Foo Fighter singer Dave Grohl has taken to Instagram to ask for forgiveness from his wife and children, after sharing the news he had welcomed a daughter outside of his marriage.
The 55-year did not share any details about who the mother of his newborn was, or when she was born, he posted a text statement to his 1.4million followers with the comments turned off. It read in full:
Dave and Jordyn Blum have been married since 2003, when they tied the knot at their Los Angeles home in August. Jordyn, 48, is a former model, and the pair met in 2001, when she was a producer at MTV, and eventually met Dave through work.
Though they kept their relationship relatively private, Dave told ELLE in 2007 about when they first got together. “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 said. “After three months, I had an epiphany and called her back. She got on the phone and said, ‘Oh, I never thought I would hear from you again.’ “
Dave and Jordyn have three children together who are aged 18, 15, and 10.
Their first daughter, Violet Maye, was born in April 2006, and has even played at Glastonbury festival in 2023 with Dave and the Foo Fighters. He introduced her to the stage as his “favourite singer in the world”, and she sang with him for ‘Show Me How.’
Three years later, in 2009, they welcomed their second daughter, Harper Willow, born weighing “7 lbs. 8 oz., 20-inches long and loud as hell”, according to proud father Dave.
Then came their third daughter, Ophelia Saint, born five years later in August 2014.
The family last made a joint appearance in public at the 2023 Grammys, where they all walked the red carpet in matching outfits.
