Reflecting on her marriage, Hailie shared, “Waking up a wife this week. 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. Evan and I are feeling so grateful for all of the family & friends that travelled to support us and be a part of this new chapter of our lives as husband & wife.”
The music video pays homage to Eminem’s bond with his daughter and has impacted fans all around the world. A variety of sentimental clips were featured, such as clips from Hailie’s wedding day and home videos from 1999.
Fans React To The Big News
The news of Hailie’s pregnancy has been met with an outpouring of love from fans across the globe. Many took to social media to express their admiration for Eminem, not only as a rapper but as a father.

One more fan remarked, “Damn, he made the classic ‘When I’m Gone’, nearly passed away, but he made it her wedding nearly 20 years later. The GOAT didn’t just win in Rap, he won in life.” Yet another user said, “This little girl was the reason many rap careers were ruined for decades. Em loves that little girl.”
Eminem’s Legacy As A Dad
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, has frequently referenced Hailie in his music over the years. From fan favorites like “Mockingbird” to the heartfelt “Hailie’s Song,” the artist has always made it clear that his daughter holds a special place in his life.
In “Mockingbird,” Eminem famously tells Hailie to “Straighten up, little soldier,” a line he revisits in the new track “Temporary.”
Eminem’s album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) addresses questions of family and heritage. Apart from “Temporary,” the album also included the song “Somebody Save Me,” which is an apology to his children for all the hardships they have had due to his fame and personal problems.
