Eminem announces daughter’s pregnancy in heartfelt music video

Eminem, the iconic rap legend, has revealed that he’s about to step into a new role—grandfather—as his daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers, is expecting her first child with her husband, Evan McClintock. The news was shared in a deeply emotional music video for Eminem’s latest song, “Temporary”, released yesterday.
In the five-minute-long video, featuring singer Skylar Grey’s vocals, Eminem offers fans a rare glimpse into his personal life and the close bond he shares with his 28-year-old daughter. “Temporary” is not just a song but a heartfelt tribute to Hailie, who has been a central figure in many of Eminem’s most famous tracks throughout his career. Now, as she transitions from “daddy’s little girl” to a soon-to-be mother, the video captures this poignant journey.
Toward the end of the video, Hailie surprises her father with the pregnancy news in a touching moment that has resonated deeply with fans. She hands him a Detroit Lions jersey with “grandpa” emblazoned on the back, and then presents him with a sonogram image. Eminem’s emotional reaction is visible as Skylar Grey’s vocals fill the scene with lyrics: “The bad days will start to get better. Then we’ll be laughin’ together. And tonight when I cry. The tears are temporary.”
For longtime fans of Eminem, this moment represents a significant emotional milestone. Eminem has often spoken of his love for Hailie in his music, and their relationship has been a central theme in many of his most iconic tracks. From “Mockingbird” to “Hailie’s Song,” Hailie has always been more than just a daughter—she’s been a source of inspiration and a grounding force in Eminem’s turbulent life and career.
The pregnancy announcement comes just a few months after Hailie tied the knot with McClintock, her partner since 2016. Their wedding was a private affair, yet it drew significant attention, as fans celebrated the long-awaited union. Now, with the announcement of Hailie’s pregnancy, that celebration has only grown, as fans have flocked to social media to express their excitement and joy for the rapper and his daughter.
On YouTube, one fan commented, “Eminem is a real one. Father goals. Congrats on being a grandfather.” Another wrote, “Eminem being a grandad is the most beautiful news I’ve ever heard today. He just had to make me cry.”
Fans were particularly moved by the full-circle moment Eminem has experienced. One user reflected on his past struggles and growth, “Damn, he made the classic ‘When I’m Gone,’ nearly passed away, but still made it to her wedding nearly 20 years later. The GOAT didn’t just win in rap, he won in life.” A different commenter noted the deeper significance of the relationship, writing, “This little girl was the reason many rap careers were ruined for decades. Em loves that little girl.”
Throughout his career, Eminem has been fiercely protective of Hailie and his love for his daughter, often as one fan eloquently put it, “Eminem didn’t just change the rap game, he’s showing us what it means to win in life.”
