Former Slipknot drummer Jay Weinberg and his wife, Chloe Weinberg, have welcomed their first child together.

“Mom and baby are healthy and doing great,” Jay wrote in an Instagram post Sunday announcing the news.

“We’re so thankful for the love and encouragement from our friends and loved ones, and over the moon with excitement to welcome our little girl into this world,” the post continues.

Not only does the baby have a drummer for a dad, she also has a drummer for a grandfather: Max Weinberg, longtime drummer for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band.

Jay Weinberg was let go from Slipknot in 2023 after nearly a decade with the masked metallers. Following his departure from the band, he joined Suicidal Tendencies before announcing his departure in January.

Jay released his debut solo song, “Sandstone,” in 2025. Another track, “Drone Operator,” followed in March.
