The Foo Fighters lead and former Nirvana drummer just made the shocking announcement that he had a child outside of his marriage

Dave Grohl has largely defied rock star stereotypes with his long-term marriage to Jordyn Blum ... until recently.

On Tuesday, Grohl announced that he’d become a father to a fourth daughter, “born outside of my marriage”.

“I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her,” Grohl wrote on social media. “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.”

The Foo Fighters frontman, 55, met Blum, 48, in 2001 at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar on Hollywood’s famous Sunset Strip. Blum, a former model, was working at MTV as a producer at the time, according to Spin.

“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,” Grohl later told Elle. “After three months, I had a revelation and called her back. She picked up the phone and said, ‘Oh, I never thought I’d hear from you again.’”
