Dave Grohl has admitted cheating on his wife and fathering a baby with another woman.
The Foo Fighters frontman, 55, made the shocking confession on Tuesday (September 10). The legendary rocker said he vows to win back the trust of his model wife Jordyn Blum, 48, whom he’s been married to since 2003.
In a statement on Instagram, he 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 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. Dave.”

Dave and Jordyn share three daughters, including Violet Maye, 18, Harper Willow, 15, and Ophelia Saint, 10. They met in 2001 and tied the knot at their Los Angeles home in August 2003.
The beloved musician, often hailed as the “nicest guy in rock”, previously spoke of how fatherhood has changed him. He told TIME in 2009: “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. It’s [family] 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.”

The couple were guests at Wimbledon in London earlier this summer. The former Nirvana drummer looked unrecognisable from his usual rockstar attire in a sharp navy suit and a mustard tie.
His wife Jordyn, who has worked as a model and TV producer, wore a baby-blue skirt and a matching blazer. She topped off her look with sunglasses and hair knotted in a stylish plait.
Dave was previously married to photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood. Their marriage lasted from 1994 until 1997.
