How Dave Grohl's idyllic 'family man' image was shattered: Rocker gushed about 'putting his daughters first' by rejecting gigs and doing the daily school run (while failing to mention his wife Jordyn Blum) - before revealing he fathered a secret love child


The Foo Fighters hitmaker, 55, may be best known for his heavy rock tracks, but has also openly discussed his dedication to his family, and his daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.

This dedication has included pulling out of gigs when they clash with important family events, and ensuring he does the school run every single day, however he has never been as eloquent about his 21-year marriage. In a 2018 interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Dave admitted that he turned down huge gigs after being told that he could miss one of his daughter's birthdays, and even flew back from Australia between shows to attend a father/daughter dance. In early August, Jordyn, who has been married to the rocker since 2003, may have hinted to some marital strain as she opted not to wear her engagement ring on a seemingly tense outing together in Los Angeles.
