Eminem is taking on a new role in his life: grandad. The Detroit legend announced that his daughter Hailie Jade, who is 28-year old, is expecting her first child via a new music video on Thursday for his song “Temporary,” featuring Skylar Grey, from The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace).
At one point in the video, Hailie is seen giving her dad a Detroit Lions jersey that reads “Grandpa” on the back. Eminem, stunned, then holds a photo of a sonogram while Jade smiles and laughs at her dad’s reaction to the news.
The music video showcases a montage of childhood home videos of Jade and Eminem spliced with footage from her recent wedding to husband Evan McClintock. Shortly after the video was released, Jade posted a series of photos of herself and McClintock on her Instagram page looking at the sonogram, writing in the caption that their baby is due next year.
“Waking up a wife this week,” Jade wrote on her Instagram page at the time. “We couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful weekend celebration. So so many happy tears were shed, laughs & smiles were had, & so much love was felt.” This is the first child for Jade and McClintock.
At another point of the video, Hailie gives a letter to Eminem which made him cry. The letter reads: “…because no matter how many years go by, inside my heart will always be the little girl who loves and needs her dad.” Check out the screenshot below:
