Jan 12, 2021 THE REAL SLIM DADDY Inside Eminem’s ‘forgotten’ daughter Alaina’s wholesome life with loving family and dogs Stephanie Soteriou 15:30, 11 Jan 2021 Updated: 15:30, 11 Jan 2021 EMINEM made a name for himself in the '90s by rapping about intimate details of his personal life, including his rise to fame from poverty, with an abusive mum and absent father, and his rocky relationship with ex-wife Kim Scott. This means that fans of the 48-year-old star will be well-aware of his daughter Hailie Jade, 25, who he regularly mentioned - and sometimes even featured - on his tracks. Eminem - real name Marshal Mathers - started referencing a second little girl, Lainey; most notably in his 2004 hit Mockingbird, which was an ode to his two girls. He says in the song: "Lainey, uncle's crazy ain't he, yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it", later adding: "Daddy's still here, Lainey I'm talking to you too, Daddy's still here. I like the sound of that, yeah, it's got a ring to it, don't it?" Lainey, full name Alaina, is actually Eminem's niece, who he adopted as a child because her mother - Kim's twin sister Dawn - was unable to cope.

Speaking in 2004, Eminem said of his relationship with Alaina: "My niece has been a part of my life ever since she was born. "Me and Kim pretty much had her, she'd live with us wherever we was at." And it's easy to see that Alaina, now 27, has flourished under the rapper's care, now living a wholesome life in Detroit with her boyfriend Matt Moeller.

She wrote: "Lemme tell you a secret, money can’t buy you happiness, but it can buy you therapy (& wine) and that’s pretty much the same thing She has also spoken openly about her mental health battle Credit: Instagram Alaina moved in with her boyfriend Matt Credit: Instagram She regularly shares insights into her life on InstagramCredit: Instagram "During covid, I about lost my marbles not JUST because of covid, but because LIFE CAN BE HARD MAN. For the last 10 years I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression - at least this is when I recognized it was a problem. "I was constantly worrying if i was good enough, if people were mad at me, if they liked me, and struggling to cope/move forward from trauma. At 23 I started doing something about it; yup it took me 6 years to even do anything. "I was beginning to cultivate new patterns, thinking differently, and learning different tools to help me when life handed me lemons. But because healing is an ongoing thing, around May I found myself needing to go back to therapy and I’m so glad I did MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS. "This is just my PSA to recognize everyone struggles. It’s okay to not be okay. Nothing about mental health should be embarrassing so here I am trying to help #endthestigma I hope wherever you are on your journey, you too find the support you need PS #fyouanxiety #fyoudepression" She also refers to Kim as her mum, pictured [L-R]: Alaina, Kim, Hailie, WhitneyCredit: Instagram Alaina has plenty of tattoos - just like Eminem Credit: Instagram Alaina also shared her grief at her biological mum's death over the years alongside throwback photos of her - saying that both Dawn and Kim are equally her mother. She wrote in 2018: "Always missing you a lot during this time of the year, Mom. Can’t believe you would have been 43 in 3 days" And in 2017 she shared: "Ya know, life is a funny thing. Never spent a Mother's Day with my Mom in my entire life and now that I can't I wish more than anything I could.

I don't think it's a coincidence that God made them twins because in doing so he blessed me with two Moms. Happy Mother's Day to my angel in heaven and my angel on earth❤❤" Alaina is still close to Hailie, and has previously shared posts posing outside of Eminem's Detroit mansion when they both returned home for Christmas.

Jan 12, 2021 Lots to digest here... She def got the short end of the stick but I’d still motorboat them ti--ies. Her bf is def thinkin the same thing, motorboat and those millions. Whitney with the transition lenses got me by surprise. She’s gotta be a nerd like her dad just reading the dictionary all day. Following in her dads footsteps? Possibly. Eminem as a father in law would be the funnest s---. Just bumping Revival all day, watch the lions play on Sundays, make some nachos, dabble in a thesaurus, and prank call Paul.
Jan 12, 2021 Hailey be lookin like an alien but a hot alien that is. I wonder why Em let her get all the plastic surgery she wants but not Ailayna and Whitney? They be looking like Rosie Odonell and Greta Thunberg. He obviously must have a favorite...
Jan 12, 2021 Beautiful.. good job slim giving those girls the life you never had growing up! Respect.
Jan 12, 2021 Btw em, in case you reading this.. I’m a bricklayer and I’m willing to work for unreleased tracks. price can be negotiated but yeah what’s fair? 100 square feet per 16 bars you provide materiel. call me.
Feb 28, 2023 such a sad story regarding her mom dying so young, also I wonder why Kim and Marshall did not help Dawn, I have read some articles where they wrote- before Dawn died- she was asking them for help but they did not help her, we can only imagine how tough it must have been for Alaina to find out that maybe someone could have helped her mom and after Dawn died obviously Kim also did not want to pay for a headstone according to Dawn's niece
Feb 28, 2023 Fat girl ti--ies are not impressive and em is the biggest cuck that ever cucked imagine adopting the daughter of a guy that f----- your wife lol wtf
