Dave Grohl has admitted to cheating on his wife Jordyn Blum and secretly fathering a baby.

The 55-year-old Foo Fighters singer admitted this in a statement posted on Instagram on Tuesday.

The statement reads: “I recently became the father of a daughter born outside of my marriage. I intend to be a loving and supportive father to her.”

“I love my wife and children and am 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.”

Grohl and Blum, 48, have been married since 2003 and have three daughters together – Violet, Harper and Ophelia.

Previously she worked as a model and television producer.

The rock star, often described as a “family man,” has spoken about the importance of his family in interviews over the years.

In 2007, Grohl told The Guardian:[My wife] Jordyn and [daughter] “Violets are anchors that keep me from disappearing completely.”

In a 2012 interview with TIME, he said his family had “changed everything I do.”

He added: “It's changed everything I do. When you have kids, you see life differently. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It's inevitable that that will find its way into songwriting.”

Grohl divorced his first wife, Jennifer Leigh Youngblood, in 1997 after she admitted to infidelity.
