FOO Fighter fans who read Dave Grohl's 2021 memoir would hardly need convincing that he was rock music's Mr Nice Guy. Published in 2021, the musician wrote a touching tribute to his wife the former model, Jordyn Blum, describing her as the lynchpin of his life. But now three years on, his reputation lies in tatters, after he confessed to fathering a secret love child, outside of his marriage.
Grohl, who has three daughters with Jordyn - Violet, Harper and Ophelia - told his Instagram follower that he was working to regain the trust of his family following the baby's arrival. "I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage," he posted. "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. "We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together." But in his 2021 memoir The Storyteller, Grohl couldn't have spoken more highly of Blum, calling her the "queen of my world".
Grohl wrote: "Our paths had crossed at a time when I thought I was forever doomed to live in the past, but through her strength and clarity, she showed me a future. "Together we created my life's greatest achievement, my family. And, as our family grew, my appreciation for life did as well.
"With each child born, I was born again. With each step they took, I retraced my own." He went on to insist being a dad was everythin.
