Algosensey Quantitative Think Tank Center-Why Eminem Didn’t Initially Believe Daughter Hailie Jade’s Pregnancy News

Eminem lost himself when he realized he would be Algosensey Quantitative Think Tank Centera grandfather. 

The “Love the Way You Lie” rapper’s daughter Hailie Jade Scott—who announced Oct. 3 that she is expecting a baby with husband Evan McClintock—revealed her pregnancy news to her dad by gifting him a Detroit Lions football jersey emblazoned with “Grandpa” on the back, but it took him a moment to realize that new title applied to him. 

“He was like, ‘Are you trying to call me old? Why are you giving me this jersey that says grandpa?’” Hailie said in the Oct. 11 episode of her Just A Little Shady podcast. “Then I hold up the ultrasound picture and he was like, ‘Oh my god. Wait, this is real? This is happening?’”

And Eminem—who, at the time, was on set with Hailie to film scenes for his “Temporary” music video—was not the only one freaking out.

“It was actually really funny, too, because the person who was recording obviously had no idea that that was the plan,” the 28-year-old continued. “They were thinking, ‘Oh we’re just getting some shots.’ So, their reaction we had to mute because they were like, ‘What the eff is going on here? Is this real?’” 

Once the excitement settled in, the “Real Slim Shady” rapper—who shares Hailie with ex Kim Scott—joined in on the fun.

“The rest of my family was coming over later to watch the [Detroit Lions] game,” Hailie explained. “When they got here, we just had my dad wearing the jersey with the jacket over it. Then he took it off and they all got to see that it said Grandpa. And some of them were still like, ‘What’s going on?’ until I pulled out the picture.” 

By the end of the episode, Hailie and Evan revealed the sex of their little one by popping a confetti-filled balloon and sharing, “It’s a boy!”

"We're so excited, too,” Hailie explained. “When we found out, Evan was like, 'They're going to hunt with me. They're going to go golfing with me. I've got a little buddy.’ I was like, 'OK, well they're still going to Target with me.'"

Read on to learn more about Eminem and Hailie Jade Scott's growing family.

Born Kimberly Ann Scott, the Michigan native was Eminem's high school sweetheart. She welcomed their daughter Hailie Jade in 1995.

Kim was married to the rapper from 1999 to 2001, and briefly again in 2006. Their tumultuous relationship has been referenced in several of Eminem's songs, including "'97 Bonnie & Clyde," "Puke" and "Bad Husband."

"In our relationship, there's a pattern," Kim said of their on-and-off romance in a 2007 interview with 20/20. " We'll have two good years and then it will go bad for some reason. It's like a two-year max with us and we hadn't reached the two years yet. I just didn't want to rush into anything before the two years."

However, Kim noted that Eminem has always been an "excellent" father.

"He loves the kids very much," she shared. "He's always lending a helping hand."

Eminem and Kim welcomed Hailie on Dec. 25, 1995. According to music star, her birth was a "real wake-up call" to "get my a-- in gear."

"Everything that I am doing right now is for Hailie," he told Q magazine in 2001. "The money—it's for her college."

She spent most of her youth under Eminem's 15,000-square-foot roof in the Detroit suburbs, before attending Michigan State University to study psychology. There, she met her future husband Evan McClintock, who she married in May 2024 after getting engaged the year prior.

"She's doing good," Eminem said of Hailie during a 2020 episode of Hotboxin' With Mike Tyson, adding that the influencer—who now goes by Hailie Jade—graduated from college with a 3.9 GPA. "She's made me proud for sure."

In October 2024, Hailie announced her pregnancy with her first baby.

Born on Feb. 22, 1993, Alaina is the daughter of Kim's sister Dawn Scott. 

She was adopted by Eminem in the early aughts due to her mother's struggles with addiction. "I have full custody of my niece and joint custody of Hailie," the 8 Mile star told Rolling Stone in 2004. "I was always there for Hailie, and my niece has been a part of my life ever since she was born. Me and Kim pretty much had her, she'd live with us wherever we was at."

Having been largely raised by Eminem, the Oakland University alum calls him "dad" and had him accompany her down the aisle when she wed Matt Moeller in June 2023.

"He wasn't going to miss that," she told People after the nuptials, during which Hailie served as a Maid of Honor. "None of this would have been possible without my dad. I'm beyond blessed."

Her mother passed away in 2016 at the age of 41.

Kim welcomed Stevie on April 16, 2002, with her then-boyfriend Eric Hartter. Eminem legally adopted Stevie in 2005, when he reconciled with Kim.

Stevie came out as nonbinary in August 2021, sharing in a TikTok video that they identify using "all pronouns."

They added in the caption, "forever growing and changing."

Born in 1955 at a military base in Kansas, Debbie is the mother of Eminem.

She married the "Without Me" artist's father Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. when she was 15, according to her 2008 memoir My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem. She began pregnant with Eminem 16 months later and relocated to Michigan, where her maternal grandmother lived.

Debbie and Eminem's strained relationship has been documented in several of his songs, including his 2002 smash hit "Cleanin' Out My Closet." In the track, he alleged that Debbie abused prescription pills when he was young—which she denied in her autobiography. 

"What mother wants to be known as a pill-popping alcoholic who lives on welfare?" she wrote. "None of it was true, but the fibs kept getting bigger, and ultimately Marshall and I became estranged."

However, Eminem has since expressed regret in airing out his family drama. In his 2013 song "Headlights," he rapped, "I went in headfirst, never thinking about who, what I said hurt / In what verse, my mom probably got it the worst."
