestly sized” ceremony held at the Greencrest Manor in Battle Creek, Michigan, where close friends and family were present to watch them say I do. It was a star-studded affair with frequent Eminem collaborators, including Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and Jimmy Iovine.
“Waking up a wife this week,” Hailie captioned a post that featured images from the celebration. “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. 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 28-year-old Just A Little Shady podcast host met McClintock while studying at Michigan State University in 2016, where she majored in psychology. While Scott balances her podcasting duties with influencing, her new husband works as an enterprise growth executive.
In a heartfelt announcement of her pregnancy in October 2024, Hailie Jade Mathers used Eminem's music video for the song “Temporary.” The video featured a montage of old videos and footage of the dad-daughter pair from her childhood to her wedding last May. Toward the end of the video, Mathers presented her dad with a blue Detroit Lions football jersey, complete with “Grandpa” and the number 1 across the back, as well as a sonogram image. Overcome with emotion, Eminem’s eyes widened and teared up while his jaw dropped.
After the video was released, Mathers posted a series of photos of herself and McClintock on her Instagram page looking at the sonogram, writing in the caption that their baby was due next year. On March 9, Mathers shared maternity photos, saying she was getting ready to welcome her son to the world.
Hailie Jade, who hosts the “Just a Little Shady” podcast, has been a consistent figure in Eminem's music, inspiring a handful of her father’s early songs. From the 2002 hit “Hailie’s Song” to “My Dad's Gone Crazy,” which debuted when Jade was just six years old, she has been a prominent presence in Eminem's life and work. Eminem has expressed his pride and love for his daughter through his lyrics over the years.
The birth of Elliot Marshall McClintock marks a new chapter in the lives of both Hailie Jade and Eminem. As the family celebrates this joyous occasion, fans are also rejoicing in the news of the rapper's transition into grandfatherhood. Eminem, who released his 12th studio album, “The Death of Slim Shady,” in 2024, continues to be a significant figure in the music industry while embracing his family life.
With Hailie Jade now a mother, the legacy of Eminem extends into a new generation. As fans eagerly await more updates from the family, it is clear that the bond between Eminem and his daughter remains strong, and this new addition to the family is sure to deepen that connection.
