In an exciting turn of events, Hailie Jade Mathers, the daughter of the renowned rapper Eminem, announced her pregnancy during the latest episode of her podcast, “Just a Little Shady.” During the program, which aired on a Friday, Hailie, 28, and her husband, Evan McClintock, shared the delightful news of expecting a baby boy. The couple made the revelation in a playful fashion by popping a balloon filled with blue confetti, which undoubtedly added an element of surprise and joy that’s often associated with such moments. Their enthusiasm was palpable as they joyfully exclaimed, “It’s a boy!” marking the beginning of a new and thrilling chapter in their lives.
As Hailie shared more about their reactions to the news, she highlighted the excitement her husband felt. Evan eagerly projected their future adventures, contemplating the potential bonding he would have with their son, painting a picture of outdoor activities like hunting and golfing together. Hailie humorously countered his enthusiasm, reminding listeners that the everyday errands would still feature prominently in their lives, asserting, “OK, well, they’re still going to Target with me.” The couple’s dynamic comes through in their light-hearted banter, showcasing a balanced blend of traditional father-son activities and the shared responsibilities of parenthood.
Last week, Hailie also stole the limelight with a creative announcement in Eminem’s music video for “Temporary.” The poignant moment saw her gifting her legendary father a custom Detroit Lions jersey that read “Grandpa,” a heartwarming gesture that not only announced her pregnancy but also deepened the generational bond within their family. This video was further complemented by her sharing ultrasound images, symbolically bridging the gap between her father’s iconic career and her journey into motherhood.
Hailie took to Instagram to proudly share her pregnancy journey so far, posting maternity shoot pictures that reflect her growing excitement. With a caption that read, “mom & dad est. 2025 🤍,” she encapsulated the sweet sentiment of this new venture into parenthood.
Further enriching her story, Mathers revealed that she had been pregnant during her wedding ceremony held earlier this year in Battle Creek, Michigan. It was a humorous affirmation of the lengths her best friend would go to maintain her appearance during the celebration, ensuring Hailie could enjoy the festivities without drawing attention to her delicate situation.
Hailie and Evan’s union in 2022, following their engagement the previous year, has blossomed since they first crossed paths at Michigan State University in 2016. As they embark on this new journey of parenthood, one can only imagine the breathtaking mix of love and support that will fill their lives.
