Slim Shady is a grandpa! On Friday, Eminem‘s daughter Hailie Jade Scott shared photos of her newborn baby with her husband Evan McClintock, several weeks after the baby was born on March 14. And the baby’s name honors the rapper.
Scott posted the photo of the baby, in a knitted hoodie in front of a sign with his name: Elliot Marshall McClintock. The newborn is named after his rap icon grandfather, whose birth name is Marshall Mathers.
“happy due date//3 weeks earthside little e 🤍,” Scott captioned the post Friday.
One fan also noticed that the child’s initials are EM & M, a sly subtle nod to his rap royalty grandfather.
Scott celebrated the welcoming of her baby in the last episode of her podcast’s third season, which was posted on Feb. 28 on YouTube. “It’s so weird to think about… I can’t even wrap my head around it,” Scott said. “I have to meet this human that I’ve created. What’s he gonna look like? What’s he gonna … what’s his personality gonna be [like]? It’s strange but super exciting.”
Scott updated her Instagram followers with pregnant photos along the journey, including one photo she captioned: “so close to meeting baby boy 💙.” For New Year’s she wrote, “Things are going to look so different this time next year & we can’t wait.”
While Eminem has not spoken publicly about the baby’s birth, the rapper shared a clip of himself learning of his daughter’s pregnancy in the video for “Temporary” last year. The video sees him holding up a football jersey with the name “GRANDPA” in the back as he holds up the baby’s sonogram image.
