Hailie Jade Mathers and her best friend Brittany Ednie shared the clever way in which Ednie helped Mathers hide her pregnancy before her father, rapper Eminem, announced the news. Ednie confessed to secretly drinking all of Mathers’ alcoholic beverages at a wedding to avoid raising any suspicions among their friends. She would only pretend to drink while handing her own drink to Ednie to consume whenever people were not looking. Mathers praised Ednie for taking one for the team, even though she never asked her to do so, and it became an unspoken understanding between the two friends.
Before Ednie took on the responsibility of pretending to drink Mathers’ alcoholic beverages, Mathers’ now-husband, Evan McClintock, had been the one secretly sipping her drinks during social events. However, the couple was careful to ensure that McClintock was not nearby while they were talking to different groups of people to avoid giving anything away. In addition, Mathers mentioned that the drink being consumed was a lavender lemonade, which McClintock didn’t prefer, so Ednie volunteered to help out by pretending to consume the drink.
Mathers’ pregnancy news was officially revealed in Eminem’s new music video for his song “Temporary,” where he announced the news to the world. In the video dedicated to Mathers, the soon-to-be mom handed her famous dad a Detroit Lions jersey with “grandpa” written on the back, leaving Eminem visibly shocked and amazed. Additionally, she gave her father a picture of her sonogram, which she later shared on Instagram along with her husband, Evan McClintock.
The expecting parents, Mathers and McClintock, met in 2016 and got engaged seven years later, with the rapper walking her down the aisle in May 2024. Eminem became a father back in December 1995 when Hailie Jade Mathers was born to him and his then-wife Kim Scott, whom he was married to twice before their final separation in 2006. Eminem also adopted two other daughters – Alaina, Kim’s sister’s daughter, and Stevie, Kim’s child from a previous relationship – when they were young, expanding his family further.
Hailie Jade Mathers and Brittany Ednie’s funny anecdote about hiding her pregnancy showcased the close bond between the two friends and the extent to which Ednie went to make sure Mathers’ secret remained under wraps. The unique way in which Ednie covered for Mathers by pretending to drink her beverages during a wedding highlighted the humor and creativity the two friends shared. Eminem’s announcement of Mathers’ pregnancy in his music video added an exciting twist to the story, creating a funny and heartwarming narrative of friendship, family, and love.
