Hailie Jade is now engaged to her boyfriend Evan McClintock, and she commemorated the romantic moment with an Instagram post. “Casual weekend recap… 😭💗 2.4.23 💍,” she wrote beneath the photos, which she shared on Feb. 6.
The 27-year-old, who runs the podcast “Just a Little Shady,” has kept her relationship with McClintock pretty private over the years. She’s a little more public about her famous dad, Eminem, sharing insights into her childhood on her podcast and occasionally making public appearances with him. Most recently, she attended the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony with him back in November 2022, which she called “an experience I will never forget.”
In February 2023, though, she officially told the world that she and McClintock are taking things to the next level. The pair reportedly met while studying at Michigan State University, per The Daily Mail. After graduation, McClintock began working at the software company Scout, where he is currently an enterprise growth executive, per People.
