Eminem is going to be a grandad!
The 51-year-old rapper made the adorable announcement during the highly-anticipated music video for his song 'Temporary' - which is a heartbreaking letter to his daughter in the event of his death.
The video for 'Temporary' was already a tearjerker among hardcore fans of the rapper, as it featured footage of Eminem - real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III - with his daughter while taking about his experience of being a father.
However it was the brief three second clip which featured Mathers and Hailie Jade, 28, sat on the front steps which really made fans emotional.

In the clip we see Hailie hand her father a blue jersey which features the words 'Grandpa 1' on the back alongside an ultrasound.
Watch the moment in the video below:
The rapper is clearly emotional by the gesture, appearing to tear up as he holds the scan up to the camera while Hailie is laughing happily by his side.
Hailie tied the knot earlier this year with her long-term partner Evan McClintock, with footage from her wedding also appearing in the video.
Eminem has candidly shared his experiences as a father over the years with fans through his music, meaning that Hailie's pregnancy announcement left many feeling similarly teary-eyed.
"Eminem crying? Now I’m crying? No you’re crying," one person wrote, while a second added: "Eminem crying is the last thing I expected to see... Dad and daughter bond is truly amazing... Loved this song."
"Thank you so much for sharing this with us, we know how private you are. This was so special and I feel so honored [sic] you shared this with your fans," a third person added.
The track is not only dedicated to Hailie but also Eminem's two other children, Stevie and Alaina.
"Yeah, so Hailie Jade, I wrote you this song to help you cope with life now that I'm gone," he raps.
"How should I start? Just wanna say, look after Alaina, Stevie, and Uncle Nate, and, sweetie, be strong, I know I was your rock.
"And I still am, saying goodbye is just not ever easy. But why you crying? Just stop Hailie, baby, dry your eye, this is not forever."
Stevie Laine Scott, 22, is the child of Mathers' former partner Kim Scott and her then-boyfriend, Eric Hartter while Alaina Marie, now 31, is the daughter of Kim's sister Dawn Scott, who passed away from a suspected overdose in 2016.
He is now a father to all three, with the trio making an appearance in the video for The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) lead single 'Houdini'.
