Time flies—Eminem is officially a grandpa!
Hailie Jade Mathers, the rapper’s only biological daughter, has welcomed her first child with her husband, Evan McClintock. The couple announced the birth of their baby boy, Elliot Marshall McClintock, on March 14, 2025, but shared the news publicly on April 4 through an Instagram post.
“Happy due date // 3 weeks earthside little e 🤍,” Hailie captioned two adorable photos of her newborn.
A Special Nod to Eminem in the Baby’s Name
Fans were quick to notice that Elliot’s middle name, Marshall, pays tribute to his famous grandfather, Marshall Bruce Mathers III—better known as Eminem. Even more fitting, the baby’s initials spell E.M.M., a subtle reference to the legendary rapper’s stage name.
Social media erupted with reactions:
💬 “His initials are EM & M. Genius! What a little cutie.”
😂 “Not me tearing up at the middle name like I’m related.”
🤯 “Damn, we getting old. Slim Shady is a grandpa.”
Eminem First Reacted to the Pregnancy in His Music Video
Fans may remember that Eminem first revealed Hailie’s pregnancy in his October 2024 music video, “Temporary.” In the video, an emotional moment showed Hailie surprising her dad with a Detroit Lions jersey personalized with “Grandpa” on the back.
A Love Story That Started in College
Hailie and Evan, who met while attending Michigan State University in 2016, got engaged in February 2023 and tied the knot in May 2024. Their intimate wedding at Greencrest Manor in Battle Creek, Michigan, was attended by close friends and family—including Eminem, who shared a touching father-daughter dance with the bride.
Eminem’s Family Life Beyond Hailie
While Hailie is Eminem’s only biological child with Kim Scott, the rapper also adopted:
👧 Alaina Mathers – Kim’s late sister’s daughter, whom he took in due to her mother’s struggles with addiction.
🧑 Stevie Mathers – Kim’s child from another relationship, adopted by Eminem during their second marriage.
With the arrival of baby Elliot, it’s a whole new chapter for Eminem—not just as a rap legend but as a proud grandfather.
