Dave Grohl, the 55-year-old rocker known for his time in Nirvana and as the frontman of Foo Fighters, has recently shared some surprising news with his fans. In a statement posted on Instagram, he revealed that he had cheated on his wife and welcomed a baby with another woman. This marks his fourth child, but the first one born outside of his marriage.
In his statement, Grohl expressed his love for his wife and children and his commitment to being a loving and supportive parent to his new daughter. He also asked for consideration towards all the children involved as they move forward as a family. Grohl has been married to his wife for more than two decades, but who exactly is she?
Grohl tied the knot with director Jordyn Blum in August 2003. The couple has mostly kept their relationship out of the public eye, but it is believed that they met in 2001 at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey in West Hollywood. In a rare comment about their relationship, Grohl shared that they almost didn't end up together. He initially stopped calling after a few dates, but after three months, he had a change of heart and called her back. Blum, who was a teen model and TV producer, was working for MTV at the time.
Before his marriage to Blum, Grohl was previously married to photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood in 1994. Their marriage ended in divorce just over two years later, with Grohl admitting to infidelity during their relationship. This also led to the departure of Youngblood's good friend, guitarist Pat Smear, from the Foo Fighters. However, Grohl and Smear later reconciled.
Grohl and Blum have three daughters together - Violet, Harper, and Ophelia. Violet, who is now 18 years old, was born in April 2006 and sometimes performs with her father, including at the Foo Fighters' surprise Glastonbury set in 2023. Harper was born in 2009 and is named after Grohl's great uncle. Ophelia was born in August 2014.
Blum mostly stays out of the spotlight, but she has made a few exceptions, such as appearing in the band's music video for "White Limo." She and their three daughters also made a red carpet appearance to support Grohl at the Grammy Awards last year. Grohl has spoken highly of his wife, calling her and their eldest daughter the "anchors" that keep him from disappearing completely. He has also revealed that some of his songs were inspired by her, including "Burn Away" and "Statues."
In a 2008 interview, Grohl opened up about his love for Blum and their marriage, saying there is nothing more beautiful to him than seeing the headstones of a husband and wife side by side in a graveyard. The couple has been together for over two decades and their love for each other and their family is evident.
