Dave Grohl’s daughter has seemingly deactivated her Instagram account amid news that the rocker has welcomed a fourth daughter outside of his marriage.
On September 10, Dave Grohl, 54, posted a statement on his Instagram revealing that he recently fathered a child with a woman who is not his wife. Grohl, who has been married to Jordyn Blum for 23 years, shared that he plans to be a loving and supportive parent to his new daughter. He expressed his commitment to regaining the trust and forgiveness of his wife and children.
As of Tuesday afternoon, Grohl’s 18-year-old daughter, Violet, had deactivated her Instagram account. The exact date of the account deactivation remains unclear. Violet is one of Grohl’s three daughters with Blum; the couple also shares Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.
In his Instagram statement, Grohl addressed the situation publicly for the first time. “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” Grohl 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.”
The announcement comes as a surprise to fans and followers, given Grohl’s usually private personal life. Grohl’s statement reflects his desire to address the situation with transparency while navigating the complex dynamics of his family life.
Earlier this year, Grohl showcased his close bond with Violet during a performance at the Glastonbury Festival in June 2023. At the festival’s Pyramid Stage, Grohl introduced Violet as his “favorite singer in the world” before performing a track from his band’s latest album, But Here We Are. Grohl’s pride was evident as he cheered, “That’s my girl!” following their duet, and he humorously remarked about the experience, saying, “I love it when you’re on stage with your daughter and you hit a bad note.”
Grohl’s public appearances with his family have been notable for their warmth and unity. Earlier in the year, he attended the 2023 Grammy Awards with Blum and their three daughters. The family made a coordinated fashion statement on the red carpet, with Grohl sporting his characteristic rock style, including black-rimmed glasses. Blum wore a short, black sequined dress with off-shoulder white lace. Violet opted for a blazer dress and knee-high boots, complemented by red lipstick, while Harper donned a vintage floral dress with lug-sole boots. Ophelia stood out in a floaty ombré dress, accessorized with a gold purse.
