“He’s excited about becoming a grandpa,” a source tells PEOPLE of Eminem, whose daughter Hailie Jade Scott is expecting her first child
Eminem is looking forward to life as a grandfather!
The Grammy winner, 51, is “excited” about the next steps for his family and is “very protective” of his daughter Hailie Jade Scott, a source tells PEOPLE.
The insight into the rapper’s personal life comes following the Friday, Oct. 4 release of his latest music video for song “Temporary,” in which his 28-year-old daughter revealed that she’s expecting her first baby with her husband, Evan McClintock.
“He’s always enjoyed privacy,” the source says of the musician, adding that Eminem’s “huge” property outside of Detroit — where he recorded some of his most recent LP, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) — “keeps him out of the public eye.”
“In Michigan, he can live exactly how he wants,” the source adds of Eminem, who welcomed his only child with ex Kim Scott at age 23 in 1995. “He was never comfortable in the spotlight.”
