Hailie Jade Mathers, Eminem's daughter, revealed how she hid her pregnancy at her wedding and before her dad's big reveal. The 28-year-old revealed on the Friday, October 4, episode of Just A Little Shady podcast the clever way her friend and co-host, Brittany Ednie, helped conceal her pregnancy.
After Hailie Jade called Ednie out for being a bit tipsy during a wedding they both attended "a couple of weeks ago," Ednie defended herself, saying:
"I need to also defend myself now that this is public knowledge, that you are pregnant, because at said wedding, people did not know that she [Mathers] was pregnant."
Ednie explained how she helped conceal the fact that Eminem's daughter is expecting by drinking her share of alcohol so no one would suspect anything. She added:
"So she was, you know, grabbing a drink, not consuming the drink as a responsible parent does... Whenever people were turned around, she would hand me her drink, and I would chug so it looked as if she was continuously drinking throughout the night."
Mathers was grateful for Ednie during the said event, saying that her friend was "taking one for the team." Hailie Jade, however, defended herself for her friend's drunken escapade, noting that she never asked Ednie to do it. However, she also stated that "it was like an unspoken thing with our eyes." Up until that wedding, the soon-to-be mom explained how her husband was the one secretly sipping her drinks during events.
Hailie Jade previously announced her pregnancy in Eminem's music video
A day before Hailie Jade revealed how her friend helped conceal her pregnancy at a wedding, she debuted the news of her first baby in Eminem's song Temporary's music video. The rapper released the heartfelt misc video on Thursday, which he dedicated to his daughter.
The five-minute video features old photos and video clips of young Hailie Jade, Eminem's daughter with his ex Kim Scott. The couple welcomed their daughter in 1995 when he was still 23. Eminem is heartfelt and open in Temporary, where he said his biggest fear is "not being able to say all the things I wanna say to you when I'm no longer here." The music video is his way of telling his daughter everything he can while he's still here.
Between the throwback pictures, the music video also shares footage of Eminem's daughter's wedding. The Death of Slim Shady rapper first appeared in the video wearing a suit and tie while climbing the stairs before greeting his daughter for a first look. Elsewhere in the video, Hailie Jade and Eminem are sitting on an outdoor porch as she hands him a Detroit Lions football jersey.
However, it isn't an ordinary jersey because it says "Grandpa" on the back. She also hands the rapper a sonogram image, and the footage captures Eminem's shocked face, complete with widened eyes and a jaw drop.
On the same day as the Temporary music video release, Hailie Jade shared the pregnancy news on her Instagram. In the picture, she's sitting on the kitchen counter with her arms around her husband's shoulder as they gaze at each other. She is also holding a sonogram picture. She kept the post simple with a "mom & dad est. 2025" caption.
