Dave Grohl, the legendary guitarist of Foo Fighters, has made a shocking admission – he has fathered a child outside of his marriage.

Grohl, 55, announced the news on social media, stating, “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.”

Grohl has been married to his wife, Jordyn Blum, since 2003. The couple shares three daughters: Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.

“We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward,” Grohl concluded in his statement.

Sienna Miller, Josh Duhamel, and more stars have expanded their families in 2024. News broke on January 3 that Miller had given birth to her second baby earlier that month, her first with boyfriend Oli Green. Miller also shares older daughter Marlowe with ex-fiancé Tom Sturridge.

While Blum, 48, has remained primarily out of the spotlight in recent years, her husband has occasionally opened up about his family in interviews.

In a 2007 chat with The Guardian, Grohl called Blum and his oldest daughter “anchors that keep me from completely disappearing.”

Two years later, he explained how being a father changed his perspective on touring and working nonstop with the Foo Fighters.

“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 shared with Time. “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 echoed that sentiment in a 2007 interview with People when discussing his new reality as a dad.

“We don’t talk about how much we drank last night [anymore],” he said about his band. “[Now] it’s how much sleep we got, how much sleep the baby got, diaper rash, formula. … I realized the life I always imagined beginning once the band ended has to begin now.”
