Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters has revealed that he had a child with someone outside of his marriage.
The well-known musician shared the news in a statement posted on his Instagram earlier today.
In his message, he said, “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage.”
“I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.
“We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”
Dave Grohl has been married to model and TV producer Jordyn Blum since 2003. The couple first crossed paths at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in 2001.
In a 2007 interview with ELLE, Grohl reflected on their first encounter, sharing, “When I first met my wife, we went on a few dates, and I decided I wasn’t ready for a serious relationship, so I just stopped calling.”
“After three months, I had a revelation and called her back. She answered and said, ‘Oh, I never thought I’d hear from you again,'” he added.
The two eventually got married on August 2, 2003, and together they have three daughters: Violet Maye, 18, Harper Willow, 15, and Ophelia Saint, 10.
Violet Maye, Grohl’s eldest, is currently part of the Foo Fighters’ touring group.
Recently, Grohl and Blum were seen attending the Wimbledon tennis tournament in London in July 2024, sitting in the Royal Box with other celebrities.
Before his marriage to Blum, Grohl was married to Jennifer Leigh Youngblood from 1994 until their divorce in 1997.
According to a 2007 profile by The Guardian, infidelity was one of the factors leading to their split.
Grohl, a rock icon, was the drummer for Nirvana from 1990 to 1994 and later founded the Foo Fighters in 1994, where he serves as lead singer, guitarist, and main songwriter.
In recent news, Grohl and the Foo Fighters filed a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump for using their music without permission during his re-election campaign.
Their song “My Hero” was played at an Arizona rally, and a spokesperson for the band shared with PA news agency, “Foo Fighters were not asked permission, and if they were they would not have granted it.”
