The
rapper announced his daughter Hailie Jade is pregnant through a
touching music video that is a tribute to their relationship.
Home videos dating back to 1999 and photos of the
father-daughter duo, along with videos from her May wedding, are
underscored by the emotional song “Temporary” in the video
released Thursday.
In one clip of a recent home video, his daughter hands Eminem a
jersey with the name “Grandpa” emblazoned on the back with the
number 1. She also hands him ultrasound photos, and he looks
shocked.
The social media influencer confirmed the news of her pregnancy
hours after the video was released Thursday, with an Instagram
post. “Mom & dad est. 2025,” she captioned the post.
Representatives for Eminem, 51, did not immediately return
requests for comment.
“Temporary,” from Eminem's latest album, “The Death of Slim
Shady (Coup de Grâce),” is written as a comforting message to
his daughter after he dies. “I’m watchin’ you right now, baby
girl, I vow/I will protect you, your guardian angel,” he sings
on the track, which was released in July.
The “Lose Yourself” artist has always had a soft spot for his
daughter, frequently mentioning her in his songs and even
writing full tributes to her like “Hailie's Song” and
“Mockingbird.”
In “Mockingbird,” a fan favorite, Eminem sings, “What Daddy
always tell you? Straighten up, little soldier,” a lyric he
calls back to in “Temporary.”
Jade is Eminem's sole biological daughter, whom he had with his
ex-wife Kim Scott. He also adopted two of Scott's daughters from
previous relationships.
