Rapper and songwriter Eminem has become a grandpa after his beloved daughter Hailie Jade Scott and her husband Evan McClintock welcomed a baby boy.
The couple announced their son’s birth via an Instagram post on Friday, revealing the infant’s date of birth and name.
Eminem would be exceedingly delighted to be a grandpa. The “Houdini” rapper shared his excitement in a music video late last year, showing how Scott told him she was expecting her first baby.
On Friday, Scott posted pictures of her adorable infant son. In the snaps, the adorable baby wore a light blue hooded sweater.
He lay in front of a sign with his full name, “Elliot Marshall McClintock,” and date of birth, “03.14.25.”
Scott paid tribute to her dad with her son’s middle name, Marshall, as Eminem’s real name is Marshall Mathers.
In the post’s caption, the proud mom wrote, “happy due date//3 weeks earthside little e.”
Many fans took turns congratulating Scott on her son’s birth, with some also praising her dad, Eminem.
One fan wrote, “Em stood on business for his kids, and now he’s a Grandpa. We love this. Congrats girl!”
Another fan commented, “Most perfect angel in the whole world.”
A third person added, “Not me tearing up at the middle name like I’m related.”
Meanwhile, one fan pointed out how baby Elliot’s initials, EMM, were closely related to his grandpa’s stage name.
They wrote, “His initials are EM & M. Genius! What a little cutie.”
A fifth fan gushed, “Bro has the coolest grandpa,” while another added, “Welcome baby shady!!”
Before welcoming Elliot, Scott spoke about her excitement at becoming a mom during the last episode of the “Just a Little Shady” podcast.
During the episode, she joked that her son is her “dream podcast guest” before adding, “It’s so weird to think about… I can’t even wrap my head around it.”
Scott also said, “I have to meet this human that I’ve created. What’s he gonna look like? What’s he gonna … what’s his personality gonna be like? It’s so strange but super exciting.”
Eminem couldn’t hide his excitement about becoming a first-time grandpa. In October 2024, he released an emotional music video for his song “Temporary.”
