Eminem can easily be one of the greatest rappers of all time and has a remarkable effect on the hip-hop genre. The star had a knack for rapping from a very young age and participated in several open mic competitions. But later found his footing in the industry when he released his highly coveted The Slim Shady LP in 1999.
From here there was no stopping for him, and he produced other highly acclaimed albums and songs such as The Marshall Mathers LP, The Watcher, and Encore, to name a few.
While this was his professional side, on the personal front, the rapper is a loving father. While the public is well aware of his daughter Hailie Jade, he also has two more daughters that he shares with his ex-wife.
Eminem’s Life as a Devoted Father to His Three Kids
Growing up, Eminem had a tough childhood and was the only child of Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. and Deborah Rae. However, his father abandoned the singer and his mother when he was only a year and a half old. While his own childhood was very heartbreaking, he makes sure to be there for his kids at every step. For context, the artist was married to his high school sweetheart Kimberly Anne Scott twice.
The first marriage took place in 1999, and the pair divorced in 2001. But the duo later reconnected and got married again in January of 2006. However, the rapper filed for divorce again in the same year but maintained a cordial relationship with one another.
The duo had their first child, Hailie Jade, born in 1995, but he also adopted his former sister-in-law’s daughter, Alaina Marie, as well. Not only Alaina, but he also legally adopted Scott’s daughter, Stevie Laine, from a previous relationship. Let’s dive deeper into each of Eminem’s kids.
Hailie Jade Scott
Being the daughter of one of the most influential rappers of all time is not an easy feat. This was something that Hailie Jade Scott had to go through at a very young age. She was born on December 25, 1995, in Detroit, Michigan, and has also been featured in some of her dad’s songs, such as Hailie’s Song and Temporary.
Eminem has been quite vocal about how Hailie Jade changed his life and has been a source of inspiration both professionally and personally. She herself is a proud daughter and can be constantly seen supporting her father as she did during his Rock & Roll induction in 2022.
Further, education-wise, she’s a graduate of Michigan State University with a degree in psychology. She also has a podcast named Just a Little Shady, and co-hosts it with Brittany Ednie.
In 2023, she announced her engagement to her boyfriend of five years, Evan McClintock, and married him in May 2024. The artist walked his daughter down the aisle, and also in attendance were artists like 50 Cent and Dr. Dre.
Alaina Marie Scott
Alaina Marie Scott is the daughter of Kimberly Anne Scott’s sister, Dawn Scott, and was born on February 22, 1993, in Michigan. Her mother struggled badly with substance abuse, which led to the rapper stepping in and adopting her in the 2000s. Sadly, Dawn Scott passed away in 2016 from a suspected overdose, but thanks to Eminem, Alaina had already found a stable home and care.
Education-wise, she attended Oakland University and earned a degree in communication with minors in public relations and advertising. Currently, she works as a travel blogger and can regularly be seen sharing tidbits of her adventures with her followers.
In 2021, she got engaged to her longtime boyfriend Matt Moeller and eventually tied the knot in 2023, with Eminem walking her down the aisle.
Stevie Laine Scott
Stevie Laine Scott was born on April 16, 2002, and is the child of Kimberly Anne Scott and her former partner, Eric Hartter. Anne Scott and Hartter dated between her two marriages to Eminem, but sadly the latter passed away in 2019. When both Anne Scott and Eminem reconciled in the 2000s, he formally adopted Stevie in 2005, making them a beloved member of his family.
In 2021, Stevie shared their journey towards self-acceptance and came out as nonbinary in a heartfelt TikTok video. At the moment, they are in a long-distance relationship with TikToker Declan Jace and often share moments from their relationship online.
Eminem Has a No-Swear Policy at Home
Eminem might be one of the greatest artists out there, but there are certain rules that even he has placed for himself. It’s commonly known how protective the singer is of his three children. In this regard, the rapper has banned all swear words in the house, as he believes what kind of a parent uses vulgar language in front of his kids. In an interview, he said:
Profanity around my house? No. I’m not saying there’s not glimpses of me in the music, that there’s no truth in things that I say, but this is music, this is my art. I’m a parent. I have daughters. I mean, how would I really sound, as a person walking around my house cussing. I don’t cuss.
The rapper himself uses very controversial and hard-hitting words in his songs. So, on the same subject, even the host of the interview inquired if he feels any kind of responsibility towards his young fans who listen to such songs. To this, he mentioned that their parents have to take care of them and shield them.
