Eminem’s beloved daughter Hailie is not any stranger to Slim Shady stuns as rapper has referred to her name several times in his songs. From Hailie’s Song, My Dad’s Gone Crazy, Kim (97) Bonnie and Clyde, Beautiful and My Darling, doting father has rapped about Hailie and was very vocal about problems he had with her mother Kim.

However, Hailie Jade Mathers is not rapper’s only daughter. Apart from his own, rapper, real name Marshall Mathers adopted Alaina Marie Mathers. Alaina born in 1993 joined family in 2016 following death of her mother, Dawn who was twin sister of Eminem’s ex-wife, Kim. While Alaina’s biological mother was alive, legal guardianship was given to rapper and Kim due to his sister-in-law’s inability to look after her. Although couple separated for good in 2006, he didn’t hesitate when it came to making decision of adopting Alaina Marie.

Despite being brought up by a famous rapper, 29-year-old manages to lead a peaceful life away from public eye. However, Alaina does mention her family and isn’t afraid to open up about it. Per UNILAD, in one post to her Instagram story, Alaina revealed what it was like to grow up with two sets of parents. She wrote at time, “I didn’t start calling my aunt and uncle mum and dad until I was older but having a meshed family is what’s always been normal to me. Side note just because you birth a child or provide sperm for a child doesn’t make you a parent.

Giving an insight into their family life in 2004 hit Mockingbird, he sang, “Lainey, uncle’s crazy ain’t he, yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it.” She is also mentioned in songs Deja Vu, where rapper says “good night, Alaina” and in Crazy In Love he sings, “You’re Slim to my Shady. Dre to my Eminem, Alaina to my Hailie”.
