Dave Grohl welcomes daughter from romance: “I love my wife”


Dave Grohl is once again honest about his infidelity.

The Foo Fighters singer and guitarist revealed that he recently welcomed a baby girl, but not with his wife, Jordyn Blum. He announced in a statement shared on Instagram that his new daughter “was born out of my marriage.”

“I plan to be a loving and supportive father to her,” Grohl said in his Tuesday letter, which did not reveal any further details about the birth of his newborn daughter or her mother.

Grohl assured his Instagram followers that he “loves my wife and my kids” and that he is “doing everything I can to earn her trust and forgiveness.” Blum and Grohl married in 2003. They have three children together.

Tuesday's post was not the first time the Grammy winner has revealed the truth about an extramarital affair.

In a 2007 interview with The Guardian, the rocker, now 55, admitted that his infidelity led to his divorce from his first wife, Jennifer Youngblood, in 1997. They were married for three years. The British outlet also reported that Grohl and Youngblood’s divorce was a factor in guitarist Pat Smear’s decision to leave Foo Fighters. Smear and Youngblood had been close friends, but Smear eventually reconciled with Grohl and rejoined the band.

Grohl concluded his statement by informing his Instagram followers (he has 1.4 million of them) that he wants to work things out with all parties involved.

“We are grateful for your consideration for all the children involved as we move forward together,” he said.
