- The Foo Fighters frontman made the announcement on social media yesterday
- Grohl has been married to his wife, Jordyn Blum, since 2003
- The 55-year-old already had three daughters from his current marriage
The news of Dave Grohl’s infidelity and his new daughter, born outside of his marriage, has been met with a tidal wave of reactions among music fans, who have been left stunned by the Foo Fighter’s frontman’s bombshell social media post, yesterday (September 10).
In a statement posted to his Instagram account, Grohl said, “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supporting 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.”
The 55-year-old former Nirvana drummer has long been heralded as one of the most likeable rock stars on the planet, beloved by millions of fans across the world and admired throughout the music industry.
However, in light of the recent news of his infidelity, many fans have appeared to change their attitudes towards Grohl, with the Foo Fighters singer and songwriter facing a slew of mockery and disapraging posts.
Grohl was previously married to photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood, with the couple tying the knot in 1994, but divorcing in 1997. Grohl has also previously admitted to infidelity in that relationship. His oldest daughter, Violet, 18, has deactivated her Instagram account in the wake of her father’s announcement.
