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.
