Dave Grohl has announced that he has become the father to a baby girl born “outside of my marriage”.

The Foo Fighters frontman, 55, said on Tuesday that he planned to be a “loving and supportive parent” to his new daughter.

Grohl, who shares three daughters with his wife, Jordyn Blum, said he loved his family and was doing “everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness”.

“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” he wrote in the post to his 1.3 million followers on Instagram.

“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.”

He added: “We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together. Dave.”

Grohl has been married to director Blum since 2003.

The rocker played drums in the pioneering grunge band Nirvana from 1990 until 1994, when lead singer Kurt Cobain died aged 27.

He went on to form Foo Fighters and has scored a number of chart-topping albums including their most recent effort, 2023’s But Here We Are.
