Dave Grohl's brutal past comment about his wife Jordyn Blum has resurfaced amid his cheating scandal.

On Tuesday (September 10), the 55-year-old Foo Fighters frontman admitted to cheating on his wife and fathering a child outside of his marriage.

In a post shared on his Instagram, Grohl penned that he would be working to "regain" the trust of his 48-year-old wife, and their three daughters.

“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage," he said. “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.

Years before the 'Everlong' musician confessed to cheating, he seemingly predicted his marriage with Blum would not last... before it even began.

This was revealed in a resurfaced interview with Q magazine, in which the rocker reminisced about the first time he met his spouse in 2001 at the Sunset Marquis whiskey bar in West Hollywood.

Grohl was out with late bandmate Taylor Hawkins at the time and shared: "Taylor was the looker. I mean, girls would send him drinks. Some bombshell comes up and starts talking to Taylor. I was just out of a Tenacious D session.

"I've got Vans trainers on, no socks, dirty shorts, and a dirty T-shirt, surrounded by beautiful Hollywood. She waved her friend Jordyn over. I was like, ‘Oh my God. Not a chance!'" he said.

What really has fans talking is the 'My Hero' musician's shocking comment from that night: "So I'm just having some drinks and acting like a jacka**. And by the end of the night, I was p**sed and I'm staring at her going, 'You're my future ex-wife.'"

Instead of being put off by the remark, Blum played along and gave him her number, writing, "'Jordyn, your future ex-wife,'" and the pair started seeing each other "a few times" after.

Grohl disclosed in a 2007 interview with Elle magazine that he stopped contacting Blum after they went on a few first dates because he realized he wasn’t ready for commitment.

“When I first met my wife, we went out on a few dates and I decided that I wasn’t ready for a serious relationship, so I just stopped calling,” he recalled. “After three months, I had a revelation and called her back. She picked up the phone and said, ‘Oh, I never thought I’d hear from you again.’”

The couple rekindled their romance and got married in 2003. They welcomed three kids together: Violet Maye, 18, Harper Willow, 15, and Ophelia Saint, 10, born in 2006, 2009, and 2014, respectively.

Grohl didn’t disclose any further details about the new baby or the mother of the child.
