In a whirlwind of online rumors and personal revelations, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has had to contend with a viral Instagram post falsely claiming he fathered a baby with a woman named Valerie Greyston. The controversy erupted after Grohl publicly admitted to having a child outside of his 21-year marriage to Jordyn Blum, a confession that shocked fans worldwide.
The viral post came from an Instagram account under the name @valeriegreyston, now deactivated, which featured a photo of a baby wrapped in a pink blanket. The post claimed that the child, named Roxie Junie Grohl, was Grohl's daughter. Greyston wrote that Grohl had been a supportive partner throughout the pregnancy and included hashtags like "#happy20thbirthdaytome" to celebrate the baby’s arrival.
However, Grohl's representatives quickly denied these claims, clarifying that while Grohl did father a child outside of his marriage, the baby in Greyston's post was not his. The singer had already confirmed the birth of his new daughter but kept the identities of the child and mother private. He also expressed deep regret for the affair and is reportedly working on mending his relationship with Blum and their three daughters, Violet, Harper, and Ophelia.
Grohl has asked for privacy during this difficult time and emphasized his commitment to being a loving father to all his children, while the viral post has fueled speculation online. Fans and media alike continue to react to the unfolding drama, but Grohl has made it clear that not everything shared on social media should be taken as fact.
