Dave Grohl reveals he fathered a child outside his marriage

In a stunning Instagram post, Foo Fighters rocker Dave Grohl has asked his family for forgiveness after revealing he’s had a child — with someone other than his wife.

Foo Fighters rocker Dave Grohl has announced that he welcomed a baby “outside of” his marriage to Jordyn Blum and is working to “regain” his wife’s “trust”.

“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” he wrote on Instagram early this morning.

“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.”

Grohl concluded his message by saying he and his family were “grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved” as they “move forward together”.

Dave Grohl made the sensational confession on Instagram.

The singer, 55, did not disclose any information about his newborn’s mother in his post.

Grohl and Blum, 48, tied the knot in their Los Angeles home on August 2, 2003.

The couple share three children together: Violet Maye, Harper Willow and Ophelia Saint, whom they welcomed in 2006, 2009 and 2014, respectively.

The guitarist and the former model initially met in 2001 at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in West Hollywood.

In a 2007 interview with Elle, Grohl shared that he stopped calling Blum after they went on a few first dates.

“When I first met my wife, we went out on a few dates and I decided that I wasn’t ready for a serious relationship, so I just stopped calling,” he shared.

However, he had a change of heart as time passed by.

“After three months, I had a revelation and called her back. She picked up the phone and said, ‘Oh, I never thought I’d hear from you again’,” he recalled.

Two years later, the former Nirvana drummer gushed about not wanting to spend time away from his kids while touring.

“I used to tour nine months out of the year. Now I don’t like being away from my kids for more than 12 days,” he told Time in 2009.

“It’s changed everything that I do. When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It’s inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting.”

Grohl and Blum were spotted together at Wimbledon in London in June.

They were all smiles while watching the women’s singles first-round match in the crowd. They did not appear to show any PDA during the outing.

Grohl was also previously married to photographer Jennifer Youngblood from 1994 to 1997.
