Eminem’s daughter Alaina Marie Scott is enjoying every last moment with her newborn as she returns to work for the first time since giving birth.
On Sunday, June 14, the rapper’s adopted daughter took to Instagram to reflect on motherhood and the emotional milestone of ending her maternity leave two months after welcoming daughter Scottie with husband Matt Moeller.
“Two months of watching the world slow down and accelerate all at once. Two months of little fingers wrapped around mine, sleepy snuggles, middle of the night feeds and falling more in love than I ever knew possible,” Scott, 33, wrote in the post, which was accompanied by a photo shoot with her newborn.
“Scottie, my sweet girl, you have made every ordinary moment feel extraordinary,” the happy mother continued. “Tomorrow I have to go back to work and my heart is breaking and breaking at the same time. Breaking because I know how precious these moments truly are. Knowing that one day I will rock you to sleep for the last time and not even realize it. I stare at you and try to remember every detail because I know I will never get this exact version of you back.”
At the same time, she expressed gratitude for becoming a mother and shared the lesson she hopes Scottie will take with him.
“I hope that as you grow, you see that women don’t have to choose between building a career and raising a family, if they choose anything at all,” she wrote.
Reflecting on the past two months, Scott described the experience as “a privilege”, adding: “Time with you will never feel like enough, my true heaven on earth.”
Alaina is the biological daughter of Dawn Scott, sister of Eminem’s ex-wife Kim Scott. Eminem and Kim adopted Alaina in the early 2000s when Dawn struggled with drug addiction before her death in 2016.
