In a surprising revelation, Dave Grohl has disclosed that he has fathered a daughter outside of his 23-year marriage to Jordyn Blum. The Foo Fighters frontman, 55, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share the news and address the situation publicly.
“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” Grohl stated in his post. He expressed his commitment to being a devoted father to his new child while emphasizing his dedication to his wife and their three children. “I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness,” Grohl added. He also requested consideration for all the children involved as the family navigates this new chapter.
Grohl’s representative declined to provide further comments on the matter.
Grohl has been married to Jordyn Blum since 2003. The couple shares three daughters: Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10. Despite his high-profile career, Grohl has often spoken about the profound impact his family has on his life and work. In a 2009 interview with TIME, he reflected on how fatherhood changed his perspective, saying, “It’s inevitable that [family] would make its way into your songwriting.”
In recent public appearances, Blum and Grohl have been seen together at various events. The couple and their daughters made a notable appearance at the 2023 Grammy Awards, where they posed for photos on the red carpet. Blum was seen in a black sequined dress, while Grohl wore an all-black outfit. Their daughters, Violet, Harper, and Ophelia, also showcased their individual styles.
Most recently, the couple attended Wimbledon in London in July 2024, where they were spotted in the prestigious Royal Box, alongside other celebrities like David Beckham.
