Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has clarified that a woman’s viral Instagram post purportedly showing his love child is fake after admitting he fathered a baby outside of his marriage to Jordyn Blum.
A social media user with the handle @valeriegreyston shared a since-deleted photo Wednesday of a snuggly baby holding a mother’s hand with a lengthy caption claiming the that the baby belonged to the Foo Fighters frontman.
“My sweet Roxie Junie Grohl, being your mama has already been the most incredible experience of my life,” the post began. “Every day, I fall more in love with you and this new role.”
The woman, who was lying according to Grohl, claimed Grohl was “by [her] side through the entire pregnancy,” saying she was “grateful for his love and support.”
However, a rep for Grohl was quick to tell TMZ later Wednesday that the child in the picture was not the rock star’s spawn.
Dave Grohl has opened up about his new fatherhood journey and he was asking for his wife’s forgiveness. The 55-year-old seemed eager to maintain his reputation among his fanbase.
Grohl recently revealed his infidelity in an Instagram post. “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” the “Everlong” singer wrote.
“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,” his statement concluded.
Grohl’s eldest two daughters deactivated their Instagram accounts amid the baby drama, indicating some tension within the family.
He also reportedly hired a divorce attorney before making the shocking announcement. The Grammy winner met Blum, a former model, at a West Hollywood, California, bar in 2001, and they tied the knot in August 2003. The former Nirvana drummer and Blum share three daughters: Violet Maye, 18, Harper Willow, 15, and Ophelia Saint, 10.
