Los Angeles, March 20 – Dave Grohl, the frontman of the American rock band Foo Fighters, underwent "70 weeks of therapy" after he admitted to having a child outside of his marriage.
The 55-year-old musician made headlines in 2024 when he revealed he had been unfaithful to his wife, Jordyn Blum, the mother of three of his children. Dave has since shared that he has been attending almost daily therapy sessions following a difficult period in his life, which also included the death of his Foo Fighters bandmate, Taylor Hawkins, in 2022, and the death of his mother, Virginia, according to 'Female First UK'.
He told the Guardian newspaper, "I've been in therapy six days a week for 70 weeks. I did the math the other day: over 430 sessions."
When asked if the revelation about the child led him to therapy, he said, "There were so many things that led me to this therapy."
According to 'Female First UK', the rocker went on to add that the scandal prompted him to "re-evaluate" himself.
He shared, "I have to be perfectly honest. Writing songs and writing lyrics about these things is sometimes enough. As far as having a deeper, longer conversation about them, I still reserve a lot of this for my own personal life, as impersonal and public as it may seem. But I think that for many reasons, I wound up in a place that I needed to stop and sit with myself and re-evaluate myself. It’s an ongoing process.”
He also revealed that he stepped away from social media after his bombshell statement, in which he vowed to be a good father to his new baby girl and earn his family's forgiveness. He is also learning not to worry too much about what others think of him.
