Rapping legend Eminem is best known for his impressive music career, but is now becoming a grandfather for the second time after his daughter Alaina announced her pregnancy
Eminem rose to fame throughout his life due to his impressive musical talents, but he is also known for being a father to three children. He became a granddad earlier this year after his daughter Hailie Mathers gave birth, but now his other daughter, Alaina Marie Scott, is also set to be a mum.
She announced the exciting news via a series of photos on social media. In the first photo, Alaina and her partner, Matt Moeller, held up a baby-gro as they stood in a field and smiled, while another picture showed him blindfolded as she guided him into a building.
Others showed him removing his blindfold to be greeted with balloons and the announcement in the form of baby Nike sneakers and a positive pregnancy test. She captioned the post: “The best of you and me. For months, I’ve carried a tiny heartbeat inside me, one that has already changed mine in every possible way.
“There’s something indescribable about knowing there’s a little life growing, dreaming, and becoming, all while you go about your day, whispering prayers and hopes only they can hear.”
She added: “I’ve never felt more grateful for this gift and to grow our family, something we’ve wanted for so long. Thank you, God, for this blessing. Baby M, we can’t wait to meet you, little one.”
Eminem shares children Hailie Jade, Alaina, and Stevie Laine with his ex-wife, Kim Scott. Alaina is Kim’s sister’s daughter, but Eminem legally adopted her in the 00s as her mother struggled with drug use and died in 2016.
The Daily Star reported Eminem took in the youngster so she could grow up in a stable family environment. It meant Alaina could grow up in a loving home alongside Hailie and Stevie, Eminem and Kim.
Speaking previously, Alaina told fans on Instagram: “I didn’t start calling my aunt and uncle mum and dad until I was older but having a meshed family is what’s always been normal to me. Side note; just because you birth a child or provide the sperm for a child doesn’t make you a parent.
“Some people think Mom and Dad titles should be earned. I always called my bio Mom and Dad, Mom and Dad but I respect if your ‘parents’ weren’t there if you don’t call them that. Boundaries are key.”
However, Alaina’s mum, Dawn, was found dead in January 2016 following an accidental overdose. In order to distance Alaina from the heartache, Eminem legally changed her surname to Mathers upon adoption, but she’s known publicly by her birth name.
Despite being his adopted daughter, Alaina refers to Eminem as uncle, a fact he acknowledged in his song Mockingbird, saying “Lainey, uncle’s crazy ain’t he, yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it,” with Alaina previously publicly acknowledging the 52-year-old as her father figure.
In a 2004 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Eminem opened up about his children, stating: “I have full custody of my niece and joint custody of Hailie. 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 were at.”
Alaina also chose a different career path from her famous father, going into academia instead of music. She studied Public Relations at the University of Oakland, graduating on April 27, 2017.
At the time, Alaina took to Instagram to share photos from her graduation day. One snap saw her posing with a graduation cap, embellished with the words: “1st generation grad. Thanks mom & dad,” while another showed her spraying a bottle of champagne in celebration.”
The mum-to-be tends to leave her famous dad out of her social media posts but one Father’s Day, she shared a snap of Eminem’s back while he wore a personalised T-shirt that read: “The best kind of father raises an ADP daughter”.
Alongside the post, she wrote: “It’s true and I got the best one out there.” Alaina tied the knot back in 2023 with her long-term boyfriend Matt after being together for seven years prior.
The special day was held in Detroit and all her family joined in on the celebrations. Alaina tends to spend her free time visiting various exotic places. Last year she and her husband travelled over to Southern Europe where they took in the sights and visited Rome, Italy.
