Eminem is officially a grandpa! Yes, his daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers, welcomed her first child, a baby boy, with husband Evan McClintock, and paid a touching tribute to her famous father. Hailie announced the arrival of Elliot Marshall McClintock on Instagram, revealing he was born on March 14. “Happy due date // 3 weeks earthside little e ,” she captioned adorable photos of their newborn. Fans were quick to spot the sweet nod in his name, “Marshall,” as a middle name, honoring her dad, whose full name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III.
The initials “E.M..” also drew love from followers, with one commenting, “His initials are EM & M. Genius!” The world first learned of Hailie’s pregnancy when Eminem included the moment in his “Temporary” music video last October. The emotional scene showed Hailie presenting him with a Detroit Lions jersey labeled “Grandpa.”
Hailie and Evan, who met at Michigan State University and began dating in 2016, got married in May 2024. She was secretly expecting at the time, an adorable secret shared later by her best friend on Hailie’s podcast, Just a Little Shady.
With the arrival of baby Elliot, Eminem has entered a brand-new chapter, not just as a rap legend and devoted father, but now as a proud and loving grandfather.
