Battle Creek, Michigan — Legendary rapper Eminem took to the dance floor in a tearjerker of a way for his only baby girl’s dream wedding, Hailie Jade. The father-daughter relationship developed on a beautiful evening, surrounded by well-dressed guests, at the enchanting Greencrest Manor—a French-style château in the middle of Battle Creek.
A timeless melody filled the air as Hailie glided across the ballroom floor. Her strapless wedding gown was form-fitting up top and cascaded out into a voluminous ruffled skirt, creating some kind of ethereal silhouette. The other part that fell lightly off her shoulders was the delicate veil, like a whisper of dreams. The smile that spread wide across her face was genuine, radiant with happiness, as she locked eyes with her father.
Eminem, having a reputation for ferocious lyrics and an unforgiving display, came up with every conventional look in his black tux. The clean white shirt beneath the blazer and the black color bow tie added a bit to more style and elegance to his look recently but the handsome sun glasses slightly transformed his otherwise ferocious face. And then the world saw this other side of the rap legend. He took Hailie’s hand and guided her through the dance as a silent reassurance that one day he would finally learn to let go of his little girl.
Greencrest Manor with its ivy-covered walls and great sprawling gardens provided the perfect backdrop as the grand ballroom was alight with the twinkling chandeliers in the midst of the guests mingling. Hailey’s gown now looked bleached by the sea of black—purity and hope. Their laughter and applause in the large hall sounded a celebration of love and family.

Hailie Jade, now 28, has come a long way from her childhood days. Graduating in Psychology from Michigan State University, she was able to maintain an inspiring GPA grade of 3.9, which other intelligence and grace radiates from her. As an influencer, she has her popular podcast “Just A Little Shady” with fans in different countries. On this night, though, she was just a daughter, twirling in her father’s arms.
And then, there were Eminem’s other kids—Alaina Marie Scott and Stevie Laine Mathers, who stood among the guests. They show that this is a family that has been able to stay together amidst storms and celebrate triumphs amidst each other. Her mother, Kim Scott, had her own battles—a past mired in abuse and survival. But here they are, observing at close range how their little Hailie has now become an adult, and from being a childhood sweetheart, she is now a bride.
Hailie met Evan McClintock in their university days when they were already pursuing dreams side by side. On February 6, 2023, Evan proposed—sealing their love story. As they swayed to the music, anticipation hung in the air—their life together unfolding like a blank canvas, waiting for colors yet unseen.
The star-studded event was attended by the likes of 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, and Jimmy Iovine, who all came on to pay tribute to Eminem’s legacy. But Hailie captured it all in an Instagram post, with images that will make you both laugh and cry. As the dance came to a close, Eminem whispered in his daughter’s ear, “You’ve got this.” And within that silence, between two people, love and hope converged, making a promise of a happy ending for at least one of those two companions.
