Rapper Eminem announced that his daughter Hailie Jade was pregnant through the music video for his song Temporary. The music video included home video footage of his daughter as a child, a teen, and then at her wedding before showing a jersey saying ‘Grandpa’ and a sonogram.
Hailie Jade has been referred to many times in Eminem’s songs over the years and has been the subject of massive publicity due to her parents’ messy marriage and divorce. She has since gone to college, started a podcast, and got married last year. Here is everything you need to know about Hailie Jade’s personal life.
Eminem Has Spoken About Hailie Jade In Many Songs
Rapper Eminem has some common themes in his songs that he constantly talks about. Coming from 8 Mile Road, Detroit, the rapper has often spoken about his tumultuous childhood, his troubled relationship with his mother, his messy relationship with ex-wife Kim, and his love for his daughter Hailie.
He has directly addressed his daughter in songs like When I’m Gone, Mockingbird, ‘97 Bonnie & Clyde, My Dad’s Gone Crazy, and Hailie’s Song among others. His latest album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace) included Temporary, which acted as a letter to his daughter about his eventual death and asking her to move on.
Talking about his duty as a father and how he balances his music act and his personal life, he said to Rolling Stone,
Being a dad is definitely living a double life. As far back as I can remember, even before Hailie was born, I was a firm believer in freedom of speech. I never wanted to compromise that, my artistic integrity. But once I hit them gates where I live, that’s when I’m Dad. Takin’ the kids to school, pickin’ ’em up, teachin’ ’em rules. I’m not sayin’ I’m the perfect father, but the most important thing is to be there for my kids and raise them the right way.
The rapper also took his daughter to his Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, where he jokingly told her to stop listening when he spoke about his struggles with dr*gs.

I saw your dad go downstairs, and I’m like, ‘I gotta do it right now, or I’m not doing it today, and I’m gonna have to schedule another time’. So I just followed him downstairs, and, thankfully, he was just down there getting your cake and made it happen.
