    Eminem is "excited" about becoming a grandfather

    'The Real Slim Shady' rapper, 51, revealed the news he was going to be a grandfather in a music video released on Thursday (03.10.24) for his song 'Temporary', which was dedicated to his 28-year-old girl Hailie Jade


    His promo featured a montage of clips of the pair across the span of their lives so far - including a moment when she presented her father with a blue jumper with 'Grandpa 1' written on the back, as well as a copy of her sonogram, which she later posted on Instagram alongside her husband Evan McClintock.

    A source has now told People he is being "very protective" of Hailey as he looks forward to her delivering his grandchild.

    The insider added: "(Hailey is) a big focus (in his life.) She lives near him - they're very close.

    "He's excited about becoming a grandpa and supporting her. He's always been very protective of her."

    The source added Eminem has always "enjoyed privacy" and can "live exactly how he wants" due to his sprawling mansion and fortune.

    Another insider said he is "super low-key" despite his riches, adding: "He doesn't travel with an entourage.

    "He's still an incredibly cool guy but also very 'normal'... he keeps to himself these days and is definitely an artist but not a diva."

    The sources spoke out about Eminem's quiet life and how he can't wait to be a doting grandad after it was revealed he was kept in the dark about his daughter's pregnancy with the help of her best friend.

    Hailie said on the 'Just a Little Shady' podcast how she hid the fact she was expecting thanks to pal Brittany Ednie.

    She admitted her friend "covered for" her during a wedding they both attended "a couple of weeks ago".

    Brittany said on the show: "I need to also defend myself now that this is public knowledge - that you are pregnant - because at said wedding, people did not know that she was pregnant."

    She added she was secretly drinking all of Hailie's alcoholic drinks at the nuptials so their friends didn't raise any suspicions about her possibly being pregnant.

    Brittany went on: "So she was, you know, grabbing a drink, not consuming the drink as a responsible parent does.

    "Whenever people were turned around, she would hand me her drink, and I would chug so it looked as if she was continuously drinking throughout that night."

    Hailie added her friend had been "taking one for the team" by doubling up on the drinks despite never being asked - saying: "I'll defend myself, though, because I never really asked you to do it. It was like an unspoken thing with our eyes."

    Hailie met her husband Evan in 2016 and he popped the question seven years later, with the pair walking down the aisle in May.

    Eminem had Hailie in December 1995 with his ex Kim Scott, to whom he was married to twice before they split for good in 2006.

    He also adopted Alaina, the daughter of Kim's twin sister, Dawn, and Stevie Mathers - who is Kim's child from another relationship - when they were younger.
