Read our privacy policy Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade Scott’s fiancé, Evan McClintock, has revealed how he approached the rapper to ask for his blessing before proposing to her. Appearing on the latest episode of Scott’s podcast, McClintock said he had been searching for the right moment to get Eminem’s approval before 4 February, the day he proposed to her. He explained on the Just A Little Shady podcast: “Over the holidays, I was looking for an opportunity not to make it too obvious.” As Scott’s birthday fell on Christmas Day, McClintock said he spotted an opportunity to speak to Eminem alone while he was preparing for the festivities. That’s crazy.” Her fiancé said he received help picking out the ring from Scott’s sister, Alaina Marie Scott, adding: “She basically told me what for sure not to get.” The podcast host laughed and said: “That’s all I told her, so that makes sense.” The couple have been dating since 2016, after meeting as students at Michigan State University.
