Family moments are taking center stage for Eminem lately—and this time, it’s not about a new album or tour.
It’s all about his newest (and tiniest) family member.
Eminem’s four-month-old grandson, Elliot, just made a heart-melting appearance on social media, dressed as his granddad’s superhero alter ego “Rapboy.”
And yes, it’s just as cute as it sounds.
Baby Elliot Suits Up as Rapboy
Hailie Jade McClintock, Eminem’s daughter, gave fans a peek into a sweet family moment by sharing a photo of her son on Instagram.
The little one was dressed up as Rapboy—a character Eminem first brought to life in his 2002 Without Me video.
The look is still iconic two decades later, and Eminem even revived it last year for his Houdini video.
Now, baby Elliot is carrying on the legacy in his own pint-sized way.
A Grandfather’s Influence Behind the Costume
Fans were quick to point out the touching connection.
One follower wrote, “The grandfather is grandfathering!” while another chimed in, “You know his grandson inspired this.”
And they’re not wrong—Eminem has been proudly promoting a $35 “Rapboy Baby Onesie” through his Shady Baby merch line since June.
This isn’t just a cute costume; it’s a continuation of the bond between Eminem and his growing family.
Hailie Jade Shares the Joy of Parenthood
Eminem first let the world know that Hailie was expecting during his 2024 music video Temporary featuring Skylar Grey.
He held up an ultrasound photo in the video, clearly bursting with pride.
Hailie and her husband, Evan McClintock, welcomed Elliot earlier this year, even giving him the middle name “Marshall” to honor his grandfather’s real name.
Speaking with People in June, Hailie opened up about how she now understands her dad’s balance between fame and family:
“Over time, I’ve come to understand the struggle my father faced—wanting to protect our privacy while also feeling proud… I want to share joyful moments, but I’m also intentional about keeping some things just for us.”
From Childhood to Motherhood, With Evan By Her Side
Now 29, Hailie has built a life of her own with Evan, whom she started dating back in 2016 and married just over a year ago.
She credits him for being an anchor through this new chapter, saying she “can’t imagine doing any of it without” him.
Their life isn’t entirely private—Hailie shares glimpses through her lifestyle podcast Just a Little Shady and has built a strong social media following of nearly 7 million fans across Instagram and TikTok.
She also partners with major brands like Revlon, NutriBullet, and Watersquare Residencies.
A Complicated Family History
While Hailie’s family life looks bright now, it hasn’t always been easy.
Her mother, Kim Scott, has had a long and painful struggle with mental health.
Back in 2021, Kim was hospitalized following an apparent suicide attempt shortly after the death of her own mother.
It wasn’t her first attempt—she had also driven her car into a telephone pole during a breakdown in 2015.
Eminem and Kim’s on-again-off-again relationship was famously rocky.
The couple divorced twice—first in 2001, then again in 2006—after only a few years of marriage in total.
Eminem’s Bigger Role as a Father and Grandfather
Eminem’s role as a parent has always gone beyond Hailie.
He also adopted Kim’s child, Stevie Laine (who identifies as nonbinary), and took in Alaina, the daughter of Kim’s late sister Dawn.
He’s often expressed how important fatherhood is to him, both in interviews and in his music.
Now, with baby Elliot in the picture, he’s stepped into the role of grandfather—and by the looks of things, he’s loving every second of it.
Looking Ahead: Eminem’s Story Continues on the Big Screen
If you’re a longtime fan, there’s even more to look forward to.
A new documentary titled Stans—named after Eminem’s infamous 2000 song—will hit theaters worldwide from August 7 to 10.
The film will explore his deep connection with his fans and his complicated rise to fame.
