Dave Grohl Reportedly Retained a Divorce Lawyer, Responds to Viral Post About Alleged Daughter
There have been some significant updates regarding the big news about Dave Grohl fathering a child outside of his marriage.
First, before he dropped his shocking news, People reports a source said the Foo Fighters frontman retained a divorce lawyer. People reached out for comment, but a rep for Grohl did not immediately respond.
Next, a person with the Instagram handle @valeriegreyson shared a photo of a baby girl and claimed the baby was the one Grohl fathered outside of his marriage.
The Instagram post featured a lengthy caption, but reads, in part, “My sweet Roxie Junie Grohl, being your mama has already been the most incredible experience of my life.”
The post further states, ” … Every time I look at you, I see so much of your dad in your face — it’s like a little reflection of him in the tiniest, most beautiful way.”
TMZ reports that a rep for Grohl said that post was completely false. The tabloid later updated the story and wrote, “We spoke with the person who posted the fake photos to their page … and she says, “I’m sorry this was a fake page we just wanted followers! We’re minors!”
A Brief Timeline of Grohl’s Baby News
Grohl issued a statement via Instagram on September 10 about fathering a child outside of his marriage to wife of over 20 years Jordyn Blum.
Grohl wrote, “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.”
He continued, “I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”
Grohl concluded, “We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”
No details were shared about the identity of the baby’s mother.
Dave and Jordyn were married on August 2, 2003. They have three daughters: Violet (born in 2006), Harper (born in 2009) and Ophelia (born in 2014). He was previously married to Jennifer Leigh Youngblood from 1994 to 1997. Per The Guardian, Dave’s “admitted infidelities” led to their divorce.
“Dave Grohl” quickly became the top trend on X (formerly Twitter) following the Foo Fighters frontman issuing his statement. Many fans expressed disappointment in the news. One wrote, “As a longtime Foo Fighters fan, I’m gonna need 3-5 business days to recover from this Dave Grohl being a cheater news.” Another wrote, “Dave Grohl WTF. Can we have a SINGLE decent man on this planet? Time to quit the bi thing and live as a lesbian. There really is no hope.”
