'Baby Shady': Fans freak out over how much Eminem’s grandson 'looks completely like his grandpa'

A heartwarming Father’s Day message gained a lot of attention as admirers noticed a striking resemblance and lit up the comments section. Hailie Jade Scott, the daughter of legendary musician Eminem, generated a wave of emotional and nostalgic responses on June 15, 2025, when she honored her husband, Evan McClintock, with a Father’s Day Instagram post. In addition to praising McClintock’s new role as a parent, netizens were taken by their infant boy, whose features drew immediate resemblance to his famous grandpa.

Scott, 29, uploaded a tweet on Sunday emphasizing her and her husband’s life as a new family of three and celebrating the love they’ve felt since the birth of their son, Elliot, on March 14, 2025.

In the carousel of intimate photographs, the influencer emphasized her love and gratitude: “Seeing you become a parent has been the most wonderful experience. These first three months have been filled with love, late nights, and learning together—and I honestly cannot fathom doing any of it without you. Happy First Father’s Day.”

Although her letter emphasized her appreciation for McClintock, the comment area rapidly switched to baby Elliot and, more especially, who he resembled. One user said, “He looks completely like his grandpa, omg ❤️,” and another commented, “So cute!” “He definitely looks like his grandfather!”

Fans proceeded to offer their thoughts, each giving their perspective on the baby’s traits. One admirer wrote, “The Luckiest boy in the world will never want for anything, plus he looks like his grandfather,” while another exclaimed, “Awwwwww, baby Shady!”

Some observers noted that the child’s features reflected a blend of both parents. One commenter commented, “Ok, this is the part where he looks like Daddy!” Another said, “Hailie, he looks so much like you!” Genes have a significant role in your family.

Various reactions continued to stream in. One user said, “Looks just like his grandpa!! ❤️😍,” while another said, “He’s definitely got features of both parents.” I believed he was your twin, but he also looks like Evan.”

One considerate admirer said, “Evan, you are an excellent father!” Forgive people who compare your child to his grandfather.

Scott’s fans have witnessed her life change over the last year, with important milestones captured on social media. In November, she shared a post consisting of personal experiences from 2024, including travel, concerts, her wedding, and positive pregnancy tests.

She captioned the year-end update: “Feeling really grateful for this adventure-filled year. […] discovering that baby M is a baby boy AND all the moments in between 🤍🤍🤍 incredibly grateful and lucky.

Scott revealed Elliot to the world weeks after his birth in March, with a calm snapshot of the baby lying in a knit sweater on a hospital bed next to a black letterboard that read, “Elliot Marshall McClintock 03.14.25.”

The photograph indicated that the kid shared a middle name (Marshall) with his grandpa, Marshall Mathers.

Furthermore, in May, Hailie Jade Scott uploaded a time-lapse film of her pregnancy, commemorating each milestone until Elliot’s arrival. She said in her post that carrying him was “the greatest gift of her life” and thanked him for making her a mother.

Not long later, she celebrated her first wedding anniversary with McClintock, sharing joyful photographs from their big day. Scott stated in the article that marrying him was “the easiest decision” she had ever made, and she celebrated the last year and their decision to spend the rest of their lives together.

This isn’t the first time netizens have pointed out Scott’s baby’s likeness to Eminem. As previously reported, the internet reacted strongly when the influencer shared her child’s first snapshot.

“He looks like Grandpa already in his eyes [sic],” one person said, eliciting a flood of similar responses. Another said, “Looks like his grandfather?? Or am I tripping?”

Others were eager to point out a cute detail about the baby’s name, with one commenting, “And his initials are EM.” That cannot be an accident.” Another person said, “I adore that his initials are EMM!” Nicknamed after Grandpa and has his middle name!”

Someone else said, “Middle name tribute to Em,” while another said, “The fact that she named her son after him is a testament that he was a good father.” One fan simply said, “Adorable!” “Looks like Grampa!”

The iconic rapper has a deep relationship with his daughter, who has been a constant fixture in his music and life for decades. Scott initially made news in 2023, when she became engaged to her then-boyfriend. She marked the occasion with a joyous Instagram post, informing her fans of the good news.

A year later, the pair married, and shortly after, Scott commented, “Waking up a wife this week. 🥲💍 We couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful weekend celebration.” So many happy tears were cried, laughter and smiles were shared, and so much love was felt.”

“Evan and I are feeling so grateful for all of the family & friends that traveled to support us and be a part of this new chapter of our lives as husband & wife 🤍,” concluded the blog post.

That new chapter soon expanded. On October 3, 2024, Scott returned to Instagram to announce her pregnancy with a simple but touching caption, “mom & dad est. 2025 🤍.”

On the same day, the music video for Eminem’s single “Temporary” starring Skylar Grey was released, and it featured a brief but poignant scene in which Scott informs her father that she is expecting.

As her pregnancy progressed, Scott opened up about the experience on her podcast, “Just a Little Shady.” During one episode, she reflected on the surreal nature of becoming a mom, “I think I even can’t wrap my head around it—like I have to meet this human that I’ve created.” That curiosity finally found its answer when she welcomed her son.
