The 29-year-old honored her father with the newborn’s name, Elliot Marshall McClintock. Eminem’s real name is Marshall Mathers.
Scott posted a photo of her baby in a light blue hooded sweater in front of a sign that read, “Elliot Marshall McClintock 03.14.25.”
“It’s so weird to think about… I can’t even wrap my head around it,” Scott said on her podcast. “I have to meet this human that I’ve created. What’s he gonna look like? What’s he gonna ... what’s his personality gonna be [like]? It’s strange but super exciting.”
