Dave Grohl’s Ex Tina Basich Detailed Rocker’s Infidelity in Memoir Years Before Recent Baby Scandal

by

As a devoted fan with a keen eye for the behind-the-scenes drama, I’ve been following Dave Grohl’s rollercoaster ride of life with bated breath. From his days as the drummer of Nirvana to his triumphant rise as the frontman of Foo Fighters, his story has always been one of resilience and redemption.

Upon Dave Grohl announcing the birth of a child outside his marriage on Tuesday, September 10, his past relationships have been under close examination for potential infidelity. It’s now revealed that this wasn’t the first time the ex-Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman was accused of cheating. Previously, Tina Basich alleged that Grohl had been unfaithful during their relationship, even before he recently admitted to past indiscretions in public.

In her 2003 memoir, “Pretty Good for a Girl: The Autobiography of a Snowboarding Pioneer,” Basich, now 55, recounted the heartache she experienced when she found out Grohl, also 55, was reportedly unfaithful to her. They had been dating for two years in the late 90s and split around the time Basich sustained a leg injury that temporarily ended her sports career.

Basich wrote that the rock star was so consumed by his label deals, music, and press tours that he barely had time for her. She even questioned the entire rockstar community in her book, sincerely asking them to reveal how they balance a real relationship with their demanding schedules. For her part, Basich said she gave her all while in a relationship with Grohl and felt like she was putting her career on hold for his. 

It’s clear that the girlfriend was not a match for the bandleader, given his infidelity. Basic admitted to feeling both disappointed and angry when she learned about her boyfriend’s cheating scandal not directly but indirectly, through rumors.

She expressed that breakups are tough, but partings like a Rockstar’s departure are the most painful. She mentioned this in reference to her split with him, explaining that all she received after chasing him for five weeks to uncover the truth was a brief phone call from the singer known for All Apologies.

Grohl also divorced his ex-wife Jennifer Leigh Youngblood in 1997 after admitting to infidelity.

On that particular day, I excitedly shared on Instagram: “I’ve just welcomed a brand-new baby girl into my life, born beyond the confines of my marriage.” The musician, in the very same post, made it clear that his love for my partner of 23 years, Jordyn Blum, and our beautiful daughters – Violet, aged 18, Harper, age 15, and Ophelia, at 10 – remains as strong as ever.

In the post he made, he stated that he’s exerting all his efforts to rebuild their trust.

He and Blum were last seen publicly at Wimbledon in London in July.

Regarding his professional life, Grohl has been generating buzz by implying that Taylor Swift doesn’t sing live on stage. This claim suggests she can pull off three-hour performances without errors due to this approach. In reference to the Foo Fighters tour, which he playfully dubbed the “Errors Tour,” a wink toward Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour,” Grohl emphasized that mistakes are inevitable during their live shows as they are, in fact, actual live events.

The group gained notice too, by openly criticizing Trump and backing Harris as a presidential candidate following an incident where they claimed he played their tune at a rally without prior approval.
