Dave Grohl has some ‘splainin’ to do about his new out-out-wedlock daughter

Dave Grohl has a well-earned rep as the Nicest Man in Rock, someone who operates with integrity and honesty. He’s a family man–something he’s talked about at length–and has three daughters, one of whom, Violet, tours with the Foos as a singer. He’s been married to model and TV producer Jordyn Bloom for 21 years. His house has an actual white picket fence, fer crissakes.

But then this appeared on Instagram today (September 10).

“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.”

Look, this is a personal matter and frankly, it’s none of our business. In the world of rock, this is absolutely nothing unique. Best Dave get out in front of the story and avoid as much gossipy unpleasantness.

  • This throws a real monkey wrench into his marriage. I wonder how that conversation started..

    Hey honey?

    I”VE GOT ANOTHER CONFESSION TO MAKE…

    Goes to show that you cannot show your Weenie Beenie to people other than your spouse. But, I guess it’s times like these you learn to live again.

  • Releasing this statement right before the Presidential Debate. Nice PR Move Grohl. Look over there Look over there. hahah I feel bad for his wife, this puts her in such a bad position. I adore Dave and appreciate him taking responsibility, hopefully his wife can find a way to forgive him. I wouldn’t! I’m more grossed out by Anthony Kiedis and Helena Vestergaard aka his 19 year old girlfriend. Just caz its legal don’t make it right. 62 years old? and 19? Gross!

  • Point 1 – He is not Saint Dave – unless I missed the Cannonisation ceremony. While I will never condone infidelity, I do understand it. No-one ever knows anyone else or their motivations, so I’m not going to be the judge, jury & executioner and neither should anyone else.

    Point 2 – This has all the hallmarks of a gutter tabloid “journalist” trying to make a quick buck forcing the Ghrol family to have to go public. I’m from the UK and have seen this sort of thing far too often from the likes of the Daily Mail, The Sun, the erstwhile News of the World and many others. It’s a despicable practice and we should not be giving these “journalists” oxygen or satisfaction of earning a living of the back of other people’s misfortune.

    Point 3 – “…this is a personal matter and frankly, it’s none of our business”. So why is this article even here? Give the family the respect they deserve and let them get on with figuring out how to move forward. We should only be there for appropriate support, if it’s needed.

  • Long term Monogamy is a tough gig, man.
