AceShowbiz - Hailie Jade Scott, daughter of the iconic rapper Eminem, found herself navigating the tricky waters of keeping her pregnancy a secret. The 28-year-old, who recently married Evan McClintock in May, successfully managed to hide her pregnancy with a little strategic assistance from her best friend and podcast co-host, Brittany Ednie.
During a recent episode of their "Just a Little Shady" podcast, Scott and Ednie revealed how they pulled off this covert operation. Ednie admitted to drinking all of Scott's alcoholic beverages at a wedding they attended to ensure that friends and family suspected nothing.
"So she was, you know, grabbing a drink, not consuming the drink as a responsible parent does," said Ednie. She explained that whenever people turned around, she would chug the drinks handed off by Scott, maintaining the illusion that Hailie was drinking throughout the night.
Scott praised her friend for this effort, noting it was all done without a direct request. "I never really asked you to do it. It was like an unspoken thing with our eyes," she said. This ingenious plan worked perfectly until it was time for the big reveal.
The secret was finally unveiled in a heartwarming way by none other than Eminem himself. In his new song "Temporary," released on October 3, Scott hands her father a Detroit Lions jersey with "grandpa" printed on the back. The music video captures Eminem's genuine shock as he holds up the jersey and sonogram photos, signaling his imminent role as a grandfather.
The song, consisting of touching lyrics encouraging Hailie to move on after his eventual passing, was particularly special for Scott. She confessed on a previous podcast episode that she "audibly sobbed" when she first listened to it.
Eminem, who turns 51 this year, shares a special bond with his daughter, documented through personal moments in the "Temporary" music video. Additionally, the rap icon has extended his family by adopting Alaina, the daughter of Kim Scott's twin sister Dawn, and Stevie Mathers, Kim's child from another relationship.
Hailie and McClintock, who began dating in 2016, are now looking forward to welcoming their first child together. Reflecting on their wedding day and the intricate efforts to keep their secret, Scott expressed her gratitude for having such a supportive network of family and friends.
This well-orchestrated revelation, combining personal moments and public announcements, illustrates the lengths to which Hailie and those close to her went to control their narrative, adding another chapter to their extraordinary family story.
