Eminem, the iconic rapper known for his powerful lyrics and compelling music, has a daughter who has often been a subject of curiosity among fans and the public. Hailie Jade Scott, born on December 25, 1995, is the daughter of Marshall Mathers, famously known as Eminem.
Early Life and Family
Hailie Jade Scott’s early life was not without its challenges. Her parents, Eminem and Kimberly Scott, had a tumultuous relationship, which is well-documented in some of Eminem’s songs. Despite the ups and downs, Hailie has remained a significant part of Eminem’s life, and he has often expressed his love and dedication to her through his music.
Growing Up in the Limelight
As the daughter of one of the most famous and influential musicians in the world, Hailie grew up in the limelight. Her life was under constant scrutiny, and fans were eager to know more about her. Eminem, who is known for his protective nature, made efforts to shield her from the public eye during her formative years.
Education and Achievements
Hailie Jade Scott is not just known for being Eminem’s daughter. She has forged her own path and pursued higher education. She graduated from Chippewa Valley High School with honors and later attended Michigan State University. She has maintained a relatively low profile, focusing on her studies and personal life.
Life Beyond Fame
Despite her father’s fame, Hailie has largely led a private life away from the music industry’s glare. She has a strong presence on social media, where she occasionally shares glimpses of her life, interests, and travels. Hailie’s followers on Instagram often get a peek into her fashion choices, fitness routines, and moments with her family and friends
In the song “97 Bonnie and Clyde” from his 1998 mixtape, Eminem first spoke about Hailie Jade.
Nothing makes Eminem happier than seeing his daughter Hailie Jade Scott, who is now an adult.
Her Grammy-winning father used the 27-year-old influencer and podcaster as inspiration over the years. Beginning with “97 Bonnie and Clyde” from The Slim Shady EP in 1998 and most recently in “Castle,” which was written as a series of letters to Hailie, Eminem has rapped about her multiple times.
In a 2004 interview with Rolling Stone, Eminem discussed the conflict between being a hip-hop icon and a father to a little child.
Dad life is unquestionably a double existence. I have always believed in freedom of speech, even before Hailie was born, as far back as I can remember. My artistic integrity was something I never wanted to sacrifice, he remarked. But moment I enter my home’s gates, that’s when I become a father. Bringing the children to school, picking them up, and teaching them the rules. Although I don’t claim to be a perfect parent, I believe that being present for my children and providing for their needs is of utmost importance.
Although Eminem is still protective of his daughter, Hailie has gone a long way from the young child whose voice occasionally appeared on his songs when she visited the recording studio. The rapper reflected on his arduous road to fame during his November 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which Hailie attended. During some of his speech, the rapper urged Hailie to shut out.
“I nearly passed away from an overdose in 2007, which was unfortunate. I thought we had a wonderful thing going, Hailie, but I had to go f— it all up and take too many drugs because they were f—— delicious. Oh my God. Alright Hailie,” he said.
So who has Eminem’s daughter grown up to be? Here’s everything to know about Hailie Jade
She was a Christmas baby
What a wonderful gift! Eminem (actual name Marshall Mathers) and Kim Mathers welcomed Hailie Jade Scott into the world on December 25, 1995. In their hometown of Detroit, where Hailie and Kim still reside today, the couple gave birth to a child.
She has a degree
Hailie earned a 3.9 GPA and a psychology degree from Michigan State University. According to reports, she rushed the sorority Zeta Tau Alpha.
Hailie also excelled academically in high school, earning a summa cum laude diploma from Clinton Township, Michigan’s Chippewa Valley High School. She participated in volleyball, the student council, the Key Club, the art club, and the National Honour Society. Her parents were listed as the most influential individuals in her life in her school profile because they “pushed me to be the person I am and have given me all the support to achieve what I have,” according to the student.
She also was named homecoming queen in high school, with her famous dad staying out of the spotlight to let her “have her moment.
She has her own podcast — and the title is a tribute to her dad
In the summer of 2022, Hailie released her own podcast, Just A Little Shady. The first episode, which she co-hosted with her longtime friend Brittany Ednie, was about growing up as the child of a rap legend.
“It’s so much joy to reflect… As an adult, when I reflect on those times, I think, “Wow, that’s so, so surreal,” said Hailie. And now that I reflect on those experiences, I say, “Holy crap, that was cool,” as opposed to when I thought they were commonplace.
In addition, Hailie recalled memories of riding on her famous father’s tour van and kind deeds Eminem performed for Ednie and her when they were younger.
My dad arranged up for us to do things like take a limo to Disney and have a princess tea party while he was working on something when we arrived in Florida. He had the clothes ready for us. “Even then, at the time, we were so happy and so excited, but we didn’t get to get to appreciate that moment as much as now when we talk about it and think back on it.”
Hailie said on Instagram that Just A Little Shady would have a second season in July 2023, one year after its debut.
Hailie shared a photo of herself and co-host Brittany Ednie with the words “so much has happened in the last year & it wouldn’t be possible without the support of our JALS fam.” We’ll return in August with more guests, more entertaining set designs, more merchandise created with inspiration from our listeners, and more.
She got engaged in February 2023
Hailie Jade proposed to her longtime partner Evan McClintock on February 4, 2023. Hailie and McClintock met in 2016 at Michigan State University and dated for six years before getting engaged.
“Simple weekend recap… She posted a picture of McClintock getting down on one knee and a picture of her sparkling diamond ring, “2.4.23 i love you @evanmcclintock11.”
McClintock disclosed that he got Eminem’s permission to propose at Hailie’s birthday party in December 2022 during a recent interview on Hailie Jade’s Just a Little Shady podcast.

Hailie and McClintock held a chic rooftop celebration in Detroit to mark their engagement in April 2023. In addition, the location served as the backdrop for the couple’s engagement pictures.
Before the big event, the soon-to-be bride posted on Instagram, “We’re doing our engagement pictures before the party since we’re already going to be getting ready, so it just made sense.”
She’s close with both of her parents — and her “bruncle“
Hailie Jade said to The Daily Mail in her debut interview that she and Eminem are close friends and frequently communicate. Hailie claimed that she and her mother, Kimberly “Kim” Scott, who at the time resided nearby with her siblings Stevie Laine and Alaina Marie Scott, are equally close.
Hailie interviewed Nate Mathers, Eminem’s younger brother and her uncle, on a February 2023 episode of Just a Little Shady. She referred to him as her “bruncle,” saying that he was more like a brother to her than an uncle. Despite how the world perceives Eminem from his songs, Nate claimed that the rapper’s parenting style had inspired his own.Oh, yes, I mean, I could tell from the songs and everything that people thought Eminem was nuts. He said this to Hailie. However, he served as the best possible example for me to follow in order to become the kind of father I am now.
She has two siblings
Alaina Scott and Stevie Laine Scott are Hailie’s siblings.
On February 22, 1993, Kim’s sister Dawn Scott gave birth to Alaina. She was formally adopted by Eminem in the early 2000s. Alaina now works as a travel blogger and has a degree from Oakland University. Hailie was a bridesmaid when she married Matt Moeller, her lifelong love, in June 2023.
On April 16, 2002, Kim gave birth to Stevie with her then-boyfriend Eric Hartter, whom she had been dating in between her two marriages to Eminem. Eminem adopted Stevie after the rapper and Kim got back together. The youngest Eminem is presently dating TikToker Declan Jace and came out as nonbinary in August 2021
