Guess who's calling Eminem “Grandpa” now?
Rap icon Eminem—real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III—has officially entered a new life chapter as a grandfather. His daughter Hailie Jade, 29, welcomed her first child, a baby boy named Elliot Marshall McClintock, on March 14, she revealed on Instagram this Friday.
In a post captioned “happy due date // 3 weeks earthside little e,” Hailie shared the news alongside a series of tender photos. The baby’s middle name Marshall pays direct homage to his grandfather—and fans were quick to point out that the newborn’s initials, E.M.M., read like a cheeky nod to Eminem himself. That’s right: baby EM&M is officially in the building.
The surprise bundle of joy had actually been teased months ago in Eminem’s October music video for “Temporary,” a deeply personal track dedicated to Hailie. In one touching moment, the video shows Hailie presenting her dad with a blue jumper reading “Grandpa 1” and an ultrasound photo, capturing his stunned and emotional reaction.
Hailie, Eminem’s only biological child with ex-wife Kim Scott, has largely kept her life low-key, but this announcement had fans both nostalgic and emotional. The Mathers family just grew by one—tiny hands, big legacy.
Looks like Slim Shady just leveled up to Gramps Shady.
