Why Eminem Didn't Catch on to Daughter Hailie's Pregnancy at First

Hailie Jade Scott is sharing the story of how dad Eminem didn’t initially catch on to her pregnancy announcement.

Scott, whose pregnancy was revealed earlier this month, did so by giving the 15-time Grammy Award winner, 51, a Detroit Lions jersey with “Grandpa” on the back. However, as Scott, 28, explained on the Friday, October 11, episode of her “Just a Little Shady” podcast, what she was trying to tell him didn’t quite click.

“He was like, ‘Are you trying to call me old? Why are you giving me this jersey that says grandpa?’” she recalled. “Then I hold up the ultrasound picture and he was like, ‘Oh my God. Wait, this is real? This is happening?’”

At the time, the father-daughter duo were on set filming scenes for his “Temporary” music video, and the person recording their interaction was just as excited as the rapper (real name Marshall Mathers).

“It was actually really funny, too, because the person who was recording obviously had no idea that that was the plan,” she continued. “They were thinking, ‘Oh we’re just getting some shots.’ So, their reaction we had to mute because they were like, ‘What the eff is going on here? Is this real?’”

Scott went on to tell listeners that once her dad calmed down, he decided to get in on the fun by helping reveal the news to their loved ones.

“The rest of my family was coming over later to watch the [Detroit Lions] game,” she explained. “When they got here, we just had my dad wearing the jersey with the jacket over it. Then he took it off and they all got to see that it said ‘Grandpa.’ And some of them were still like, ‘What’s going on?’ until I pulled out the picture.”

Later in the episode, Scott and husband Evan McClintock revealed the sex of their baby, telling listeners that they’re “excited” to welcome a boy.

“When we found out, Evan was like, ‘They’re going to hunt with me. They’re going to go golfing with me. I’ve got a little buddy,’” Scott said. “I was like, ‘OK, well they’re still going to Target with me.’”

However, McClintock clarified that “whether it was a girl or a boy,” he hoped that their baby would be interested in the things he likes.
