In a surprising turn of events, Dave Grohl, the legendary frontman of Foo Fighters, recently made headlines after revealing that he welcomed a new baby daughter outside of his long-standing marriage to Jordyn Blum. The announcement sent shockwaves through the music world, as the rocker admitted to fathering a child with another woman, causing fans and media alike to speculate about the impact on his family.
On Tuesday, September 10, David Grohl took to Instagram to share a candid statement addressing the situation. In his post, the Foo Fighters frontman stated, "I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage." Grohl further explained that while he acknowledges his mistake, he remains dedicated to being a loving and supportive father to all of his children.
Grohl, who shares three daughters with Jordyn Blum, his wife of 23 years—Violet Grohl, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10—emphasized that he is focused on repairing the trust with his family. He wrote, "I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness."
Following the announcement, reports surfaced that Violet Grohl had deactivated her Instagram account, although the exact timing remains unclear. The deactivation of Violet’s social media came amid her father’s public statement, leaving many to wonder if it was related to the news of Dave Grohl's affair and his new baby.
Violet, who has often appeared in public alongside her father, made a memorable appearance earlier this year at the 2023 Glastonbury Festival. Grohl introduced her on the Pyramid Stage with heartfelt pride, calling her "my favorite singer in the world" before the duo performed “Show Me How,” a song written for Grohl’s mother and Violet’s grandmother. The moment was a touching display of their close bond, with Grohl exclaiming, “That’s my girl!” at the end of the performance.
In addition to their musical collaboration, Violet has been a regular presence with her family at public events, including their appearance at the 2023 Grammy Awards. Grohl, his wife Jordyn Blum, and their three daughters posed together on the red carpet, showcasing their family unity before this latest revelation.
As Dave Grohl navigates this challenging chapter, fans continue to rally behind him, hoping for reconciliation and healing within his family. With his honesty about the affair and commitment to his children, Grohl’s statement reflects his efforts to move forward in both his personal and professional life.
For now, the focus remains on how the family will adapt to this new reality, with Grohl expressing gratitude for the public's consideration of all the children involved as they move forward together.
