EMINEM fans might remember his young daughter Hailie from his rap lyrics in the early 2000s.
Fast forward years later, Hailie Jade Mathers is all grown up and married to her college boyfriend, Evan McClintock.
Who is Hailie Jade Scott Mathers?
Hailie Jade Scott Mathers is the daughter of rap superstar Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers.
Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Hailie was born on Christmas Day in 1995 to Mathers and his ex-wife Kimberly Scott. Hailie Mathers is her father’s only biological child but she also has two adopted siblings, Alaina and Stevie.
Mathers adopted Alaina in the early 2000s – the exact date is unknown – from Scott’s sister Dawn after she struggled with drug use and later adopted Scott’s child from her first marriage to Eric Hartter, Whitney, who now uses they/their pronouns and goes by Stevie.
She graduated from Chippewa Valley High School in 2014 with honors and is now a social media influencer and podcast host.
Her Instagram account, @hailiejade, boasts over 3 million followers.
Who is Hailie Jade Scott Mathers’ fiancé, Evan McClintock?
Hailie Mathers started dating Evan McClintock in college and the two have been together for over five years.
In 2018, sources close to Hailie told The Daily Mail that she and McClintock met when they both attended Michigan State University, where Mathers studied psychology and McClintock studied economics.
Hailie is generally very private about her relationship with McClintock, but in a rare Instagram post on February 2022, she uploaded a photo kissing her long-term boyfriend with the caption, “Yesterday & every day.”
This was the first time she had shared a photo with McClintock since July 2021 when she wrote, “I rarely share my feed, but when I do I’m happy it’s with you.”
Eminem previously spoke on Mike Tyson’s Hot Boxin podcast in March 2020 to say how “proud” he was of his daughter.
“Hailie is 23, no babies, she has a boyfriend, but she’s doing good. She’s made me proud for sure, she’s graduated from college,” the Grammy Award winner said.

What songs has Eminem written about Hailie?
Eminem has written multiple songs dedicated to and about his daughter Hailie since he began his career.
In 1998, his track 97 Bonnie and Clyde, which alluded to his relationship with Kim, featured Hailie’s vocals.
“I lied to Kim and told her I was taking Hailie to Chuck E. Cheese that day,” the rapper told Rolling Stone.
Notable tracks dedicated to his daughter also include Hailie’s Song, which was released in 2002 as part of The Eminem Show album, and Mockingbird, which was released in 2005 as part of his Encore album. Lyrics from When I’m Gone, released in 2005, also relate to Hailie.
One of Eminem’s greatest hits, Cleaning Out My Closet, explicitly mentions Hailie.
“And Hailie’s gettin’ so big now / You should see her, she’s beautiful,” the lyrics read.
In his 2017 song In Your Head, the award-winning rapper apologized to Hailie for constantly mentioning her in his records.
“Hailie, baby, I didn’t mean to make you eighty percent of what I rapped about / Maybe I shoulda did a better job at separating Shady and entertaining from real life,” he rapped.
