Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters has revealed he has a daughter from a relationship outside his marriage. He shared the news on Instagram today.
Grohl’s statement read: “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I aim to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and children and am working to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We appreciate your respect for all the children involved as we move forward.”
Grohl has been married to Jordyn Blum, a model and TV producer, since 2003. They first met at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in 2001.
In a 2007 interview, Grohl recalled their first meeting: “When I met my wife, we went on a few dates. I decided I wasn’t ready for a serious relationship and stopped calling. After three months, I realised my mistake and called her back. She answered and said, ‘Oh, I never thought I’d hear from you again.’”
The couple married on August 2, 2003, and have three daughters: Violet Maye, 18, Harper Willow, 15, and Ophelia Saint, 10. Violet Maye is currently touring with Foo Fighters.
Recently, Grohl and Blum were seen together at London’s Wimbledon tennis tournament in July 2024, sitting in Royal Box seats with other celebrities.
Before marrying Blum, Grohl was married to Jennifer Leigh Youngblood from 1994 to 1997. They divorced in 1997, with infidelity cited as one of the reasons.
Grohl, a key figure in the rock music scene, was the drummer for Nirvana from 1990 to 1994. He founded Foo Fighters in 1994 and serves as the lead singer, guitarist, and principal songwriter.
The Foo Fighters recently sued former president Donald Trump for using their music during his re-election campaign without permission. Their song ‘My Hero’ was played at an Arizona rally, and a spokesperson stated: “Foo Fighters were not asked permission, and if they were they would not have granted it.”
