It's absolutely ridiculous. Open marriages are not common no matter how much these alternative polyamory/polygamous people want to try to make them mainstream.

"Trying to rebuild the trust of my wife and kids" certainly is not the talk of an 'open marriage'.

Having a baby outside of your marriage and making your kids have some half-sibling while still married to their birth mom is just nasty Jerry Springer type stuff.

Fwiw, Grohl is highly unattractive and a drunk. He obviously was stupid to get duped into the oldest gold-digger play in the book.

Eh, I don't think it's about saying open marriages are common or mainstream. It's about saying that a women married to a drinking rockstar is not a damsel in distress who believes her husband is traveling the world and drinking heavily while remaining faithful to her. It almost feels to me like the people painting her as this devastated, downtrodden woman are calling her stupid. Like she's some trad wife who sat at home batting her eyelashes while Dave Grohl walked all over her.

You are saying that you would be ok with your dh cheating on you and having a baby outside your marriage. Notice no one is saying she is a weak flower! But, even strong people can be devastated by betrayal. Until they announce that they have an open marriage it is assumed that it was a traditional marriage in that they both said they would 'forsake all others' and not have children with other men or women.

How can you be this dense and insensitive?

No, I didn't say this at all.

But I guess the joke is on me for trying to have civil discourse on the internet in 2024.

You're right, you're so right, your opinion on what marriage means and only that is the correct one. I will crawl back into my hovel as the dense, insensitive person I am. You have shamed me oh righteous one, bravo.

He was probably cheating on his wife all the time but the baby was the last straw.

Foo Fighters have released 11 albums and compilations since their wedding in 2003. Plus all the touring and merch revenue since 2003.

California is community property state, aka 50/50 split on assets acquired and revenue generated during the marriage. Further, California divorce law gives more to a spouse in a "long term marriage" of more than 10 years.

California divorce judges void and set aside prenups all the time. California has very strict rules about prenuptial agreements.

If you don’t think 99.99% of rock stars (men and women) cheat on their spouses, you’re very naive. At least he acknowledged this baby; usually the baby mama just gets paid off.

As for Kurt: I love his music, but the guy was a complete mess who ultimately lost to his demons and left a baby behind.

You all need to stop putting these people on pedestals.

So you expect ALL rockers to cheat, lie and have affairs? Just because you expect it does not mean it doesn't shock people.

Most do. It is not shocking at all. Many movie stars and.rock stars have almost zero moral compass.

No — most people have almost zero moral compass. It’s just that regular people don’t have people throwing themselves at us all the time.

There’s nothing inherently less moral about rock stars and movie stars.

People in open marriages do not do big Instagram posts about how they need to "rebuild trust" with their wife and children.

The instagram post was not for his marriage, it was for the court of public opinion.

I find it kind of insulting actually that so many people are so horrified on behalf of his wife and believe she is so traumatized and that he's destroyed her life and blah blah. Give the woman some agency please. She chose her life, she chose her husband, how do you have any idea if she was blindsided or traumatized or whatever. Just because your moral standard is that cheating and a baby outside of marriage is the absolute most evil thing that could have ever happened to her, do you really think a woman who has been in this marriage for so long with this man doesn't have her own set of values?

To the poster who said she can't get out of bed because she thought Dave Grohl "was a wonderful man, a man who could be trusted, a role model," why does cheating erase all those things? Some people, like me, and who knows, maybe his wife, don't see the world and relationships in such binary terms. Things aren't so black and white when it comes to monogamy and biology. People aren't perfect, his wife was well aware of his flaws and accepted him. Maybe this transgression is a bridge to far for her. Who knows, but the public pressure that this is such an unforgivable act is bonkers to me.

You are certainly entitled to your views regarding monogamy and marriage. However, the majority of married people feel that it is in fact, disgusting to father a child with someone outside of your marriage while you are still married, and especially when you have other children in the home. Whether he and his wife were ok with an open marriage is certainly between the two of them. But I can’t imagine she or their girls are remotely ok with him having an additional child with a mistress or one night stand or whatever it was.

FFS, amen!!! The other poster is out of her frickin' mind.

+1 AMEN!

That’s what I think. How can you marry someone who is a known cheater and the be shocked and horrified that he cheats? Come on.

Most people, famous or not are only as faithful as their options.
