Slim Shady will soon be a grandfather! Yes, Eminem’s daughter Haley Jade Mathers is pregnant with her first child.
The hip hop legend shared the news with fans through a touching new music video for his song “Temporary.”
The exciting development comes less than five months after Hailey married longtime boyfriend Evan McClintock.
In a scene that reminded fans how far Em has come since her chaotic early days in the spotlight, the bride and her father took to the dance floor for the traditional first dance at her wedding.
Eminem’s daughter is pregnant… and fans couldn’t be happier
On YouTube, fans were quick to congratulate the grandfather-to-be.
“Eminem is real. Father Lakshya. Congratulations on becoming a grandfather,” one user commented.
“Eminem becoming a grandfather is the most beautiful news I have ever heard. “He just wanted to make me cry,” another wrote, according to Page Six.
“Thank you so much for sharing this with us, we know how private you are. This was so special and I’m so honored that you shared it with your fans,” said a third.
A fourth said, “Musicians making tribute songs for their children is one of the purest things on earth, man love it.”
The growing Mathers family
It’s true that Eminem has made great efforts to protect his privacy in recent years.
(This is not in the days when he aired his dirty laundry in extremely personal songs.)
But her daughter, host of the “Just a Little Shady” podcast, is much more open.
For example, when Hailey and Evan got engaged last year, they immediately shared their happiness with fans.
In an interview with Hailey, Evan recalled the details of the engagement.
“I saw your dad go down, and I was like, ‘I have to do this now, or I’m not doing it today, and I have to schedule another time,'” he recalled.
“So I just followed him down, and, thankfully, he was down there getting your cake and he did.”
Going to Eminem to ask for permission to propose to his daughter sounds like a terrifying experience.
Thankfully, in Evan’s case, it paid off.
We don’t have any details yet about Hailey’s due date or how far along she is. But we’re sure the 28-year-old podcast host will shine in her next episode.
In the meantime, we’d like to be the latest to offer our heartfelt congratulations to Hailey, Evan, and the soon-to-be-known artist known as Slim Grandpa.
