Beloved rap icon Eminem has entered a new stage of life: becoming a grandfather.
His daughter, Hailie Jade, announced through Instagram that she had welcomed her first child, a baby boy named Elliot, on March 14.
“3 weeks earthside little e,” Jade shared with her 4 million followers, posting heart-warming pictures of her son clad in an adorable knit hoodie adorned with bear ears.
The choice of Elliot's middle name, Marshall, echoing Eminem's birth name, is a touching tribute to the rapper who has left an indelible mark on the music industry.
This milestone comes just months after Jade married her longtime partner, Evan McClintock, in a modest yet star-studded ceremony at the Greencrest Manor in Battle Creek, Michigan, in May 2024.
With close friends and family in attendance, including notable figures such as Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and Jimmy Iovine, the wedding festivities were nothing short of spectacular.
Reflecting on her special day, Jade expressed her gratitude to those who supported them during this pivotal moment.
“Waking up a wife this week,” she shared, alongside photos from the celebration. “We couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful weekend celebration. So, so many happy tears were shed, laughs and smiles were had, and so much love was felt.”
Jade's pregnancy journey captured the hearts of many, beginning with an announcement that coincided with the release of Eminem's October music video, "Temporary".
The visuals included ultrasound images and a customised Detroit Lions jersey declaring “GRANDPA,” a heart-warming nod to the evolution of Eminem's family life.
At 29, Jade is the daughter of Eminem and his ex-wife, Kim Scott.
Having been a significant source of inspiration for her father's early music, she contributed to the hook of his iconic track “My Dad's Gone Crazy” at the tender age of six.
Her journey in the spotlight also earned her a Guinness World Record for being the youngest R&B Chart Entrant.
The rapper has frequently cited fatherhood as a transformative experience, revealing that it served as a profound wake-up call.
Through tracks like “Hailie’s Song”, released in 2002, Eminem has often reflected on his unconditional love for his daughter.
“My baby girl keeps getting older / I watch her grow up with pride,” he rapped.
His reflections demonstrate the impact fatherhood has had on his life, with the arrival of his first grandchild marking yet another evolution in his journey.
As Eminem embraces this new role, fans are eager to witness how this next chapter unfolds for the Mathers family.
With a legacy of creativity and love for his children, grandchildren are sure to bring even more joy and inspiration to the rapper.
