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

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the 55-year-old said he wanted to be a “loving and supportive father” to his newborn daughter.

Grohl has three daughters with his wife Jordyn Blum, whom he married in 2003.

In his social media post, Grohl said he loves his family and is doing “everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”

“We are grateful for your consideration for all the children affected as we move forward together. Dave.”

Grohl played drums in the groundbreaking grunge band Nirvana from 1990 to 1994, when lead singer Kurt Cobain died at the age of 27.

He founded the Foo Fighters and has composed a number of chart-topping albums, including their most recent work, 2023 is but here we are.
