Hailie Jade Marks 2 Years with Evan McClintock on Instagram
Hailie Jade marked her second wedding anniversary with Evan McClintock on Instagram on Monday by posting a nostalgic video from their wedding day. The post gave a clear look at how she is handling a private milestone in public: a short, tightly edited memory rather than a long personal statement.
Greencrest Manor in Battle Creek
The video pulled from the couple’s May 18, 2024 wedding at Greencrest Manor in Battle Creek, Michigan, and set the footage to Coldplay’s “A Sky Full of Stars.” On-screen text read “H & E 05.18.24,” while the clip highlighted their ceremony kiss and first dance.
Jade paired the montage with a caption that read, “Two years, too fast. Forever better slow down a little.” She married McClintock after the two met as students at Michigan State University, so the anniversary post doubled as a rare public reference to a relationship that started long before the wedding content she shared on Monday.
From wedding day to parenthood
March 14, 2025 added another layer to the story: Jade and McClintock welcomed their first child, Elliot, that day. A year into marriage, the anniversary post now lands after the couple has already moved from newlyweds to parents, which changes the tone of the public celebration without making it any less controlled.
June 2025 also brought a sharper statement from Jade about why she shares selectively. “Having been in the spotlight for so long, I’ve learned the importance of balancing what I share publicly with what I keep private,” she said then, adding, “Over time, I’ve come to understand the struggle my father faced — wanting to protect our privacy while also feeling proud and wanting to celebrate his kids.”
Detroit game night
Sunday’s anniversary date in Detroit offered a less polished companion to the Instagram post. Jade wrote in her Stories, “Game 7 anniversary date last night: 10/10 ❤️ Final score: not to be discussed ??,” after the Detroit Pistons lost 125-94 to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
That mix of family milestone and sports-night aside is the useful read here: Jade is still choosing exactly how much of her life to publish, and she is doing it with enough restraint that the anniversary post says more by showing a wedding video than by over-explaining the marriage. For followers, the takeaway is simple — if she posts family moments, they will likely come on her terms, with the details curated rather than spilled.
