Dave Grohl has revealed he has spent 70 weeks in therapy, attending sessions six days a week. The Foo Fighters frontman said he calculated over 430 sessions after deciding to re-evaluate his life following a cheating and paternity scandal.
In September 2024, Grohl announced he had become the father of a baby daughter born outside his marriage to Jordyn Blum. He stated he was doing everything to regain the trust of his wife and their three daughters: Violet, Harper, and Ophelia.
Speaking to The Guardian, Grohl said there were 'so many' factors that led him to seek therapy. He added that writing songs about personal issues is sometimes enough, but he reserves deeper conversations for his private life.
The 57-year-old musician said the process has helped change his outlook after being pulled in 'different directions'. He noted he had to stop worrying about what others thought of him.
Bassist Nate Mendel expressed concern about the band's reputation being damaged by the controversy. Grohl's representatives also dismissed a viral social media post from a woman claiming to be the child's mother.
Grohl has been married to Blum since 2003. He was previously married to photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood from 1994 to 1997, with reports of infidelity during that marriage as well.
