I Was Scared - Hailie Jade's Fiance Recounts Scary Moment Asking Eminem for His Blessing to Get Engaged

Evan McClintock, the fiancé of Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade, has revealed the scary moment he asked the rapper for his daughter’s hand in marriage.

Eonline reports – Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade and her fiancé Evan McClintock gave details on their engagement and how Evan asked Eminem for his blessing to get married.

The duo got candid on all the romantic details of their engagement during a recent episode of her podcast, Just a Little Shady.

Evan, an enterprise growth executive, popped the question on Feb. 4 after reportedly dating Hailie, 27, for more than six years.

He revealed on the podcast that he originally considered proposing at Lollapalooza in Chicago over the summer, but thought Hailie had a lot on her plate at the time.

Evan ultimately went shopping for her ring over the 2022 holiday season, noting, “I kinda knew what I was after for your ring. Thankfully your sister helped me out there,”

He also recounted when he decided to ask Eminem’s blessing to get engaged to Haillie Jade, revealing he almost chickened out!

“It was over the holidays,” he spilled. “I was just looking for an opportunity not to make it too obvious.”

So, how did it go down with the rapper? “I saw your dad go downstairs and [thought], ‘Alright. I got to do it right now or I’m not doing it today. I’m going to have to schedule some other time,'” Evan shared. “So, I just followed him downstairs and thankfully, he was just down there, grabbing your [birthday] cake.”

Evan told Hailie—who was born on Christmas Day to Eminem and Kim Scott—that he found the perfect ring right after her birthday. She responded, “The day after my birthday, you got it? That’s crazy,”

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing, as Evan recalled a moment of panic after he purchased the sparkler.

“After I ordered it, we were at my family’s and we were all talking about rings and I think you mentioned you had no idea what you wanted,” he said, per ET, “and I was like, ‘Oh my god, I just ordered this ring. She’s saying she doesn’t know what she wants.'”

Flash forward a couple months, and Hailie officially said “yes.”

“casual weekend recap…” she captioned the photos of their engagement earlier this month. “2.4.23 i love you @evanmcclintock11.”
