Hailie Jade and McClintock’s love story began at Michigan State University in 2016. After six years of dating, the couple got engaged in 2023. On Hailie’s Just a Little Shady podcast, McClintock recounted the nerve-wracking moment he asked for Eminem’s blessing to propose at Hailie’s 2022 birthday party. "I saw your dad go downstairs, and I’m like, ‘I gotta do it right now, or I’m not doing it today, and I’m gonna have to schedule another time,’ " he remembered. “So I just followed him downstairs, and, thankfully, he was just down there getting your cake and made it happen.”

The couple tied the knot in May 2024. “We couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful weekend celebration,” she shared on Instagram. "So so many happy tears were shed, laughs & smiles were had, & so much love was felt.
