Eminem is stepping into a brand-new chapter of life — he’s going to be a grandfather! The legendary Detroit rapper made the heartfelt announcement in a powerful way, revealing the news through his new music video “Temporary” featuring Skylar Grey, from his upcoming album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace).
In a touching scene from the video, Eminem’s daughter, Hailie Jade, surprises her dad by handing him a Detroit Lions jersey with “Grandpa” printed on the back. As Eminem processes the moment in disbelief, he holds up a photo of a sonogram, while Hailie smiles and laughs, capturing a beautiful and emotional reaction from her father.
The music video also includes a montage of heartwarming home videos from Hailie’s childhood, mixed with scenes from her recent wedding to husband Evan McClintock. Shortly after the video dropped, Hailie posted photos on Instagram showing her and Evan looking at the sonogram, confirming that their baby is due next year.
“Waking up a wife this week,” Hailie wrote in her post. “We couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful weekend celebration. So so many happy tears were shed, laughs & smiles were had, & so much love was felt.”
This will be the first child for Hailie and McClintock, making Eminem a first-time grandfather — a moment fans never expected to see revealed in such a personal, creative way.
One of the most emotional parts of the video comes when Hailie gives her dad a heartfelt handwritten letter, which brings Eminem to tears. The letter reads:
“…because no matter how many years go by, inside my heart will always be the little girl who loves and needs her dad.”
The music video has already struck a chord with fans, blending intimate family moments with powerful visuals and music, offering a rare glimpse into Eminem’s softer, emotional side.
