Eminem’s daughter, Hailey Jade recently revealed that she and husband Evan McClintock are expecting their first child together.
The Hip-Hop icon and his 28 year old daughter are known to share a deep bond, with the rapper expressing their closeness through his music on multiple occasions.
UK’s Metro reports: “Hailie is mentioned in more than 20 of Eminem’s songs, including Hailie’s Song, My Dad’s Gone Crazy, Kim, 97 Bonnie & Clyde, Beautiful and My Darling.”
“In his 90s/00s music, Eminem often rapped about his daughter Hailie and was very vocal about the problems he had with her mother Kim.”
A day after sharing that she is a mum-to-be, Hailie has opened up about “the hilarious” way she kept her pregnancy secret during her May wedding.
It involved pretending to consume alcohol, while in fact, only drinking lemonade throughout the event.
Her friend, Brittany Ednie, with whom she shares a podcast, Just A Little Shady, said: “So she was, you know, 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.”
Hailey said: “I never actually asked you to do it, it was like an unspoken thing with our eyes.”
Eminem was in the dark about the pregnancy all along, until she surprised him and let him know he would be becoming a grandfather during the filming of his music video for a new track, Temporary, which dropped October 3.
“The poignant video includes a timeline of father and daughter moments, capped off by a touching scene where she gifts him a blue jumper emblazoned with ‘Grandpa 1’ and shows him her sonogram a snapshot she later shared with her followers on Instagram, alongside her husband Evan McClintock,” Mirror reports.
