Eminem’s daughter Alaina Scott has announced she is expecting her first child.
Alaina is the biological daughter of the late Dawn Scott, who was the twin sister of Kim Scott, Eminem’s ex-wife, Daily Mail reports.
Eminem legally adopted her in the early 2000s as her mother struggled with drug use. Dawn died in 2016 from a suspected overdose
Announcing her happy news on Sunday, Eminem’s daughter Alaina Scott shared a joint Instagram post with her husband of two years Matt Moeller, gushing: ‘THE BEST OF YOU + ME.’
‘For months, I’ve carried a tiny heartbeat inside me, one that has already changed mine in every possible way,’ Eminem’s daughter Alaina Scott wrote.
‘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.’
‘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.’
The photos show Alaina surprising her husband, blindfolding him and leading him into a room at the home they are building with a huge gold ‘baby M’ balloon inside.
Alaina then hands a shocked Matt a shoebox with a pair of tiny sneakers and a positive pregnancy test inside.
Alaina’s sister Hailie, who welcomed her first child, son Eliot last year, was among those offering their congrats in the comments, writing that she was ‘sooo happy for you guys . can’t wait to be this little ones auntie & elliot is so excited to meet his cousin.’
Alaina and Hailie have a close bond, with Hailie serving as her sister’s bridesmaid during her 2023 wedding to Matt, whilst Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, walked his adopted daughter down the aisle.
Eminem and his ex Kim raised Alaina alongside Hailie and Kim’s youngest child Stevie, despite their own on-and-off relationship. The couple are now divorced.
He told Rolling Stone in 2004 ‘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 was at.’
Eminem also name-drops Alaina in his 2004 hit, ‘Mockingbird,’ rapping, ‘Lainey, uncle’s crazy ain’t he? / Yeah, but he loves you, girl and you better know it / We’re all we got in this world.’.
Alaina still lives in Michigan, where she grew up, and is a travel blogger and PR executive, whilst her family often feature on her Instagram account, which boasts 139k followers.
She has also used her social media to discuss her complicated relationship with her biological mother.
On Mother’s Day 2022 she posted about her relationship with Dawn, writing: ‘As a child who has lost their mom from addiction and because of that had a strained relationship I often felt a loss before I truly had to grieve my mom’s passing.
‘I used to be so angry and hurt by all of this, but as I’ve become older I can’t help but realize how much work it takes to be a good mama.
‘That sometimes our parents are hurting, searching, and trying to find themselves too – all while attempting to raise little ones. That often times they really are trying their best, even if their best isn’t that great.’
In 2018, two years after Dawn’s death and as what would have been her 43rd birthday approached, Alaina posted an old photo of her mother on Instagram and wrote:
‘Always missing you a lot during this time of the year, Mom. Can’t believe you would have been 43 in 3 days.’
It was Eminem who announced the impending birth of daughter Hailie’s first child by proudly holding up an ultrasound snap in his 2024 music video for Temporary (feat. Skylar Grey).
Detroit-based Hailie gave little Elliot the middle name Marshall in honor of her famous father’s first name.
Hailie – who boasts 6.9M Instagram/TikTok followers – hosts a podcast called Just a Little Shady and she’s every bit the influencer with paid partnerships for brands like Revlon, NutriBullet, and Watersquare Residencies
