Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade reveals his secret 'struggle'
Eminem's daughter, Hailie Jade McClintock, revealed that her father privately struggled with raising his children in the spotlight.
Just two months after welcoming her first child, a baby boy named Elliot Marshall McClintock, with husband Evan McClintock, the influencer, 29, opened up about relating to her dad more than ever.
'Having been in the spotlight for so long, I've learned the importance of balancing what I share publicly with what I keep private,' the Just a Little Shady podcast host told People.
She continued: 'Over time, I've come to understand the struggle my father faced — wanting to protect our privacy while also feeling proud and wanting to celebrate his kids.'
As a parent herself now, the Michigan State College graduate explained she has mixed feelings about exposing her child to fame.
'I feel the same way now,' Hailie said. 'I want to share the proud, joyful moments that mean a lot to me, especially as a parent, but I'm also intentional about keeping certain parts of our lives just for us.'
For now, she's working on 'about finding that balance between openness and privacy' and her career as a content creator.
'That balance has become even more important to me as I navigate parenthood,' she stressed.
Hailie is one of three of Eminem's adult children, who he shares with ex-wife, Kim Scott.
The former couple also share Alaina Marie Scott, 32, and Stevie Laine Scott, 23.
On March 14, 2025, Hailie welcomed her little boy, a year after walking down the aisle.
Hailie announced she was expecting in her dad's music video for Temporary (feat. Skylar Grey), which included footage of him walking her down the aisle and the moment she told him of his pregnancy.
Toward the end of the video, Hailie could be seen gifting her father a Detroit Lions jersey, which had 'Grandpa' written across the back as well as an ultrasound picture of her baby-to-be.
As he processed the news, the 15-time Grammy winner looked shocked as he did a double take of the ultrasound image as Hailie giggled by his side.

The exciting update came just five months after Scott and McClintock tied the knot in Battle Creek, Michigan.
They invited close friends and family to watch them exchange vows in a 'modestly sized' ceremony held at the Greencrest Manor, according to TMZ.
For her big day, Hailie wore a gorgeous white wedding dress complete with romantic tulle skirt with sheer veil topping off her elegant hairstyle.
Hailie and Evans have been dating since 2016 and became engaged in February 2023.
Hailie works as an influencer.
She grew up in Detroit with dad Eminem - real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III - and mom Kim Scott.
She studied at Chippewa Valley High School (2014) and Michigan State University.
Hailie studied psychology at Michigan State University.
In August, Hailie admitted on her podcast Just A Little Shady that her father's tracks, Temporary and Somebody Save Me, make her 'cry every time' she hears them.
In Somebody Save Me, Eminem raps: 'Sorry that I chose drugs and put 'em above you / Sorry that I didn't love you enough to give 'em up.'
In the video, footage from Hailie's childhood with her siblings flash by as Eminem watches them.
Eminem raps: 'Hailey, I'm so sorry I wasn't there for your first guitar recital,' he raps as she's shown playing a pink acoustic guitar as a teen.
In the song lyrics, he also shares his regrets about not walking her 'down the aisle' when she got married and missing the birth of her first child, which are things he would have missed had he died during his 2007 overdose.
Eminem, who battled prescription pill addiction in the past, has been sober for 16 years.
She continued, 'Between that and Temporary, I mean, I can't. I audibly sobbed I think for both songs but especially Temporary.
The Slim Shady artist dedicated Temporary to his daughter and addresses his eventual death in the song and urges her to move on from it and be happy.

Cleveland Browns' Brenden Bates reenacts iconic 'Happy Gilmore' golf swing...with unfortunate results
Cleveland Browns star Brenden Bates attempted to reenact the iconic Happy Gilmore golf shot, with his version ending in disaster, as he was sprawled out in the tee box. The 6-foot-5, 255-pound tight end tried to walk up to the ball instead of hitting it with his driver while stationary. Bates starts his approach and puts all his strength behind his drive before missing the ball and awkwardly twisting to the grass. Bates ended up on his back after doing a full twist in the air, with the torque from his body causing his golf club to leave his hands. Bates knows he missed up badly on his swing, as he stays lying down behind the tee box for a few seconds as the video ends. The Kentucky alumnus is attempt to make his first 53-man NFL roster after failing to do so with the Chicago Bears and New York Jets last year. Browns TE Brenden Bates tried the Happy Gilmore swing and failed miserably 😂 @te_university | @BatesBrenden — NFL (@NFL) June 26, 2025 Bates was viewed as a trendy pick to make the Bears' roster last season, with a rookie Caleb Williams as the starting quarterback. It is a little case of deja vu this year, as he attempts to make a roster with a high-profile rookie quarterback responsible for passing him the ball in Shedeur Sanders. Bates made headlines late last month by hauling in a tough pass from Sanders and getting both feet down in bounds for a mini-camp touchdown. His golf game does not appear to be as locked in, unlike Gilmore's, who has beginner's luck with three amazing drives in the 1996 cult classic. Bates does have a tough position battle ahead of him, with David Njoku locked in as the Browns' starting tight end.

Treasure trove of Princess Diana's iconic outfits set to sell for MILLIONS at auction in LA
A TREASURE trove of Princess Diana's clothing went under the hammer tonight — set to net a million dollars. More than 140 of Di's garments sparked a bidding frenzy as fans splashed out. 7 Before the Princess Diana's Style & A Royal Collection auction in Beverly Hills last night, hundreds of thousands of dollars in bids had already been placed. A flurry of interest surrounded the floral Bellville Sassoon dress Diana wore alongside Charles in Seville in 1992 — with one punter meeting the $300,000 asking price. The silk outfit was known as Diana's 'caring dress', which she often wore on visits to hospitals to meet patients, including The Lighthouse Project for AIDS in London in the same year. A custom cream Catherine Walker evening gown worn during her 1986 Gulf Tour of Saudi Arabia and UAE, had already attracted a $150,000 bid — half of the £300,000 estimate. Early bids also met the $100,000 reserve price by Julien's Auctions on a yellow Bruce Oldfield outfit Di wore to Ascot in 1987. Her favourite red ski suit, which she wore on the slopes in Klosters, Switzerland, in 1986, was expected to fetch at least $50,000. A blue cap was estimated at $4,000, while her 1997 British Lung Foundation sweatshirt was set to fetch $20,000. The collection was curated with items from multiple owners across the globe — with a portion of the proceeds going to Muscular Dystrophy UK. Handwritten letters and a birthday card signed by William, Harry and Diana were also for sale. Julien's Auctions executive director Martin Nolan said: 'This celebrates Diana's elegance and enduring cultural impact.' Diana 'would be furious that Harry left William to pursue her legacy alone', Phil Dampier says 7 7 7

M3GAN 2.0 review: There's plenty of violence and hilarious horror in this fun and ferocious sequel
M3GAN 2.0 ★★★★☆ IF you watched the first instalment from deranged doll M3GAN, you won't be surprised that the killing machine – who was meant to be out of the toy box for ever – has found a way to return. Following the success of its highly entertaining predecessor in 2022, we now meet a new android who is older, sleeker and a lot more terrifying. 4 4 Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno) was built from blueprints stolen from Gemma (Allison Williams), who invented the original M3GAN to be a companion to her niece, Cady (Violet McGraw). Amelia is far more dangerous than the defunct M3GAN though — she's an unbeatable AI weapon created by the military to destroy the enemy. But guess what? Yup, you got it — she quickly breaks ranks and gets a mind that they can no longer control. And what a bloodthirsty mind it is. Meanwhile, Cady is still mourning the loss of her robotic pal who went above and beyond to 'protect' her. So when Amelia starts on the warpath, destroying everything in her way, Gemma reluctantly brings back M3GAN (Amie Donald and Jenna Davis) to try to take her down. The psycho dancing doll has now turned into a bit of a goody compared to the very bad baddy. There's a chunk of narrative about the threats of artificial intelligence to the human race, lobbying for safer rules around technology. But back to the doll-on-doll fighting — there's plenty of violence and also hilarious horror. A laugh-out-loud performance by Jemaine Clement, as tech billionaire Alton, sets a great tone for the comedic pace of this fun and ferocious film. WATCH The Official Trailer For M3GAN Created by Gerard Johnstone and Akela Cooper, it's witty and sassy, while taking itself even less seriously than the first movie. It has a decent amount of sinister charm and the supporting cast is solid, with a well-scripted unlikable boyfriend of Gemma's played by Aristotle Athari. It's also completely bonkers but entertaining — if 20 minutes too long, especially when the direction it's heading is clear. Overall, this is a solid sequel that fans of the first film can't help but find a fun ride. And, it seems that there's still plenty more left to play with here. F1: THE MOVIE (12A) 155mins ★★★★☆ 4 THIS is a film that knows exactly what it wants to be: big, glossy fun with just enough drama and romance to give it some emotional grip. Brad Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes, a grizzled ex-racer pulled back into the world of Formula One for one last shot at legacy and redemption. Pitt is effortlessly charismatic and grounded and is matched by London-born rising star Damson Idris, who brings swagger and depth as Joshua Pearce (JP), the hotshot newcomer forced to team up – and compete – with Hayes. Their chemistry crackles as it blends tension, humour and heart. The racing sequences are spectacular – shot with clarity, precision and an astonishing sense of speed. Hans Zimmer's thundering score then adds even more drama. Yes, the script leans heavily into sports movie tropes, with melodramatic twists and the occasional cheesy one-liner, but it's all delivered with such style you won't mind. F1 is fast, flashy, and totally self-aware. And for a summer movie? That's more than enough. ★★★☆☆ 4 THIS small but perfectly formed crime comedy set in the Fens of eastern England keeps things simple and silly while focusing on clueless small-town crooks and a drug deal that happens by mistake. Written and directed by Richard Bracewell, it centres on Jayce (a standout Ethaniel Davy), freshly out of a young offenders' institution after taking the fall for a crime his best mate Lee (Ramy Ben Fredj) committed. Jayce wants answers, but what follows is less about revenge and more about muddling through a tangle of petty crime, family dysfunction and the burgeoning of an unexpected friendship. The plot doesn't aim for complexity and some narrative threads are wafer thin, but Chicken Town finds strength in its unfussy look and cast. Ben Fredj is hilariously daft as Lee, the dim-witted heir to a battery-chicken empire. Amelie Davies and Graham Fellows bring energy and charm as Paula and Kev. The comedy is light and surprisingly warm, and the criminals are more silly than scary – and it works. Sweet – and genuinely fun in places.
