From rap battles to baby rattles—Eminem has officially entered his grandpa era! The 51-year-old music legend, known for his sharp lyrics and iconic alter ego Slim Shady, is now basking in the glow of grandparenthood after his daughter, Hailie Jade, gave birth to her first child with longtime partner Evan McClintock.
Hailie, now a proud first-time mom, shared the heart-melting news on Instagram, posting sweet photos of her newborn son dressed in a tiny grey hoodie. But the real show-stealer? A little letter board above him that read: “Elliot Marshall McClintock.” Cue the collective awws from the internet!
Born on March 14, baby Elliot recently turned three weeks old, and Hailie marked the moment with a touching caption: “Happy due date//3 weeks earthside, little e.” Naturally, fans flooded the comments with love. One emotional fan wrote, “His middle name, I’m crying; he’s so precious.” Another eagle-eyed follower pointed out the genius behind the baby’s initials: “His initials are EM & M. Genius! What a little cutie.” And yes, the third summed it up perfectly: “Not me tearing up at the middle name like I’m related.”
The pregnancy reveal wasn’t just a casual moment—it was music-video official. Eminem himself broke the news in his “Temporary” music video, where a sweet behind-the-scenes moment showed Hailie giving her dad a custom jersey with “Grandpa” written on the back. Who needs baby announcements when you have rap visuals?
As for the new dad, Evan is all in and already dreaming of daddy duties. Hailie previously joked about Evan’s excitement, saying, “Evan was like, ‘They’re going to hunt with me. They’re going to go golfing with me.’” Hailie, of course, had her own plans: “I was like, ‘OK, well, they’re still going to Target with me.’” A parenting balance we love to see.
Evan added, laughing, “Whether it was a girl or boy, I would’ve made them do it. Or hoped they’d want to, at least.”
Hailie and Evan have been together for seven years, proving that not only does love win—it also sometimes comes with tiny grey hoodies and initials that scream legacy.
