In a touching tribute to her father, rapper Eminem, Hailie Jade has named her newborn daughter in a way that honors the music icon. The news has stirred heartfelt reactions across social media, as fans reflect on the close bond between Eminem and his daughter, Hailie Jade.
Hailie Jade, 28, recently welcomed her first child and announced the baby girl’s name on her podcast and Instagram—sparking a wave of admiration and nostalgia among longtime fans of Eminem. The name, “Stevie Jade Mathers,” is believed to incorporate a nod to Eminem’s family legacy, continuing the deep personal connection the rapper has often shared in his lyrics.
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, has publicly celebrated his role as a father throughout his career. Hailie Jade has been referenced in several of his most iconic songs, including “Mockingbird” and “Hailie’s Song,” making her a well-known figure among fans. The latest development has brought that connection full circle.
Though Hailie has largely stayed out of the spotlight, she’s built her own audience through her influencer career and podcast, Just a Little Shady. She married Evan McClintock earlier this year in an intimate ceremony attended by close friends and family, including Eminem himself—marking another public moment of unity between the two.
Social media lit up with messages of congratulations, with fans praising the sweet, subtle homage in the baby’s name. Several outlets like People Magazine and Billboard covered the announcement, confirming the powerful emotional connection fans still feel toward the Mathers family story.
