‘Rock Star Exits Are The Worst’: That Time Dave Grohl’s Ex Wrote About Infidelity Years Before His Baby Out Of Wedlock Announcement

As a seasoned gamer with a knack for delving into the lives of my favorite musicians, I can’t help but feel a tinge of empathy for Dave Grohl, the rock icon who has just added another chapter to his already intriguing biography. The news about his latest addition to the family and the subsequent drama surrounding his personal life is nothing short of captivating, much like his music that continues to resonate with millions worldwide.


Dramas from personal lives frequently become public spectacles, particularly in Hollywood and the music industry. Just this week, renowned rocker Dave Grohl shared that he’d recently become a father at 55, a child born outside his marriage. This revelation was made on social media, with comments disabled, but it has still stirred curiosity among fans – as is often the case with alleged infidelity in celebrity relationships. Consequently, people are now more eager than ever to learn about Grohl’s private life. Not even a day had passed when old statements from one of Grohl’s former partners began circulating online.

In the late 90s, Tina Basich went out with Dave Grohl, a period that followed his departure from grunge and Nirvana. At that time, he was deeply involved in one of the most prominent rock bands, Foo Fighters, which he established in 1994, famously calling its name “the stupidest fucking name” after Kurt Cobain’s demise. Tina claimed his lifestyle was jam-packed with touring, press engagements, occasional songwriting for popular TV themes, and dating her – and possibly other women too.

It was surprising and confusing to me that someone in their line of work could maintain a healthy relationship with a single partner, let alone two, as I later discovered. I learned about this situation indirectly, through rumors circulating among people, which made it seem like everyone else knew except for me.

After their separation, she found it hard, as Foo Fighters were ubiquitous during the late nineties. Everywhere she went, from elevators playing “Learn to Fly” as elevator music, to Grohl’s interviews popping up on her TV. In an interview (with Page Six), she reflected on this experience, stating that breakups are tough, but having a rock star ex-partner makes it even worse, as she put it, “rock star exits are the worst.

The strain became overwhelming for our bond, as it could only withstand so much of my love, my profession, my energy, and my soul. Yet, I found myself pouring it all into this relationship, ultimately losing myself along the way.

Before his marriage to Tina Basich, Dave Grohl was previously wed to Jennifer Leigh Youngblood. An article from The Guardian in 2007 revealed that he faced challenges with monogamy and infidelity during his first marriage. In the years that followed, Grohl met Jordyn Blum and they tied the knot in 2003. As a couple, they have three children together; their youngest was born in 2014.

On Tuesday, Grohl wrote on social media he’d become a father for the fourth time.

Lately, I’ve welcomed a new baby girl into my life, born outside of my current marriage. I intend to be an affectionate and nurturing parent to her. I hold deep love for my spouse and our kids, and I am working tirelessly to rebuild their trust and seek their forgiveness. We appreciate your understanding as we navigate this challenging journey together.

18-year-old daughter, Violet, has chosen to deactivate her social media accounts after the latest announcement. The family’s last known public appearance together was at Wimbledon earlier this year. Grohl recently made headlines for his criticism towards Taylor Swift not performing live concerts.
