This is not Dave Grohl‘s first time cheating! Or even his second or third, by the sounds of it…
On Tuesday, the Nirvana drummer admitted to cheating on his wife Jordyn Blum and having a baby with his mistress, and while it’s shocking, it’s only the latest in a string of infidelities! Just check out this story from one of his exes!
Way back in 2003 — ironically, just about two months after he married his current wife — Dave’s ex Tina Basich published a memoir in which she called him out for cheating on her! The book, titled Pretty Good for a Girl: The Autobiography of a Snowboarding Pioneer, features a section in which the athlete reflects on her two-year romance with the rockstar — and the horrible way things ended!

The pair dated for about two years in the late ’90s and split around the time Tina broke her leg, which caused a major career setback. During the relationship, she recalled the musician being super “busy” with his “multimillion-dollar record contracts, deadlines with record labels, music videos [and] press tours” while simultaneously “trying to maintain a focus on being creative and writing music.” Naturally, this impacted their romance, she wrote:
“The pressure was too much for our relationship to handle. You can only give up so much of your heart and your career and your time and your spirit, and here I was, giving it all up for a guy and losing myself in the process.”
She felt she was “taking time away from his career” while also putting hers “in the backseat without even realizing it.” And then she learned the truth. She recalled:
“I don’t know how anyone in his profession can have a normal relationship with a girlfriend…or two, as it turned out. I found out secondhand, through the grapevine, when it seemed like everyone else in the world knew about it but me.”
Oh, s**t! That sux!!!
The snowboarder was understandably “so disappointed and pissed” — but not just at Dave but at herself “for being sucked in.” Oof. So sad!
After all this, she was equally annoyed the Foo Fighters frontman hardly gave her the time of day when she tried to get some clarity, her book continued:
“Breakups suck. But Rockstar exits are the worst. All I got was a five-minute phone call from him, after five weeks of me calling and trying to get ahold of him because I just had to know if these rumors were true and had to hear it straight from the source.”
Tina said she got “nothing” from the singer, who “dropped off the planet” in her world “but was everywhere else.” Because of how famous he was, she “couldn’t escape the thought of him,” she remembered:
“I went grocery shopping a few days after we broke up and heard the elevator-music version of ‘Learn to Fly,’ which gave me an instant stomachache, then saw him on the cover of Guitar magazine staring at me in the check-out line.”
The 55-year-old added she “didn’t know how to handle it” because she thought she was “not that strong.” Whoa. It’s gotta be wild for her to see this scandal playing out now. Guess his behavior never changed, no matter how much he seemed to be a good family man??
BTW, according to The Guardian, Dave admitted to cheating on his first wife Jennifer Leigh Youngblood, causing their 1997 divorce. And there have been other rumors, too! Supposedly he cheated on Jennifer with Veruca Salt singer Louise Post. And that got serious — he even wrote Everlong about her! But then, according to Louise, he cheated on her with Winona Ryder! Yeesh!
So, the warning signs were all there from the start of this current marriage. We guess some leopards never change their spots…
