“I love my wife and children”

He has another confession to make.

This is my hero.

Foo Fighters frontman and former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl has announced that he is the father of a child from a marriage. In a September 10 Instagram post, Grohl wrote, “I recently became the father of a baby girl, born out of wedlock.”

He went on to explain that the affair and the birth of his child have not shaken his commitment to his wife, Jordyn Blum, and their three daughters. “I love my wife and my children, and I’m doing everything I can to earn their trust and forgiveness.” He also indicated that he would be a force in his new daughter’s life as well: “I intend to be a loving and supportive parent to her.”

Grohl’s representatives had no further comment when reached for comment. Weekly entertainment.

This is a rare post from Grohl, whose social media presence is limited to Instagram. The account was only launched in 2020 and contains 22 posts in total, 20 of which are memoir-related. The storyteller Grohl is set to be released in 2023. He frequently appears in photos posted to the Foo Fighters’ Instagram account.

Jordyn Blum, Grohl’s wife of more than 20 years, is a former model and MTV producer. Blum keeps even more out of the spotlight than Grohl, but has collaborated on several Foo Fighters projects, including appearing in the 2011 music video for “White Limo” and co-directing the 2002 music video for “Walking a Line.”

Grohl has publicly identified his wife as the inspiration for several Foo Fighters songs, though not always in a positive way. In a 2006 interview with The AV ClubGrohl named the 2002 song “Burn Away” as the one that makes him “cringe” now, explaining, “I was in love with my future wife and I had a romantic prom ballad. Ugh! We would never play that sh*t live.”

Grohl and Blum have three children together, Violet Maye (born 2006), Harper Willow (born 2009), and Ophelia Saint (born 2014). Violet, now 18, is a musician herself, occasionally joining her father on stage at Foo Fighters concerts, as she did at their Glastonbury show in 2023.

Grohl has recently had public disagreements with two of the world’s most famous figures: Taylor Swift and Donald Trump. He drew the ire of Swifties after implying during a concert in June that his band Eras Tour wasn’t performing live. Trump and the Foo Fighters, meanwhile, had a spat over whether the former president’s campaign had permission to use the song “My Hero” at a recent rally.
