Dave Grohl allegedly cheated on ex Tina Basich years before baby scandal

Dave Grohl allegedly has a history of infidelity.

Over 20 years before the 55-year-old musician admitted he cheated on wife Jordyn Blum and fathered a baby out of wedlock, his ex-girlfriend, Tina Basich, accused him of being with another woman while they dated for two years in the late 1990s.

Basich, 55, wrote in her 2003 memoir, “Pretty Good for a Girl: The Autobiography of a Snowboarding Pioneer,” that Grohl was too “busy” with his career at the time to prioritize her.

“The pressure was too much for our relationship to handle,” she wrote. “You can only give up so much of your heart and your career and your time and your spirit, and here I was, giving it all up for a guy and losing myself in the process.”

“I felt like I was taking time away from his career, which was his priority — totally putting mine in the backseat without even realizing it,” she added.

The professional snowboarder then directly accused Grohl of cheating on her.

“I don’t know how anyone in his profession can have a normal relationship with a girlfriend…or two, as it turned out,” she said.

Basich claimed she found out about Grohl’s alleged infidelity “secondhand, through the grapevine,” and that it felt like “everyone else in the world knew about it but me.”

She said she was “so disappointed” in herself for “being sucked in” by Grohl.

“Breakups suck. But Rockstar exits are the worst,” her book said. “All I got was a five-minute phone call from him, after five weeks of me calling and trying to get ahold of him because I just had to know if these rumors were true and had to hear it straight from the source. There was nothing.”

After dumping Basich, the Foo Fighters front man allegedly “dropped off the planet” in Basich’s world, but he “was everywhere else because the articles were showing up in all the magazines since he was finishing up a press tour for his new album.”

“Worse yet were all the calls from people who wanted to tell me all the dirt they had on him, like it would comfort me in some way.”

She said she “couldn’t escape the thought of him” and “purposely didn’t watch MTV because his video always seemed to be playing, and I didn’t listen to the radio because his single was climbing the charts.”

“I went grocery shopping a few days after we broke up and heard the elevator-music version of ‘Learn to Fly,’ which gave me an instant stomachache, then saw him on the cover of Guitar magazine staring at me in the check-out line,” Basich wrote.

“I didn’t know how to handle it. I thought, I’m just not that strong,” she added.

The Post has reached out to Basich for comment.

On Tuesday, Grohl anounced on Instagram that he recently welcomed a child with a woman outside of his marriage to his wife, Jordyn.

“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” Grohl’s statement read.

“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,” he continued. “We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”

Grohl’s rep told The Post that the musician had no additional comment.

Grohl has three daughters, Violet Maye,18, Harper Willow, 15 and Ophelia Saint, 10, with Blum. He confirmed that his new child is also a girl.

The singer and his wife were seen at Wimbledon in July, just weeks before he announced his infidelity.

The couple tied the knot in a ceremony held at their Los Angeles home on Aug. 2, 2003. They met two years earlier when Grohl was out at the Sunset Marquis with his former bandmate Taylor Hawkins, who died in 2022.

Grohl said in a resurfaced interview with Q magazine that he acted “like a jackass” and called Blum his “future ex-wife” the night they met.

The rocker ghosted Blum afterward because he “wasn’t ready for a serious relationship,” he told Elle in 2007.

However, he eventually changed his mind after Hawkins’ 2001 overdose convinced him to settle down.

Before meeting Blum, Grohl was married to Jennifer Youngblood, whom he also allegedly cheated on.
