A touching Father’s Day tribute received much attention after fans spotted a stunning resemblance that had them lighting up the comments section.
The daughter of renowned rapper Eminem, Hailie Jade Scott, sparked a wave of emotional and nostalgic reactions on June 15, 2025, after honoring her husband, Evan McClintock, with a Father’s Day post on Instagram. In addition to celebrating McClintock’s new role as a parent, netizens were captivated by their baby boy, whose appearance drew immediate comparisons to his famous grandfather.
On Sunday, Scott, 29, shared a post highlighting her and her husband’s life as a new family of three and celebrated the joy they’ve experienced since welcoming their son, Elliot, on March 14, 2025.
In the carousel of personal images, the influencer expressed her love and gratitude: “Watching you become a father has been the most beautiful experience. These first 3 months have been full of love, late nights, and learning together—and I truly can’t imagine doing any of it without you. Happy first Father’s Day.”
Although her message centered on appreciation for McClintock, the comment section quickly shifted focus to baby Elliot, more specifically, to whom he resembled. One person wrote, “He looks completely like his grandpa omg ❤️”, and another commented, “So cute! He def looks like his grandpa!”
Fans continued to share their impressions, each adding their take on the baby’s features. One admirer noted, “Luckiest boy in the world will never want for anything plus looks like his grandad”, while another gushed, “Awwww baby shady.”
Some observed how traits from both parents had mixed in. One person said, “Ok, this is the part where he looks like Daddy !” Another wrote, “Hailie he looks so much like you! Genes play hard in your family.”
A range of reactions continued pouring in. A viewer declared, “Looks just like his grandpa!! ❤️😍”, while another shared, “He’s definitely got features of both parents. I thought he was your twin before but he looks like Evan too.”
One thoughtful fan commented, “Evan, you are a great father! Forgive people for comparing your child to his grandfather.”
Scott’s followers have watched her life evolve over the past year, with major milestones documented on social media. In November, she reflected on the whirlwind that was 2024 with a post full of personal memories—from travel and concerts to her wedding and positive pregnancy tests.
She captioned the year-end update: “Feeling beyond thankful for this adventure-filled year. […] finding out baby m is a baby boy AND all the moments in between 🤍🤍🤍 so grateful & blessed. [sic]”
Weeks after Elliot’s birth in March, Scott introduced him to the world with a peaceful photo of the baby lying in a knit sweater, nestled on a hospital bed next to a black letterboard that read: “Elliot Marshall McClintock 03.14.25.”
The image revealed that the boy shares a middle name—Marshall—with his grandfather, whose full name is Marshall Mathers.
Furthermore, in May, Hailie Jade Scott shared a time-lapse video chronicling her pregnancy, celebrating each stage up to Elliot’s arrival. She expressed in her caption that carrying him was “the greatest gift of her life” and thanked him for making her a mother.
Not long after, she honored her first wedding anniversary with McClintock, posting joyful photos from their special day. In the post, Scott wrote that marrying him was “the easiest decision” she had ever made, and she toasted to their past year and their choice to spend the rest of their lives together.
This isn’t the first time that netizens have commented about Scott’s baby’s resemblance to Eminem. As previously reported, the internet didn’t hold back when the influencer posted her child’s first photo.
“He look like is Grandpa already his eyes [sic],” one person commented, sparking a wave of similar sentiments. Another wrote, “Looks kinda like his grandpa?? or am I tripping.”
Others were quick to point out a sweet detail about the baby’s name, with one saying, “And his initials are EM. That can’t be an accident.” Another added, “I love that his initials are EMM! Nickname after grandpa and sharing the middle name!”
Someone else noted, “Middle name tribute to Em,” while another commenter observed, “The fact that she named her son after him is a testament that he was a good father.” One fan simply summed it up with, “Adorable! Looks like Grampa!”
The legendary rapper shares a close bond with his daughter, who has been a steady presence in his music and his world for decades. Scott first made headlines in 2023 when she got engaged to her then-boyfriend. She celebrated the moment with a joyful Instagram post, sharing the happy news with her followers.
A year later, the couple tied the knot, and shortly after, Scott posted again, writing, “Waking up a wife this week 🥲💍 We couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful weekend celebration. So so many happy tears were shed, laughs & smiles were had, & 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 🤍,” the post continued.
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” featuring Skylar Grey, premiered, and it included a brief but emotional moment where Scott is seen telling her father she’s 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.
