Stevie and Hailie YouTube
Eminem's children, Hailie Jade Scott and Stevie Laine Scott, recently discussed their childhood experiences on Hailie's podcast, "Just a Little Shady." In a rare interview, the 27-year-old Hailie and her 21-year-old sibling Stevie talked about their unique bond and shed light on Stevie's life away from the public eye.
During the show's introduction of Stevie, Hailie playfully expressed gratitude for their presence, jokingly acknowledging the "zoo" that Stevie oversees with their numerous pets which include three dogs and six cats.
"I always believed you were going to become the family veterinarian," Haile quipped on the episode that aired on Tuesday, October 31. "I think you were the main reason behind 98 percent of the animals we had while growing up."
When discussing Stevie's Great Dane, Duke, Haile reminisced, "During our childhood, our father owned a Great Dane that we were completely infatuated with. They are the most affectionate dogs you can find, but their size is just astounding. I distinctly recall falling head over heels for our father's dog, Timber, and then, when you got Duke, we couldn't help but wonder, 'Where on earth will we accommodate this horse?' simply because they are so enormous!"
Haile also inquired about Stevie's partner of two years, Declan Jace. "He moved in with me around December of last year," Stevie stated, mentioning that the couple had previously maintained a long-distance relationship. "I firmly believe that if there is a genuine connection between two people, it can succeed—particularly if both parties prioritize making it work by investing time and effort into the relationship."

They expressed, "It has been a valuable learning experience as well. It marks my initial significant relationship in my adult life."
Regarding their upbringing, Haile reminisced about Stevie's birth when she was 6 years old. "Having a younger sister brought immense joy to my life," she recalled, becoming emotional. "Oh, I can't help but get emotional. When you were born, I felt a sense of ownership and thought, 'A baby just for me! It belongs to me!'" Hailie went on.
Stevie's siblings also discussed their various hobbies from childhood, such as horseback riding and gymnastics. Hailie exclaimed, "You've had so many different experiences! You try out all these activities and excel at them. It's honestly annoying, why are you so athletic?"
But as Stevie grew older, they developed a newfound passion for graphic design and animation.
Hailie and Stevie both have a sister named Alaina, who is the daughter of Kim's sister, Dawn Scott. Eminem welcomed Alaina, who is now 30 years old, into the family through adoption in 2005. Stevie, whose father is Kim's ex-boyfriend Eric Hartter, was also adopted by Eminem.
In August 2021, Stevie publicly shared their nonbinary identity on TikTok. They documented their personal growth and self-acceptance journey through a series of photos, and shared that they now prefer to be referred to using any pronouns.
