Hailie Jade reveals how she hid her pregnancy until Eminem announced exciting news in new music video

Rap God Eminem recently revealed that he was going to become a grandpa in an emotional music video where, in a rare sight, he teared up.

Some fans said it was the first time they'd ever seen him cry, as in the video his daughter Hailie Jade handed him a sports jersey with 'Grandpa 1' on the back.

Yep, it turns out that she and husband Evan McClintock are expecting a new member of the family, and in the video to 'Temporary' grandad-to-be Eminem held up an ultra scan picture of the baby.

It's a lovely tender moment and the music video is full of heartfelt clips of his life with Hailie, even as the lyrics leave a message for her about what things might be like when he's gone.

Fortunately he's still sticking around for a good while yet, and he'll get to see his grandkid soon enough.

The pregnancy has come as a surprise and Hailie explained how she was able to keep the fact that she had a baby on the way a secret for so long.

It turns out she got by with a little help from her friends, revealing that her best pal Brittany Ednie had secretly been quaffing her alcoholic drinks to keep it a secret.

In the latest episode of the Just A Little Shady podcast she said her friend 'covered for' her during a recent wedding she was at.

Ednie explained: "I need to also defend myself now that this is public knowledge, that you are pregnant, because at said wedding, people did not know that she was pregnant.

"So she was, you know, grabbing a drink, not consuming the drink as a responsible parent does.

"Whenever people were turned around, she would hand me her drink, and I would chug so it looked as if she was continuously drinking throughout the night."

Hailie praised her friend for 'taking one for the team' by drinking her alcohol without even really being asked to.

She said she 'never really asked you to do it' and it was just 'an unspoken thing with our eyes' that got her to help out and keep the secret.

Now they don't have to pretend anymore since the announcement, which has made the news public to millions of people.

Hailie Jade married partner Evan McClintock earlier this year, and footage in the 'Temporary' video shows the father-of-the-bride dancing with his daughter while she wore her wedding dress.
