Dave Grohl recently revealed that he has become a father to a new baby girl outside of his 21-year marriage to Jordyn Blum. He and Blum already have three daughters together.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the Foo Fighters frontman and former Nirvana drummer 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 children and am doing everything I can to regain their trust and forgiveness. We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”
Grohl, 55, did not share more details about the baby or her mother. His representatives also did not comment further on the matter.
Grohl married Jordyn Blum, a former model and now a film and TV producer, in 2003. They have three daughters, including Violet Grohl, an 18-year-old singer, and two younger daughters Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.
At the 2023 Glastonbury Festival, Dave Grohl brought his oldest child, Violet, to the Pyramid Stage in June. Before playing a song from his band’s new album, But Here We Are, he introduced her to the crowd.
He said, “My favorite singer in the world,” as Violet came on stage. Then, he added, “I wrote this song for my mom, who is Violet’s grandmother. It’s called ‘Show Me How.’
Dave Grohl’s daughter, Violet seems to have turned off her Instagram account. This happened after news came out that her dad had a fourth daughter with someone other than his wife.
Before marrying Blum, Grohl was married to photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood from 1994 to 1997. He has admitted that cheating played a part in the end of that marriage.
Grohl formed the Foo Fighters in 1994, after Nirvana ended following the death of Kurt Cobain. In 2022, the Foo Fighters’ drummer and Grohl’s close friend, Taylor Hawkins, passed away during a South American tour.
