Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl said Tuesday that he fathered a baby outside of their 21-year marriage.
In an Instagram post, Grohl announced, “I recently became a father to a baby girl, born out of wedlock.” Grohl added that he plans to be a loving and supportive father to his new daughter.
Grohl married his wife, Jordyn Blum, 43, in 2003, according to Entertainment Tonight; the couple have three daughters, Violet, Harper and Ophelia. The longtime couple was spotted at Wimbledon in July.
Grohl wrote in his post, “I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.” He did not name the mother of his new daughter.

Foo Fighters was formed in 1993 by Grohl, the former drummer of Nirvana. He was accompanied by Chris Shiflett, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear and Rami Jaffee. Drummer Josh Freese recently signed, after the death of drummer and singer Taylor Hawkins in 2022.
In August, the band played to their largest audience ever in Denver, Colorado, while touring following the release of their eleventh album.
Grohl told the crowd: “This is the biggest American Foo Fighters show we’ve done in 30 years.”
