Dave Grohl, sooo disappointed (had a baby outside of his marriage)

[Anonymous]

I wonder if they had an open marriage and his wife has someone as well. For him, I bet the woman is younger and this some kind of prolonged midlife crisis

Some PR / crisis comms consultant wrote that post on instagram. He has undoubtedly cheated on his wife - and ultimately, his family - so many times. He just got caught this time. Chances are the mother of the baby lined up a lawyer and there was a paternity test … he didn’t come clean just cause he felt bad.

Yes. This is why Taylor and Travis won’t work, btw. She does not strike me as the type willing to look the other way.

I don’t think Taylor will ever marry him, but if she did, I doubt he’d do anything to mess that up. He’s angling for some kind of post-football entertainment career, which will never happen if he incurs the wrath of the swifties.

And yet, that doesn’t stop men from cheating. Common sense and decency doesn’t stop them from cheating.

Agree and also agree with others who chimed in that no other kids is probably a big stipulation in all these arrangements. Which is why this is kind of a big deal.

I actually think it is more rare to point to a big celeb male who DOESN’T have this arrangement than list those who do.

I know everyone loves Freddie Prince and SMG but tons of blinds say in their early years they had an open marriage. I’ve heard Matt Damon has some rules but can stray or at least years ago could - have heard anything lately. Ive heard Kate Hudson had an arrangement with Matt Bellamy when they were engaged about what he could do on the road. And so on.

The guy from Green Day has been with his wife forever but he’s said things like I’m so grateful she’s stood by me through the hell I’ve caused or something along those lines and I took that to mean he’s cheated at least once. Jon Bon Jovi has made similar comments.

I have never heard anything about Kevin and Kyra cheating. So I still have some faith in humanity.

You realize that the “hell he caused” was the agony of him cheating on his wife.

There’s a myth that wives of famous men are ok with cheating. They aren’t. 99% of women expect fidelity and it is crushing when their spouse betrays them. They stick around for all of the reasons people stay in toxic marriages, but it’s a fantasy to think that these wives of rockstars are ok with their husbands straying.

It's not great but it's not awful. I can think of many stories about celebs that are awful. This ain't one.

I think cheating in your spouse is despicable. Even grosser if you have kids. That he’s acknowledging the baby is table-stakes. It doesn’t negate how awful his betrayal is to his wife or how disgusting it is to have unprotected sex with your affair partner and then, presumably, have sex with your wife and the mother of your three girls. Yuck.

They may not be ok with it but they certainly tolerate it more and look the other way more than your average person would. They have a lot more to lose in a divorce. Now that the baby is pubic knowledge this may be the last straw. Previously it was a private issue, but now that it’s public his wife may want to safe face and get her dignity back by finally leaving.

That he was having sex outside his marriage. Obviously, he's a rock star, with all the trappings that come with that. And perhaps women who are married to rock stars have different rules about fidelity. I'm only talking about his infidelity from my crush perspective.

I’m shocked he didn’t have a vasectomy or use a condom or both! He is a rock star, he is not clueless. Cheating is bad enough but now there is a reminder of the cheating in his wife’s face for the next 18 years. How could he be so stupid?

It’s called human biology. Men want to procreate. You think he doesn’t know what happens when you repeatedly have unprotected sex and ejaculate into a woman? He was trying to get her pregnant.

He really duped everyone into thinking he was an all around good guy and family man. Nope.

[Anonymous]

Feel so sad for his wife and daughters. There will now only be “before” the affair and baby and “after” the affair and baby.

Infidelity is so damaging. And no, I don’t think anyone no matter who you’re married to is ok with cheating. They may look the other way but it comes at a terrible suffering.

[Anonymous]

How the hell could a man this rich who wants to sleep around not have gotten a vasectomy already? Just pure idiocy

[Anonymous]

The worst thing is the unprotected sex. So gross and disgusting and unfair to the wife. Why not wrap it up. She probably has STD now to go along with his baby.

Poor kid.

Because condoms don’t really work with men in their mid-50s. He should have gotten a vasectomy.

Part of me wonders whether he wanted to get her pregnant as some sort of weird power play over his wife.

F@@@@k you, Dave Grohl!!

So disappointed as a betrayed wife/mother myself.

The pain and trauma for your spouse and kids is immeasurable. I see your older teen daughters deactivated all their social media accounts. Ugh
