Supporters Express Indignation over Dave Grohl's Alleged Unacknowledged Child
Dave Grohl, often hailed as "the nicest guy in rock," has a lesser-known side to his personal life. The Foo Fighters frontman, known for his family-friendly image, just announced the birth of his fourth daughter on Instagram, but this time, it wasn't his wife who gave birth. This news has sparked a wave of outrage among his fans.
The rockstar seems to have anticipated the backlash, as he's disabled the comment section on his post. However, his followers have found alternative platforms to voice their shock. On Twitter, fans are expressing their disbelief at Grohl's infidelity.
"Is Dave Grohl a cheater too?! Are there no good men left?" wonders a shocked user named Charlotte.
"What the hell, Dave Grohl cheated on his wife and had a kid out of wedlock? That's low, I truly looked up to him," writes a disappointed fan named Owen.
"Dave Grohl cheating and having a child out of wedlock wasn't on my 2024 bingo card," humorously comments another fan.
"Out of all the rockstars who cheat, I would've least expected it from Dave Grohl. Especially since he had a kid," tweets fan Sophie about the "nicest guy in rock."
"Dave Grohl, what the hell? Can we have just one decent man on this planet? It's time to become a lesbian. There's no hope," tweets fan Tanja Wilbury.
"You can't even trust Dave Grohl anymore, I give up," comments another user, sounding resigned.
Grohl's Instagram post didn't specify if his infidelity was a one-time incident or an ongoing affair. "I've become a father to a new daughter born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive father to her," the 55-year-old wrote. However, he also expressed his love for his wife and children, stating, "I love my wife and my children, and I'm doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness." Interestingly, his two oldest daughters, Violet and Harper, deactivated their social media accounts shortly after his announcement.
Dave Grohl and Jordyn Blum have been married since 2003. They share three daughters, aged 18, 15, and 10. Prior to his marriage with Jordyn, Grohl was married to photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood from 1994 to 1997. Infidelity was reportedly a contributing factor to their divorce.
Despite the controversy surrounding his infidelity, Dave Grohl continues to defend his actions, stating, "Rock music isn't just about rebellion and wild living, it's also about love and human emotions."
Given the turmoil in his personal life, some fans are questioning if Rock music has lost its luster for Grohl, as he once sang about infidelity in the Foo Fighters' song 'Low.'
