Please Stand Up for Eminem's Complete Family Tree—Including Daughter Hailie Jade's First Baby on the Way

Prepare to lose yourself in Eminem's family tree.
After all, his 28-year-old daughter Hailie Jade is expecting her first baby with her husband Evan McClintock— meaning the "Stan" rapper will soon be a grandfather.
In fact, Slim Shady was quite surprised to find himself in such a position. As seen in the new music video for his song "Temporary," his jaw was practically on the floor when Hailie—who he shares with ex-wife Kim Scott—presented him with a Buffalo Bills jersey bearing the words "Grandpa."
And Eminem's mouth remained agape when he saw an ultrasound of Hailie's baby on the way, flipping the image over to the camera to show his excitement.
The pregnancy reveal was one of the many family moments Eminem included in the visuals to "Temporary," his latest single dedicated to Hailie. In addition to the baby announcement, the Grammy winner included footage of him dancing with Hailie at her May wedding, as well as clips of the father-daughter duo through the years.
Toward the end of the music video, a card from Hailie addressed to her dad was shown on screen.
"Thank you for doing everything you do & always being there for us girls," she wrote, referencing siblings Alaina Scott, 31, and Stevie Scott, 22. "You truly are the best dad in the world. Love you forever + 100 million dollars forever ever & always."
Indeed, Eminem (real name Marshall Mathers) is fiercely protective of his brood. Despite his bustling rap career, the 8 Mile star has managed to shield Hailie and her siblings from the spotlight for most of their childhood, quietly raising them in a Detroit suburb.
"When I think about my accomplishments, that's probably the thing I'm the most proud of is being able to raise kids," he shared on Mike Tyson's YouTube show Hotboxin' in 2020. "It's important to keep your kids grounded when they're in a situation like I have. It's very important."
The 52-year-old continued, "People also think, too, that money just buys happiness—that absolutely is not the truth. You've got to be right inside otherwise none of this s--t means nothing."
For a guide to his family, keep reading.
Born Kimberly Ann Scott, the Michigan native was Eminem's high school sweetheart. She welcomed their daughter Hailie Jade in 1995.
Kim was married to the rapper from 1999 to 2001, and briefly again in 2006. Their tumultuous relationship has been referenced in several of Eminem's songs, including "'97 Bonnie & Clyde," "Puke" and "Bad Husband."
"In our relationship, there's a pattern," Kim said of their on-and-off romance in a 2007 interview with 20/20. " We'll have two good years and then it will go bad for some reason. It's like a two-year max with us and we hadn't reached the two years yet. I just didn't want to rush into anything before the two years."
However, Kim noted that Eminem has always been an "excellent" father.
"He loves the kids very much," she shared. "He's always lending a helping hand."
Eminem and Kim welcomed Hailie on Dec. 25, 1995. According to music star, her birth was a "real wake-up call" to "get my a-- in gear."
"Everything that I am doing right now is for Hailie," he told Q magazine in 2001. "The money—it's for her college."
She spent most of her youth under Eminem's 15,000-square-foot roof in the Detroit suburbs, before attending Michigan State University to study psychology. There, she met her future husband Evan McClintock, who she married in May 2024 after getting engaged the year prior.
"She's doing good," Eminem said of Hailie during a 2020 episode of Hotboxin' With Mike Tyson, adding that the influencer—who now goes by Hailie Jade—graduated from college with a 3.9 GPA. "She's made me proud for sure."
In October 2024, Hailie announced her pregnancy with her first baby.
Born on Feb. 22, 1993, Alaina is the daughter of Kim's sister Dawn Scott.
She was adopted by Eminem in the early aughts due to her mother's struggles with addiction. "I have full custody of my niece and joint custody of Hailie," the 8 Mile star told Rolling Stone in 2004. "I was always there for Hailie, and my niece has been a part of my life ever since she was born. Me and Kim pretty much had her, she'd live with us wherever we was at."
Having been largely raised by Eminem, the Oakland University alum calls him "dad" and had him accompany her down the aisle when she wed Matt Moeller in June 2023.
"He wasn't going to miss that," she told People after the nuptials, during which Hailie served as a Maid of Honor. "None of this would have been possible without my dad. I'm beyond blessed."
Her mother passed away in 2016 at the age of 41.
Kim welcomed Stevie on April 16, 2002, with her then-boyfriend Eric Hartter. Eminem legally adopted Stevie in 2005, when he reconciled with Kim.
Stevie came out as nonbinary in August 2021, sharing in a TikTok video that they identify using "all pronouns."
They added in the caption, "forever growing and changing."
Born in 1955 at a military base in Kansas, Debbie is the mother of Eminem.
She married the "Without Me" artist's father Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. when she was 15, according to her 2008 memoir My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem. She began pregnant with Eminem 16 months later and relocated to Michigan, where her maternal grandmother lived.
Debbie and Eminem's strained relationship has been documented in several of his songs, including his 2002 smash hit "Cleanin' Out My Closet." In the track, he alleged that Debbie abused prescription pills when he was young—which she denied in her autobiography.
"What mother wants to be known as a pill-popping alcoholic who lives on welfare?" she wrote. "None of it was true, but the fibs kept getting bigger, and ultimately Marshall and I became estranged."
However, Eminem has since expressed regret in airing out his family drama. In his 2013 song "Headlights," he rapped, "I went in headfirst, never thinking about who, what I said hurt / In what verse, my mom probably got it the worst."
