Hailie Jade Scott is ringing in 2025 with an exciting announcement—she’s expecting her first child! The 29-year-old podcast host and daughter of rapper Eminem shared the happy news in a heartfelt Instagram post on December 31, alongside photos that captured her growing baby bump.
In the festive photos, Scott posed by a glowing Christmas tree wearing a cropped top that highlighted her belly. One sweet shot featured her husband, Evan McClintock, kissing her stomach, while another showed a playful ribbon tied around her bump. The caption read, “Things are going to look so different this time next year & we can’t wait. Happy New Year everyone!!”
The announcement comes after a year filled with milestones for Scott and McClintock, who tied the knot in May 2024 after nearly a decade together.
Fans first learned of Scott’s pregnancy in a creative and touching moment during Eminem’s music video for “Temporary,” released in October. In the video, Scott surprises her father with a Detroit Lions jersey that reads “Grandpa” and a set of sonogram photos, capturing his heartfelt reaction.
Reflecting on the secrecy surrounding her pregnancy, Scott revealed on her podcast, Just a Little Shady, that she went to great lengths to keep the news under wraps during her wedding. With the help of her cohost and close friend Brittany Ednie, Scott managed to keep the secret.
“People did not know that she was pregnant,” Ednie shared during an episode. “Whenever people weren’t looking, she’d pass me her drink, and I’d take it. It was an unspoken teamwork moment.” Scott chimed in, calling Ednie’s efforts an act of “true friendship.”
The past year has been a whirlwind for Scott, marked by her fairy-tale wedding to McClintock. Sharing photos from their big day, she wrote, “We couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful weekend celebration. So many happy tears, laughs, and smiles were shared, and so much love was felt.” Eminem even made a special appearance in the wedding video, proudly walking his daughter down the aisle.
As 2025 begins, Scott and McClintock are embracing the future with open arms, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their little one. With love, laughter, and family by their side, the couple is ready to embark on this exciting new chapter.
Here’s to a year of joy, growth, and new beginnings for the soon-to-be parents!
