He wrote, “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.”
Anticipating backlash, the musician rushed to turn off his comments section but could not wholly avoid trending.
“So Dave Grohl cheated on his wife of over 20 years and now fathered a baby with his mistress. My opinion of him plummeted after his self-righteous attitude over vaccine mandates, yet it seems it can still drop further. Foo Fighters have had no luck since then. What a mess,” one X user wrote.
Another added, “Dave Grohl is having a child out of wedlock and announced it like a football team firing its coach lol.”
