Dave Grohl’s daughter, Violet, appears to have deactivated her Instagram account amid the recent revelation that her father welcomed a fourth daughter outside of his marriage.
On September 10, Grohl announced on Instagram that he had fathered a child with a woman outside his marriage to Jordyn Blum. The news comes as a surprise to many, and Violet’s Instagram account was deactivated on the same day, though the exact timing of her account closure remains unclear.
Grohl, who has been married to Blum for 23 years, is the father of Violet, 18, as well as Ophelia, 10, and Harper, 15. In his Instagram statement, the Foo Fighters frontman expressed his commitment to being a loving and supportive parent to his new daughter while also working to regain the trust and forgiveness of his wife and children.
“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.”
Earlier this year, Grohl showcased his close relationship with Violet during a performance at the 2023 Glastonbury Festival. The 18-year-old joined her father onstage, where Grohl praised her as his “favorite singer in the world” before performing a track from Foo Fighters’ latest album, But Here We Are. The heartfelt moment was followed by Grohl’s humorous comment about hitting a bad note with his daughter.
The Grohl family also made a notable appearance at the 2023 Grammy Awards, where they were seen together on the red carpet. Grohl sported his signature rock style, while Blum wore a short, sequined dress. Violet’s ensemble included a blazer dress and knee-high boots, and her sisters, Harper and Ophelia, also stood out with their distinct styles.
As the Grohl family navigates this new chapter, the public’s reaction and Violet’s social media silence highlight the personal challenges they face amidst public scrutiny.
