Eminem Becomes a Grandfather at 53
Rapper Eminem, known for his deep affection for his daughter, has embraced grandfatherhood at the age of 53. On April 4, 2025, his daughter Hailie Jade Scott Mathers shared a photo of her newborn on social media, announcing, "Our baby, born three weeks ago." Hailie welcomed her first son with husband Evan McClintock, just nine months after their wedding in May of the previous year.
The baby, named Elliott Marshall McClintock, was born on March 14. The choice of the middle name 'Marshall' is particularly noteworthy, as it reflects Eminem's real name, Marshall Bruce Mathers III. It appears Hailie took her father's name into consideration when naming her son.
Hailie and Evan have been together since 2016, having met as college sweethearts at Michigan State University, where they both studied economics. Evan is currently reported to be an executive at a software development company.
Eminem, who had Hailie with his high school girlfriend Kimberly, married her in 1995. However, their tumultuous relationship led to a divorce in 2001, during which Eminem also adopted another daughter he had from an affair. He fought for custody of Hailie during the divorce proceedings and ultimately won.
The rapper has often expressed his love for Hailie in his music, with songs like 'Hailie's Song' and 'Mockingbird' showcasing his devotion. Now, as a grandfather in his 50s, Eminem continues to bring smiles to his fans.
