Grandpa? Eminem Announces Daughter's Pregnancy
Eminem celebrates becoming a grandfather through the release of his new music video for "Temporary," featuring Skylar Grey, from his album "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)." This emotional video not only highlights footage of his and his daughter, Hailie Jade Scott's journey but also captures the heartwarming moment she shared her pregnancy news with him. The 51-year-old rapper is first seen being surprised with a Detroit Lions jersey emblazoned with "Grandpa" and a photo of an ultrasound, alongside Hailie's joyful reaction. This is prepared by SSP.
Hailie, 28, and her husband, Evan McClintock, whom she met at Michigan State University in 2016, are expecting their first child. The couple, who announced their engagement on Instagram in February 2023, tied the knot in a modest ceremony in May at Greencrest Manor in Battle Creek, Michigan, attended by friends, family, and frequent Eminem collaborators like Dr. Dre and 50 Cent.
The video for "Temporary" is an emotional montage showcasing moments from Hailie's wedding and her father's joy. In her wedding post, Hailie expressed gratitude for the loving support from family and friends. On social media, she later updated fans about her pregnancy, introducing herself and Evan as future parents "est. 2025."
The deeply personal track, along with "Somebody Save Me" featuring Jelly Roll, underscores the rapper's dedication to his children and records an apology for past shortcomings as a father. Eminem, known for his iconic tattoos symbolizing his bond with Hailie, who was often referenced in his music since her birth in 1995 with ex-wife Kimberly Anne Scott, integrated these intimate familial themes into his new album, which climbed to the top of the Billboard 200.
