Hailie Jade, daughter of Eminem, pays tribute to her father while sharing the middle name of her baby boy

On April 4, 2025, Hailie Jade, daughter of legendary rapper Eminem, shared an exciting and emotional announcement with her followers. She revealed that she gave birth to her first child, a baby boy, in March. The proud mother also took the opportunity to share her son’s name, which carries a heartfelt tribute to her famous father. In a sweet Instagram post, Hailie introduced her son as Elliot Marshall McClintock, with his middle name honoring his grandfather, Marshall Mathers, the real name of Eminem.

Along with the announcement, Hailie posted a touching photo of her baby boy, accompanied by a caption that read: “Happy due date//3 weeks earthside little e.” The baby’s name, “Elliot Marshall McClintock 3.14.25,” was also visible in the background, with the middle name “Marshall” tying the newborn to his grandfather’s legacy. Fans were deeply moved by the news, especially when they realized that Elliot’s initials – EMM – matched Eminem’s own initials, creating a beautiful connection between the generations. One fan wrote, “His initials are EM & M Genius! What a little cutie,” while another expressed their emotional reaction, commenting, “Not me tearing up at the middle name like I’m related.”

This moment is even more special considering a previous heartwarming event in October 2024, when Hailie surprised her father with the news that he was going to be a grandfather. The emotional announcement was later incorporated into Eminem’s music video for his song “Temporary.” In the video, the rapper receives a Detroit Lions jersey with “Grandpa” inscribed on it, along with a sonogram picture of Hailie’s pregnancy. The personal moment showcased the deep bond between father and daughter and captured a milestone in Eminem’s life.

“Temporary,” a track from Eminem’s album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), debuted at No. 56 on the Billboard Hot 100 last summer. Hailie Jade, during an episode of her podcast Just a Little Shady, spoke candidly about the emotional experience of hearing the song and how it brought her to tears. She also took the time to praise both her father and her mother, Kim Scott, for their excellent parenting, despite the challenges they faced as a family. Hailie revealed how they shielded her from the difficulties in their relationship, giving her a loving and supportive upbringing.

The birth of Hailie’s son marks a significant chapter in her life, and the tribute to Eminem’s legacy through her son’s name is a testament to the family’s close-knit bond. Fans continue to celebrate the new addition to the Mathers family, with many expressing their joy and admiration for the beautiful way Hailie has honored her father through this meaningful gesture.
