Will the grandpa-to-be please stand up?
And with that, Eminem, 51, is sharing his excitement and shock over becoming a grandfather for the first time, as his daughter Hailie Jade confirmed she's expecting her first baby with husband Evan McClintock.
And the 28-year-old had a very special way to surprise her father, which was shared in the music video for a "Temporary," his latest single dedicated to Hailie.
In the video, Hailie can be seen walking out to her rapper father and handing him a "#1 Grandpa" jersey and a sonogram of her bundle of joy. And while she was clearly soaking up the moment, Eminem—who shares Hailie with ex Kim Scott—was completely stunned.
The "Slim Shady" rapper looks back and forth between his daughter and the camera, before flashing the sonogram for the viewer with a look of disbelief on his face, while Hailie continues to look visibly delighted by his reaction.
The rest of the music video also features tributes to Hailie, with footage of her as a little girl, all the way up through her wedding to Evan in May.
Towards the end of the video, Eminem included a card from Hailie, which read in part, "Thank you for doing everything you do & always being there for us girls. You truly are the best dad in the world. Love you forever + 100 million dollars forever ever & always."
Over the years, Hailie has talked about how her father's music has impacted her as she's gotten older, especially with the dedication of "Temporary," and his track with Jelly Roll, "Somebody Save Me," which depicts an alternate reality in which the rapper never got sober and missed family milestones.
"The 'Somebody Save Me' music video is out and I did watch the thing," she shared on her Just a Little Shady podcast in August. "I don't think I can do it again. I definitely cry every time I hear it at all."
She added, "Between that and 'Temporary,' OK, well, that I listened to and it broke me. I audibly sobbed I think for both songs, but especially 'Temporary.'"
And while it was fun for Hailie to see clips of her and siblings Alaina, 31, and Stevie, 22, when they were younger in their dad's music video, she explained that it's getting harder for her emotionally to handle a lot of it.
"The older I get," she said, "the less I can listen to any of the songs."

Born Kimberly Ann Scott, the Michigan native was Eminem's high school sweetheart. She welcomed their daughter Hailie Jade in 1995.
Kim was married to the rapper from 1999 to 2001, and briefly again in 2006. Their tumultuous relationship has been referenced in several of Eminem's songs, including "'97 Bonnie & Clyde," "Puke" and "Bad Husband."
"In our relationship, there's a pattern," Kim said of their on-and-off romance in a 2007 interview with 20/20. " We'll have two good years and then it will go bad for some reason. It's like a two-year max with us and we hadn't reached the two years yet. I just didn't want to rush into anything before the two years."
However, Kim noted that Eminem has always been an "excellent" father.
"He loves the kids very much," she shared. "He's always lending a helping hand."
Eminem and Kim welcomed Hailie on Dec. 25, 1995. According to music star, her birth was a "real wake-up call" to "get my a-- in gear."
"Everything that I am doing right now is for Hailie," he told Q magazine in 2001. "The money—it's for her college."
She spent most of her youth under Eminem's 15,000-square-foot roof in the Detroit suburbs, before attending Michigan State University to study psychology. There, she started fellow Spartan Evan McClintock, who she got engaged to in February 2023.
"She's doing good," Eminem said of Hailie during a 2020 episode of Hotboxin' With Mike Tyson, adding that the influencer—who now goes by Hailie Jade—graduated from college with a 3.9 GPA. "She's made me proud for sure."
Born on Feb. 22, 1993, Alaina is the daughter of Kim's sister Dawn Scott.
She was adopted by Eminem in the early aughts due to her mother's struggles with addiction. "I have full custody of my niece and joint custody of Hailie," the 8 Mile star told Rolling Stone in 2004. "I was always there for Hailie, and my niece has been a part of my life ever since she was born. Me and Kim pretty much had her, she'd live with us wherever we was at."
Having been largely raised by Eminem, the Oakland University alum calls him "dad" and had him accompany her down the aisle when she wed Matt Moeller in June 2023.
"He wasn't going to miss that," she told People after the nuptials, during which Hailie served as a Maid of Honor. "None of this would have been possible without my dad. I'm beyond blessed."
Her mother passed away in 2016 at the age of 41.
Kim welcomed Stevie on April 16, 2002, with her then-boyfriend Eric Hartter. Eminem legally adopted Stevie in 2005, when he reconciled with Kim.
Stevie came out as nonbinary in August 2021, sharing in a TikTok video that they identify using "all pronouns."
They added in the caption, "forever growing and changing."
Born in 1955 at a military base in Kansas, Debbie is the mother of Eminem.
She married the "Without Me" artist's father Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. when she was 15, according to her 2008 memoir My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem. She began pregnant with Eminem 16 months later and relocated to Michigan, where her maternal grandmother lived.
Debbie and Eminem's strained relationship has been documented in several of his songs, including his 2002 smash hit "Cleanin' Out My Closet." In the track, he alleged that Debbie abused prescription pills when he was young—which she denied in her autobiography.
"What mother wants to be known as a pill-popping alcoholic who lives on welfare?" she wrote. "None of it was true, but the fibs kept getting bigger, and ultimately Marshall and I became estranged."
However, Eminem has since expressed regret in airing out his family drama. In his 2013 song "Headlights," he rapped, "I went in headfirst, never thinking about who, what I said hurt / In what verse, my mom probably got it the worst."
