    DAVE Grohl’s ex previously spoke about the rockstar’s alleged previous infidelity, which comes after the Foo Fighters star revealed he had fathered a secret love child.

    “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” the Foo Fighters rocker wrote in a bombshell statement on Instagram earlier this week.

    “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 continued.

    “We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”

    And now it has come to light that snowboarder Tina Basich, who previously dated the singer, claimed Dave cheated on her during their relationship.

    Many years before Dave admitted to fathering a child outside his current marriage, Tina spoke of how he was always “busy” before revealing that he allegedly cheated on her.

    In her 2003 memoir, “Pretty Good for a Girl: The Autobiography of a Snowboarding Pioneer,” the now-55-year-old wrote about how Dave was allegedly romancing her and another woman at the same time.

    Tina detailed how busy Dave was because of his “multimillion-dollar record contracts, deadlines with record labels, music videos [and] press tours”.

    She added that he worked on all of the above while “trying to maintain a focus on being creative and writing music.”

    “The pressure was too much for our relationship to handle,” she admitted.

    “You can only give up so much of your heart and your career and your time and your spirit, and here I was, giving it all up for a guy and losing myself in the process.”

    She then spoke of how he was “taking time away from his career” and also putting hers “in the backseat without even realizing it.”

    “I don’t know how anyone in his profession can have a normal relationship with a girlfriend…or two, as it turned out,” she then revealed in the bombshell admission.

    ‘EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD KNEW ABOUT IT’

    “I found out secondhand, through the grapevine, when it seemed like everyone else in the world knew about it but me.”

    Tina then expressed her disappointment and said how she was “so disappointed and p**sed” because she got “sucked in”.

    The snowboarder dated the rocker, who is the same age as her, for two years in the late 1990s.

    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

    The relationship ended in 1999, with them parting ways shortly after Tina broke her leg and was out of work, with her professional snowboarding career sidelined for a short while.

    While recovering from injury, Tina heard whispers that Dave was cheating on her, which is when she disclosed the infidelity in her book.

    ‘ROCKSTAR EXITS ARE THE WORST’

    Also in her tome, she admitted that “breakups suck”, adding, “But Rockstar exits are the worst.

    “All I got was a five-minute phone call from him, after five weeks of me calling and trying to get ahold of him because I just had to know if these rumors were true.”

    Dave’s bombshell statement revealing his secret love child comes as the singer appears to be happily loved up with his current wife.

    LOVED UP WITH JORDYN

    Dave is married to Jordyn Blum, with the pair getting hitched more than two decades ago at their home in Los Angeles on August 2, 2003.

    Since their wedding , the couple have welcomed three daughters : Violet Maye, 18, Harper Willow, 15, and Ophelia Saint, 10.

    In 2009, Dave opened up about becoming a father to Time magazine, “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 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.”
