Hailie Jade Scott Opens Up About Concealing Her Pregnancy on Wedding Day
Hailie Jade Scott, the daughter of rapper Eminem, recently shared how she skillfully kept her pregnancy a secret on her wedding day. The 28-year-old tied the knot with Evan McClintock in May, eight years after they began dating. The couple got engaged in 2023, and it was during their wedding festivities that Scott decided to hide her baby news.
In a podcast episode of “Just a Little Shady,” co-host Brittany Ednie revealed how she assisted Scott in maintaining the ruse. “People had no idea she was expecting,” Ednie recounted. “She would grab a drink but not actually consume it. When guests would turn their backs, she would pass me her drink, and I would chug it so it looked like she was enjoying herself all night.”
Scott expressed immense gratitude for her friend’s support during the event. She noted that their understanding transcended words, describing it as an “unspoken thing.” Ednie stepped up, showcasing their strong friendship by taking on the role of a responsible accomplice.
The announcement of Scott’s pregnancy came in a heartfelt manner, showcased in her father’s latest music video for the song “Temporary,” which premiered on October 3. In the video, she presented Eminem with a Detroit Lions jersey that read “grandpa,” revealing her news in a touching way.
The video also included clips from Scott and McClintock’s wedding, notably Eminem accompanying his daughter down the aisle. Reflecting on their wedding day, Scott shared on Instagram how special the occasion was, filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
Though the details of her pregnancy were kept under wraps during the wedding celebration, Scott’s joy was apparent when she later opened up about it. The anticipation of becoming a mother adds another layer of excitement as she embarks on this new chapter in her life.
In addition, “Temporary” holds deeper meaning for Scott, as it contains a motivational message from her father—encouraging her to cherish life and embrace joy despite the inevitability of loss. She revealed that listening to the song brought her to tears, highlighting the emotional bond they share.
As both a daughter and a soon-to-be mother, Hailie Jade Scott continues to navigate her personal journey while keeping her family’s legacy alive.
