Dave Grohl has announced that he has fathered a baby girl born outside his marriage.
The 55-year-old frontman and vocalist of American rock group Foo Fighters shared the news on his Instagram account on Sept 11, saying he plans to be a loving and supportive parent to his daughter.
Grohl has been married to American Jordyn Blum, 48, a former model and TV producer, since 2003. They have three daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.
In his post, the American musician said he loves his family and is doing everything he can to “regain their trust and earn their forgiveness”.
He added: “We’re grateful for your consideration towards all the children involved, as we move forward together.”
Grohl’s post had no details about the identity of the baby’s mother, and he disabled comments.
The former drummer of American rock band Nirvana was married to American photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood from 1994 to 1997. They divorced after he admitted to being unfaithful during the marriage.
Grohl started Foo Fighters in 1994 after the death of American musician Kurt Cobain brought an end to Nirvana.
