The results are in! Eminem is going to be a doting grandfather to an adorable baby…
Boy! His daughter, Hailie Jade, revealed on Friday (Oct. 11) on her podcast, Just A Little Shady, that she’s expecting a son with husband Evan McClintock.
The couple shared the gender of their newborn by popping a gold balloon filled with blue confetti.
“Evan only comes on for monumental moments and this is a big one because we are having a baby,” Hailie explained of his special appearance. She admitted that she told her family first and “it kinda worked out perfectly.”
The 28-year-old shared the news on the same day as the Detroit Lions’ football season opener, which was also coincidentally National Grandparents’ Day. As previously reported, Slim Shady was given a Lions jersey with “Grandpa” on the back, as seen in the “Temporary” video.
“That was my dad’s genuine reaction to finding out about [my pregnancy] because I ended up giving him the jersey,” she explained of the snippet in the visual. Evan chimed in, adding, “It didn’t actually hit him until you pulled out the [sonogram].”
Hailie continued, “He was like ‘Are you tryna call me old? Why are you giving me this jersey that says grandpa?’ And then I pulled out the ultrasound picture.” Even the cameraperson was surprised and exclaimed, “What the f**k is going on here? Is this real?” They all initially assumed it was a joke for the video, and the audio for the actual reaction video was later muted.
However, she was thrilled about the impromptu full circle moment. “Our plan the whole time was to do the ‘Grandpa’ jersey. It wasn’t for that timing to be with the video. It just worked out. [We] couldn’t have planned it better and now the moment is on video forever,” Hailie shared.
Eminem’s grandson is expected to arrive in 2025.
