According to exclusive sources, Eminem is eagerly preparing for his next big role — becoming a grandpa — and while he is excited about this new chapter, the rap icon continues to embrace a life of privacy far from the spotlight.
Em’s daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, recently revealed she was expecting her first child, and sources say that Eminem could not be happier.
“He’s excited about becoming a grandpa”, an exclusive source told PEOPLE. This exciting news came out with the release of Eminem’s latest music video for the song “Temporary”, where fans got a glimpse into Hailie’s life, including her pregnancy reveal and throwback moments with her dad.
Despite his superstar status, insiders say Eminem has always preferred to keep things low-key. “He’s always enjoyed privacy”, one source shared, mentioning that his massive property outside Detroit, where he partly recorded his most recent album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)”, helps him stay away from the public eye. “In Michigan, he can live exactly how he wants. He was never comfortable in the spotlight”.
Another insider adds, “He’s super low-key. He doesn’t travel with an entourage. He’s still an incredibly cool guy but also very ‘normal’. He keeps to himself these days and is definitely an artist but not a diva”.
It’s no surprise to fans that Eminem is all about family, especially when it comes to Hailie. “A big focus in his life is his daughter”, says a source, highlighting how close they are, living near each other in Michigan. “They’re very close. He’s excited about becoming a grandpa and supporting her. He’s always been very protective of her”.
While fans may be hoping for some juicy insider secrets, it seems there is nothing we did not already know about Eminem’s private life. He’s just a devoted dad, now gearing up to be an equally devoted grandpa, while staying true to his love for Detroit and his low-key lifestyle.
As one insider put it, “He’s really loyal to that”. And fans would not expect anything less from the Rap God himself.
