The Foo Fighters frontman has welcomed a child “outside” of his marriage and is fighting to “regain” the trust of his wife, Jordyn Blum, and other children.
The rock legend made the stunning revelation in an Instagram post on Tuesday, September 10.
“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” Grohl wrote in a statement.
“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.”
He added, “We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”
A rep for Grohl told The Post that there was no additional comment from the musician at this time.
The former Nirvana drummer, 55, met Blum, 48, at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in LA back in 2001. Grohl later admitted that he ghosted her shortly after their courtship began.
“When I first met my wife, we went out on a few dates and I decided that I wasn’t ready for a serious relationship, so I just stopped calling,” he admitted in a 2007 interview with ELLE.
But Blum stayed on his mind. “After three months, I had a revelation and called her back,” he added. Blum was shocked to hear the rocker’s voice on the other end of the phone, telling him, “’Oh, I never thought I’d hear from you again.’”
The pair went on to say ‘I do’ on August 2, 2003 in a private ceremony at their LA home. The guest list included A list names such as Clive David and and Grohl’s former Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic.
