On Tuesday, Sept. 10, the Foo Fighters’ lead singer revealed on Instagram that he recently welcomed a daughter with an unnamed woman, despite being married to his wife, Jordyn Blum, since 2003. He and Blum also share three daughters: Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.
“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,” Grohl, 55, continued. “We appreciate your consideration toward all the children involved as we move forward together.”
While Grohl rarely discusses his wife in interviews, he spoke about the importance of family in 2009, telling TIME, “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.”
He added, “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.”
Grohl and Blum were last seen together at London’s Wimbledon tennis tournament in July 2024, sitting in the Royal Box alongside celebrities like David Beckham.
In 2023, Blum made a rare public appearance with Grohl and their three daughters at the Grammy Awards, where the family of five posed for photos on the red carpet.
