Eminem becomes a grandpa as his daughter welcomes baby boy – National | Globalnews.ca
That will be Grandpa Shady to you, as Eminem is now officially a grandfather.
Eminem’s daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers, announced the birth of her first child with husband Evan McClintock, sharing some cute snaps to Instagram Friday.
A letterboard behind the baby reveals that the little boy was born in the middle of March. But what’s even sweeter is that he’s named after his grandpa — Mathers named her son Elliot Marshall McClintock, a nod to Eminem, who was born Marshall Mathers.
She captioned the photos: “happy due date//3 weeks earthside little e.”
In October, Eminem announced that Mathers was pregnant through a music video for a new song, Temporary.
