Will the real Marshall Mathers please stand up?
Eminem is officially a grandfather! The rapper’s daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, welcomed her first child, a baby boy named Elliot Marshall McClintock, on March 14 with husband Evan McClintock. Elliot’s middle name, Marshall, pays tribute to his grandfather, who was born Marshall Mathers III.
Scott shared a series of snapshots of her bundle of joy on Instagram in celebration of his “three weeks earthside.”
The Real Slim Shady revealed he would be Grandpa Shady late last year in the music video for his song “Temporary.” The video consisted of archival home footage of Scott, now 29, as a young child, complete with vignettes from her recent wedding to McClintock in May 2024. Scott presented her father with a jersey that says “grandpa” in the music video before surprising him with an ultrasound photo of baby Elliot.

On an October 2024 episode of her podcast, Just a Little Shady, Scott and her best friend and podcast cohost, Brittany Ednie, recalled hiding news of her pregnancy during her wedding. “People did not know that she was pregnant,” Ednie said. “So she was grabbing a drink, not consuming the drink as a responsible parent does. Whenever people were turned around, she would hand me her drink, and I would chug so it looked as if she was continuously drinking throughout that night.”

Eminem is also a father to Alaina and Stevie Laine Scott, whom he helped raise with ex-wife Kim Scott. “Takin’ the kids to school, pickin’ ’em up, teachin’ ’em rules. I’m not sayin’ I’m the perfect father, but the most important thing is to be there for my kids and raise them the right way,” the rapper said of fatherhood in a conversation with Rolling Stone in 2004. He has also credited his children for helping him remain sober, telling New York Times Magazine that they’ve “helped me through so many things.”
