Dave Grohl’s confession after cheating on his wife
In his Instagram post, Grohl acknowledged his infidelity and confirmed the birth of a child outside of his marriage.
His statement read: “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.

Grohl’s relationship with Jordyn Blum
Dave Grohl has been married to Jordyn Blum, a model and television producer, since 2003.
The couple first met at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in Los Angeles in 2001.
Their relationship had an interesting start, as Grohl revealed in a 2007 interview with “ELLE”.
After a few dates, he decided he wasn’t ready for a serious relationship and stopped calling Blum.
However, three months later, he had a change of heart and reached out to her again.
Blum, surprised by his return, eventually gave him another chance, leading to their marriage on August 2, 2003.
The couple has since welcomed three daughters: Violet Maye, 18, Harper Willow, 15, and Ophelia Saint, 10.
Grohl’s eldest daughter, Violet, has even joined the Foo Fighters on tour as a musician, following in her father’s footsteps.
Despite the personal challenges Grohl now faces, he and Blum were seen together as recently as July 2024.
The couple attended the Wimbledon tennis tournament in London, sitting in the Royal Box alongside other celebrities.
Their united front in public, however, contrasts with the private struggles Grohl has now disclosed.
Blum’s past relationships
Before his marriage to Blum, Grohl was married to Jennifer Leigh Youngblood from 1994 to 1997.
Their relationship ended in divorce, and according to a 2007 profile in “The Guardian”, infidelity played a role in the breakup.
Grohl has been candid in the past about his experiences with relationships.
This recent revelation echoes the complexities he has faced in his personal life.
Dave Grohl’s impact on the music industry is undeniable.
From his days as the drummer for Nirvana to founding and leading the Foo Fighters, Grohl has cemented his place in rock history.
“The Foo Fighters, known for hits like ‘Everlong’ and ‘Learn to Fly,’ have become a staple in modern rock.
Grohl’s ability to reinvent himself musically has earned him legions of fans.
Grohl’s personal struggles and public revelations are now part of his narrative. However, his musical contributions remain at the forefront of his career.
In 2020, Grohl and the Foo Fighters made headlines when they sued former U.S.
President Donald Trump for using their song “My Hero” without permission during a re-election campaign rally in Arizona.
The band’s spokesperson made it clear that they would not have granted permission for their music to be used in political events.
