On Tuesday afternoon, rock legend Dave Grohl made a shocking confession that sent shockwaves across social media. The Foo Fighters frontman disclosed that he and a woman outside of his marriage are the new parents to a daughter. Within hours, multiple sources began delving into the announcement and putting a spotlight on the once private lives of Grohl, his wife Jordyn Blum, and their three daughters.
The Surprise Announcement
Dave Grohl has not posted on his Instagram account, @davetruestories, in 45 weeks. The page was established to promote his book, The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music. That changed earlier today when Grohl made a post explaining that he has had a new baby daughter with a person who is not his wife.
In the post, Grohl said he plans "to be a loving and supportive parent" to the child before speaking of his love for Jordyn Blum and their three children. "I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness," he stated, adding that he was grateful "for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together."
History of Dave Grohl's Marriages
According to a report by Fox News, Dave Grohl's first marriage ended in divorce. In 1994, Grohl married Jennifer Leigh Youngblood, a photographer. After three years together, the couple divorced after allegations of infidelity on Grohl's behalf. According to a Daily Mail article, Grohl had a three-year courtship with Jordyn Blum before the two married in 2003. Since then, the couple has welcomed three daughters: Violet, Harper, and Ophelia. Throughout the years, Grohl has often credited his well-being to his wife and children.
Although Grohl is one of the most recognizable rock stars on the planet, he has mostly kept his family life out of the limelight, but that quickly changed after Tuesday's announcement. By Tuesday evening, news outlets ranging from Business Insider to TMZ were examining the "family man" of rock and roll's marriage. Other outlets, such as the New York Post and People started reporting on daughter Violet's Instagram account, alleging it had been deactivated since her father's announcement.
Final Thoughts
Although sharing news of his infidelity is shocking, it goes to show that Dave Grohl has plenty more stories to tell. It was memorable when the typically private couple of Grohl and Blum appeared well-dressed at Wimbledon in July. In the photographs, the couple laughed together as they watched the match; the photos made their relationship seem quite solid. One wonders if Blum knew of the pregnancy or if Dave Grohl was, in fact, the great "pretender." That surely sounds like a very readable story.
At the time of this article, the identity of the mother of Grohl's fourth child remains a mystery. It will be interesting to see if Blum or Grohl's children respond to the announcement. One thing is for sure: Dave Grohl seems to believe he can put the work in to save his relationships with his wife and children while offering support to the new child in his life. Good luck to all involved.
