Eminem‘s daughter, Hailie Jade, has said that she now understands her father’s struggle for privacy better since becoming a parent herself.
Hailie Jade gave birth to her first child in March of this year and has largely looked to protect her baby from the media spotlight.
In an interview with People, the younger Mathers commented: “Having been in the spotlight for so long, I’ve learned the importance of balancing what I share publicly with what I keep private.”
She continued: “Over time, I’ve come to understand the struggle my father faced — wanting to protect our privacy while also feeling proud and wanting to celebrate his kids.”

Hailie Jade went on to say that it was a move she was looking to replicate now with her own family: “I feel the same way now. I want to share the proud, joyful moments that mean a lot to me, especially as a parent, but I’m also intentional about keeping certain parts of our lives just for us.”
Hailie Jade named her first born Evan Marshall McClintock with the baby boy’s middle name an obvious nod to his famous grandfather who’s real name is Marshall Mathers.
Longtime family friend 50 Cent appears to gearing up for honorary fun uncle duties as he reposted Hailie’s photo of baby Evan on his own Instagram page and said: “Congratulations. This is the best. WOW!”

The news was also welcomed by Eminem’s adopted daughter Alaina, who commented: “Obsessed with this tiny human and could not be more in awe of YOU mama!!! Motherhood is such a beautiful thing and you make it look easy. I am SO proud of you and grateful you have Evan.”
Eminem learned that he was going to be a grandfather in a surprise reveal in his music video for “Temporary,” which featured various daddy-daughter moments between him and Hailie from over the years.
In the clip, the pair can be sitting outside when Hailie hands Em a custom jersey from his beloved Detroit Lions adorned with “Grandpa #1” on the back. She then shares her sonogram, much to her dad’s pure shock and joy.
