Eminem has a third child who 'slipped under the radar' as they were brought up
It doesn’t take a massive Eminem fan to know the rapper is dad to daughter Hailie.
The now married 28-year-old is the subject of much of Slim Shady’s work of course from the likes of ‘Hailie’s Song’ to ‘Hailie’s Revenge’.
But the rapper is also dad to two others, with his third child having ‘slipped under the radar’ as they were brought up.

Eminem shares all three with his ex-wife Kim Scott. Alaina Scott is his eldest at 31 and was born to Kim’s sister Dawn, but the ‘Without Me’ rapper legally adopted her in the early 2000s as her mum struggled with drug use before her death in 2016.
She, of course, features in his work too and is notably name dropped in ‘Mockingbird’ as he raps: “Lainey, uncle’s crazy ain’t? Yeah, but he loves you, girl and you better know it.”
And Eminem’s third child is Stevie Laine Scott, 22, who was born to Kim with her then-boyfriend, Eric Hartter, between her two marriages with the rapper.
When they got back together, the star legally adopted Stevie in 2005.
In 2021, the youngest of the kids came out as non-binary with a heartwarming TikTok about their journey.
And as the youngest, it seems Stevie may have enjoyed some of those younger sibling privileges growing up.
During a previous episode of Hailie’s Just a Little Shady podcast, Alaina and Hailie chatted about how they seemed to get away with more from a younger age compared to the sisters’ stricter upbringings.
Alaina reflected on how she was ‘always getting in trouble’ as the eldest of the three, while it felt like the others didn’t quite have the same rules.
She pointed out some standards about her birthday party in the sixth grade (equivalent of UK’s year 7).
“I wanted to wear a two-piece bathing suit and I wasn't allowed. And I was like, Stevie came out the womb in a two-piece bathing suit, basically!” Alaina said.
Keeping up his tradition of referencing his kids in his work, Eminem’s latest track ‘Houdini’ was no different.
And he even went as far to include all three of them in the music video too.
During the banger, the rapper goes on a bit of a rampage as he calls out multiple people: “F**k them, f**k Dre, f**k Jimmy, f**k me, f**k you."
Eminem then turns on his family to say: “F**k my own kids, they’re brats.” They appear in the video on a call as they respond in shock to their dad.
