Mia Khalifa has shared a social media post about Dave Grohl following the musician’s infidelity announcement.
The Foo Fighters frontman released a statement on September 10 in which he revealed that he had fathered a child outside his marriage to Jordyn Blum, with whom he shares three daughters.
“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” Grohl wrote on Instagram. “I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”
“We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together,” he concluded his statement.

A number of fans expressed shock at the news, particularly since many have often referred to him as “the nicest man in rock.”
Following the personal announcement, former adult film star Khalifa took to X, formerly Twitter, on September 11 to share her thoughts on Grohl in a tongue-in-cheek post.
“We lost Dave Grohl, but we still have Billie Joe,” Khalifa wrote on the platform, in apparent reference to Green Day rocker Billie Joe Armstrong.
As of press time, the post has garnered more than 150,000 views. Khalifa often uses her platform to weigh in on a number of issues, including politics, weight loss, other celebrities and Israel’s ongoing war with Hamas.

Grohl, 55, has been married to Blum since 2003. They share three daughters: Violet Maye, 18, Harper Willow, 15, and Ophelia Saint, 10.
His previous marriage to Jennifer Youngblood ended in 1997 due to Grohl’s infidelity, as he admitted in an interview with The Guardian back in 2007. In the same interview, the star referred to his wife and Violet, their only child at the time, as “anchors that keep me from completely disappearing.”
Dr. Contrecia T. Tharpe, chief storyteller and strategist at FayeVaughn Creative, a marketing, branding, and communications agency, recently told Newsweek that Grohl’s long-standing reputation as a “nice guy” had earned him substantial goodwill among fans, which could help to cushion the blow of his recent revelation.
“Over the years, Grohl has cultivated an image of authenticity, humility, and generosity, which are powerful assets in weathering personal controversies like this. His loyal fan base, as well as the broader public, are likely to view him with some level of understanding—particularly given his history of good deeds and positive public presence,” she explained.
“That said, public perception will largely depend on how he manages the narrative from this point forward. Transparency will be critical. If Grohl openly acknowledges the situation, takes accountability, and responds with sincerity, he has the opportunity to steer the conversation in a more positive direction. A direct, honest approach would reinforce the authenticity his brand is built upon, helping him retain trust with both his fans and the media.”
