In a heartwarming Instagram post that sent fans into a frenzy, Hailie Jade Scott, the 29-year-old daughter of rap icon Eminem, shared a new photo of her 3-month-old son, Elliot Marshall McClintock, on June 14, 2025. The adorable snapshot, captioned simply “3 months already, little E 🤍,” featured baby Elliot nestled in a cozy blue blanket, gazing at the camera with wide, curious eyes. The post, liked by over a million followers within hours, sparked a wave of comments comparing the infant to his famous grandfather, Marshall Mathers—better known as Eminem. But amidst the buzz about Elliot’s uncanny resemblance to the “Lose Yourself” rapper, eagle-eyed fans spotted a subtle yet striking trait inherited from his grandmother, Kim Scott, that’s stealing the show and making Elliot’s face “perfectly balanced.”
A Star Is Born: Elliot’s Rise to Instagram Fame
Since Hailie announced Elliot’s birth on April 4, 2025, with a tender Instagram post revealing his name and birthdate (March 14, 2025), the world has been obsessed with the newest addition to the Mathers family. The initial photos showed Elliot in a light blue hooded sweater, posed in front of a sign reading “Elliot Marshall McClintock 03.14.25,” a nod to his grandfather’s real name, Marshall Mathers. Fans immediately noted similarities between the newborn and Eminem, with one X post from @Eminem_Pro on April 8, 2025, asking, “Do They Look Alike? #Eminem, His Daughter Hailie, and His Grandson Elliot — Side by Side 💙💙💙.” The side-by-side comparison went viral, highlighting Elliot’s fair skin and intense gaze, reminiscent of Eminem’s iconic brooding look.
Hailie, an influencer and podcaster with a massive following, has been selective about sharing Elliot’s photos, making each new post a major event. Her latest upload, showing Elliot at 3 months, reveals a chubbier, more expressive baby with a hint of a smile. “He’s growing so fast!” gushed one follower, while another wrote, “Those eyes are PURE Eminem!” But as fans zoomed in on the photo, a new conversation emerged about a feature that ties Elliot to his grandmother, Kim Scott, in a way no one saw coming.
The Hidden Trait: Kim Scott’s Influence Shines Through
Kim Scott, Eminem’s ex-wife and Hailie’s mother, has largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent years, but her presence in Elliot’s features is undeniable. Fans are now buzzing about Elliot’s “perfectly balanced” face, particularly his delicate, symmetrical cheekbones—a trait many attribute to Kim. “Everyone’s talking about Eminem’s eyes, but those cheekbones? That’s Kim Scott’s magic!” one commenter wrote on Hailie’s post. Another added, “Kim’s bone structure is giving Elliot that model-like face. He’s got the best of both worlds!”
Kim, who shares Hailie with Eminem (born December 25, 1995), has been referenced in the rapper’s music for her tumultuous relationship with him, but her physical features—high cheekbones, a soft jawline, and a natural glow—have always been striking. Photos of Kim from the ’90s, when she and Eminem were high school sweethearts, show a young woman with a poised, almost ethereal beauty. These same qualities seem to have skipped a generation, landing squarely on Elliot’s tiny face. “It’s like Kim’s genes snuck in there to soften Eminem’s intensity,” a fan remarked on X, sparking a thread of agreement.
Eminem’s Grandpa Glow: A Proud Family Man
Eminem, now 52, has embraced his new role as “Grampanem” with open arms. The rapper, who shares three children—Hailie, Alaina, and Stevie—with ex-wife Kim Scott, has always been vocal about his love for his kids. During a 2020 appearance on Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson, he called raising his children his “proudest accomplishment.” Hailie’s pregnancy announcement in October 2024, revealed through Eminem’s music video for “Temporary,” showed the rapper’s emotional reaction to receiving a Detroit Lions jersey labeled “GRANDPA.” The video, featuring ultrasound scans and clips of Hailie’s May 2024 wedding to Evan McClintock, tugged at fans’ heartstrings.
On May 18, 2025, Eminem made a surprise appearance at Jelly Roll’s Detroit concert, where he gave a heartfelt shoutout to Hailie and Evan’s wedding anniversary, further cementing his pride in his daughter’s milestones. Now, with Elliot in the picture, sources close to the family say Eminem is “over the moon.” “He’s already planning to spoil Elliot rotten,” an insider told Us Weekly. “Marshall sees so much of Hailie in him, but he’s also noticing those little details that remind him of Kim.”
Hailie and Evan: The Perfect Parents
Hailie and her husband, Evan McClintock, a 30-year-old business executive, have been basking in parenthood. The couple, who got engaged in February 2023 and married in May 2024, welcomed Elliot just 10 months after their wedding. Hailie’s Instagram Reel on May 11, 2025, celebrating her first Mother’s Day, showcased her pregnancy journey and included a clip of Elliot in a light blue onesie. “Growing you has been the greatest gift of my life,” she captioned the post, which racked up millions of views.
Evan, described by South China Morning Post as “the polar opposite” of Eminem’s intense persona, is said to be a calm, grounding presence for Hailie and Elliot. “Evan’s all about family,” a source shared. “He and Hailie are so in sync as parents.” Fans have praised the couple’s low-key approach to sharing Elliot’s life, with one X user, @msamanda1967, posting on June 15, 2025, “Baby Elliot is so cute 🥰 3 months. From Hailie Jade’s IG #Eminem𓃵.”
The Fan Frenzy: Elliot’s Future in the Spotlight?
As Elliot’s photos continue to captivate fans, speculation is growing about his future. “Is he gonna be a rapper like Grandpa?” one follower asked on Hailie’s post. Others predict a modeling career, citing his “perfectly balanced” features. “With Eminem’s eyes and Kim’s cheekbones, this kid’s gonna be a heartbreaker!” wrote another. For now, Hailie seems focused on enjoying motherhood, but her podcast, Just a Little Shady, has already hinted at future episodes discussing her new role as a mom.
Eminem’s family tree is no stranger to the spotlight. Hailie’s sisters, Alaina (adopted by Eminem, born to Kim’s sister Dawn Scott) and Stevie (also adopted, Kim’s biological child), have both made headlines—Alaina for her 2023 wedding and Stevie for their private life. But Elliot, as Eminem’s first grandchild, is already carving out his own space in the public’s heart.
A Perfect Blend of Mathers and Scott
Elliot Marshall McClintock is more than just a celebrity baby—he’s a living testament to the complex, enduring legacy of the Mathers-Scott family. His middle name, Marshall, honors his grandfather’s monumental career, while his delicate features, especially those Kim Scott cheekbones, remind fans of the quieter side of his lineage. As one X user put it, “Elliot’s got Eminem’s soul and Kim’s grace. This kid’s gonna be unstoppable.”
For now, Hailie’s latest photo of her 3-month-old son has given fans plenty to talk about, from his striking resemblance to Eminem to the subtle beauty inherited from Kim. As Elliot grows, one thing is certain: with a family this iconic, every milestone will be a headline. And if his perfectly balanced face is any indication, he’s already stealing the show.
