Hailie Jade loves the way her best friend lies.
Just one day after sharing that she’s welcoming her first baby with husband Evan McClintock, the 28-year-old—who is the daughter of Eminem and Kim Scott—and her pal Brittany Ednie detailed the hilarious way they worked together to hide Hailie’s pregnancy during her wedding back in May.
“People did not know that she was pregnant," Brittany said on the Oct. 4 episode of the pair’s Just A Little Shady podcast. “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."
And Hailie—who announced her pregnancy on Instagram and in Eminem’s new “Temporary” music video on the same day—highlighted how their strong bond as besties made Brittany’s clever approach even easier.
"Brittany was taking one for the team," Hailie added. "I never really asked you to do it. It was like an unspoken thing with our eyes."
Hailie also praised her groom for wanting to help her keep her pregnancy under wraps, but admitted that he wasn’t a huge fan of her “lavender lemonade” drink.
"Usually, Evan has been the one who will take some sips, but he was not nearby,” the 28-year-old mom-to-be continued. “Evan was like, 'I don't want that.' But you were like, 'Oh, I'll take some drinks of it.' So I feel like you kinda volunteered yourself for that one."
And while it’s clear that Brittany will be a great aunt to the newlyweds’ bundle of joy, Hailie is certain that her dad Eminem will be the No. 1 grandpa.
“Thank you for doing everything you do & always being there for us girls,” Hailie wrote in a card to the “Lose Yourself” rapper that was featured in his music video. “You truly are the best dad in the world. Love you forever + 100 million dollars forever ever & always.”
Read on to see more of Eminem’s growing family tree.
Born Kimberly Ann Scott, the Michigan native was Eminem's high school sweetheart. She welcomed their daughter Hailie Jade in 1995.
Kim was married to the rapper from 1999 to 2001, and briefly again in 2006. Their tumultuous relationship has been referenced in several of Eminem's songs, including "'97 Bonnie & Clyde," "Puke" and "Bad Husband."
"In our relationship, there's a pattern," Kim said of their on-and-off romance in a 2007 interview with 20/20. " We'll have two good years and then it will go bad for some reason. It's like a two-year max with us and we hadn't reached the two years yet. I just didn't want to rush into anything before the two years."
However, Kim noted that Eminem has always been an "excellent" father.
"He loves the kids very much," she shared. "He's always lending a helping hand."
Eminem and Kim welcomed Hailie on Dec. 25, 1995. According to music star, her birth was a "real wake-up call" to "get my a-- in gear."
"Everything that I am doing right now is for Hailie," he told Q magazine in 2001. "The money—it's for her college."
She spent most of her youth under Eminem's 15,000-square-foot roof in the Detroit suburbs, before attending Michigan State University to study psychology. There, she met her future husband Evan McClintock, who she married in May 2024 after getting engaged the year prior.
"She's doing good," Eminem said of Hailie during a 2020 episode of Hotboxin' With Mike Tyson, adding that the influencer—who now goes by Hailie Jade—graduated from college with a 3.9 GPA. "She's made me proud for sure."
In October 2024, Hailie announced her pregnancy with her first baby.
Born on Feb. 22, 1993, Alaina is the daughter of Kim's sister Dawn Scott.
She was adopted by Eminem in the early aughts due to her mother's struggles with addiction. "I have full custody of my niece and joint custody of Hailie," the 8 Mile star told Rolling Stone in 2004. "I was always there for Hailie, and my niece has been a part of my life ever since she was born. Me and Kim pretty much had her, she'd live with us wherever we was at."
Having been largely raised by Eminem, the Oakland University alum calls him "dad" and had him accompany her down the aisle when she wed Matt Moeller in June 2023.
"He wasn't going to miss that," she told People after the nuptials, during which Hailie served as a Maid of Honor. "None of this would have been possible without my dad. I'm beyond blessed."
Her mother passed away in 2016 at the age of 41.
Kim welcomed Stevie on April 16, 2002, with her then-boyfriend Eric Hartter. Eminem legally adopted Stevie in 2005, when he reconciled with Kim.
Stevie came out as nonbinary in August 2021, sharing in a TikTok video that they identify using "all pronouns."
They added in the caption, "forever growing and changing."
Born in 1955 at a military base in Kansas, Debbie is the mother of Eminem.
She married the "Without Me" artist's father Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. when she was 15, according to her 2008 memoir My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem. She began pregnant with Eminem 16 months later and relocated to Michigan, where her maternal grandmother lived.
Debbie and Eminem's strained relationship has been documented in several of his songs, including his 2002 smash hit "Cleanin' Out My Closet." In the track, he alleged that Debbie abused prescription pills when he was young—which she denied in her autobiography.
"What mother wants to be known as a pill-popping alcoholic who lives on welfare?" she wrote. "None of it was true, but the fibs kept getting bigger, and ultimately Marshall and I became estranged."
However, Eminem has since expressed regret in airing out his family drama. In his 2013 song "Headlights," he rapped, "I went in headfirst, never thinking about who, what I said hurt / In what verse, my mom probably got it the worst."
