Eminem Welcomes Grandson

Eminem has a new title to add to his storied legacy—grandfather.

His daughter, Hailie Jade, introduced her newborn son, Elliot Marshall McClintock, to the world on Friday. She shared two photos on her verified Instagram page, featuring a birth announcement board that listed his name and birthdate: March 14, 2025. The quiet reveal immediately sparked excitement among fans who have followed her journey from childhood to motherhood.

The baby’s middle name pays tribute to his grandfather, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, whose life and career have long intertwined with Hailie’s. From early raps to vulnerable lyrics, Eminem often placed her at the center of his music, revealing a complex blend of protectiveness and pride. Now, their relationship enters a new chapter.

News of Hailie’s pregnancy first surfaced in October 2024. In a touching private moment she later recounted, she surprised her father with a custom “Grandpa” shirt and a photo of the sonogram. It was a surreal transition for the Detroit rapper, who built an entire generation of lyrics around fatherhood’s chaos and beauty. Now, the man once known for his rage and rebellion has stepped into the quieter, gentler role of grandfather.

Hailie, now 29, married her longtime partner Evan McClintock in May 2024. McClintock, a business executive, has kept a low public profile, but their relationship has remained steady for years. The couple’s wedding was an intimate affair, away from the limelight that defined Hailie’s early years. Their growing family represents a shift from the public turbulence that once surrounded Eminem’s name.

Shortly before giving birth, Hailie reflected on her upcoming motherhood during the Season 3 finale of her podcast, Just a Little Shady. Speaking with cohost Brittany Ednie, she admitted she was still processing the magnitude of becoming a mother. “I have to meet this human that I’ve created,” she said. “What’s he gonna look like?” Her voice held the disbelief and wonder that often comes with first-time parenthood.

That vulnerability offers a stark contrast to the image many have of Hailie from Eminem’s lyrics. She has spent the past decade shaping her own identity—first as a college student, then as a podcast host and wellness influencer, and now as a parent. Her life today is far removed from the chaotic headlines that followed her father’s early fame.

Hailie is Eminem’s daughter with ex-wife Kimberly Scott, a figure immortalized in many of his early tracks. Their volatile relationship once played out in public through music and media coverage, but in recent years, both have receded from that spotlight.

Elliot’s arrival marks a new era not just for Hailie, but also for Eminem. The rapper who once raged against the world now has a grandson carrying his name forward. For someone who once built a mythos on pain, survival, and fatherhood, this next chapter offers something unfamiliar: peace. And perhaps, redemption in the soft rhythm of a newborn’s cry.
