Dave Grohl Announces He's Fathered A Child Outside Of His Marriage

Dave Grohl says he has fathered a child with a woman who is not his wife.

The Foo Fighters frontman shared the news on Instagram on Tuesday, writing, “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,” the message went on. “We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”

Grohl’s statement did not include any additional details about his new daughter or her mother.

Representatives for Grohl declined to comment further to HuffPost.

The former drummer for Nirvana is already the father of three: daughters Violet Maye, 18, Harper Willow, 15, and Ophelia Saint, 10.
