Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade reveals how she hid pregnancy before emotional announcement

Just days after breaking the delightful news that she and her husband are expecting their first child, Hailie Jade has revealed the unconventional ways she was able to hide her pregnancy - including from her father, rapper Eminem.

Firstly, let's take a look back at their headline-hitting announcement:

Both Hailie, 28, and her chart-topping dad made their family's announcement together last week during the release of his latest single.

The 51-year-old musician had been teasing his new track 'Temporary' - on which Hailie actually featured - for several months.

And finally, the music video landed on YouTube last week, containing several childhood photos of himself alongside his eldest daughter as she was growing up - many of which hadn't ever been released to the public.

The song also hears Eminem - real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III - reflecting on his experience as a father, having welcomed his little girl just after his teenage years.

Written as though he is speaking to her from beyond the grave, fans were left sobbing when the heart-wrenching clip was released.

Their heartache soon transformed into joy, however, when during the video, Hailie could be seen announcing her pregnancy to her father.

The pair are seen sitting on a step out outside her home, when she brings him a jersey with the word 'grandpa 1' written on the back, along with a picture of an ultrasound.

Since then, followers of the family have been dying to know how Hailie was able to keep news of their incoming addition a secret for so long.

Thankfully, one of her closest friends has assisted in lifting the lid on the unusual ways she was able to do so.

Speaking on the pair's Just A Little Shady podcast this weekend, Brittany Ednie began by telling viewers that Hailie was pregnant when she and husband Evan McClintock tied the knot in May this year: "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."

Brittany went on: "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 that night."

Hailie went on to thank her bestie for 'taking one for the team' drinks-wise.

"I never really asked you to do it," she went on to joke. "It was like an unspoken thing with our eyes."

She also heaped praise onto her other-half for being able to keep her pregnant a secret for so long - even if he wasn't able to take on some of Hailie's alcoholic burdens.

"Usually, Evan has been the one who will take some sips, but he was not nearby," she went on.

"Evan was like, 'I don't want that.' But you were like, 'Oh, I'll take some drinks of it.' So I feel like you kinda volunteered yourself for that one."
