This is a scandal we didn’t see coming!
On Tuesday, Dave Grohl dropped a shocking bombshell — he’s been cheating on his wife! Yes, rock and roll’s nicest guy turns out to also be… sigh, just as bad as the other jerks.

But it gets worse. Not only did he cheat — he had a secret love child!! He shared the news in an unexpected Instagram post, confessing:
“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. We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”
OMFG!!!
See the jaw-dropping statement (below):
Whoa.
Dave has been married to Jordyn Blum for over 20 years and (so far) it doesn’t sound like she’s considering divorce. They share daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10. He’s always presented himself as a big family man, so this is crazy!! Some men just really can’t help themselves. SMH.
So far, details of his affair and mistress are unknown, including any word on the new baby girl, such as when she was born, what her name is, or — crucially — who her mother is. We’re sure those will be coming in time, especially since it sounds like the Foo Fighters frontman is determined to stay in her life. That, to be fair, is the one good thing he had to say amid this revelation. At least he’s not kicking her to the curb like some other cheaters we know!
The musician’s wife Jordyn is yet to speak out publicly about this scandal, but we imagine this is news to her. She was seen alongside her husband at Wimbledon in July. Back then, they were a united front as they walked around the event — though things did seem a little tense in retrospect. That might have just been from all the attention, though. Look:

So… Do we think she knew about the affair and baby then? Or was she just as blindsided as the rest of us sometime between now and then?? We can’t imagine how painful this all has been for the whole family — but it’s not the first time the 55-year-old has shown his true colors!
The rock star previously admitted to cheating on his first wife Jennifer Leigh Youngblood, crediting infidelities for causing their divorce in 1997, according to The Guardian. Oof! Guess nobody ever really changes, huh?
The only silver lining to all this is he’s doing the standup thing by staying in the child’s life! It won’t make this chapter any easier to navigate for his family, but at least he’s not abandoning a baby!
Reactions, Perezcious readers? What do you make of this?? Sound OFF (below)!
