Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl shocked fans on September 10 when he revealed that he was welcoming a child “outside” of his marriage.

“I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness,” he wrote in his Instagram statement.

He also confirmed that he would be “loving and supportive” of his new daughter.

Grohl and his wife, Jordyn Blum, married on August 2, 2003, at their Los Angeles home and have three daughters: Violet, Harper and Ophelia.

Blum stays out of the spotlight and leads a private life, although the musician has shared some tidbits about their love over the years.

She is a former model

Blum worked as a model as a teenager and once appeared on the cover of Teen.

She told the publication that one of her favorite bands was Nirvana, which Grohl played drummer for from 1990 to 1994.

When she met Grohl in 2001, she was a producer at MTV.

She worked for the Foo Fighters

Blum has worked with the Foo Fighters both in front of and behind the camera.

She directed the band’s 2002 music video for “Walking a Line” and appeared in the video for “White Limo”, taken from the Foo Fighters’ 2011 album “Wasting Light”.

It’s no surprise that she also served as muse for several of the rock band’s songs, including “Statues” and “Burn Away.”

“That song is about my wife and I. To me, there’s nothing more beautiful than seeing a husband and wife’s headstones side by side in a cemetery,” Grohl told GQ in 2008 about “Statues.”

In a 2006 interview with AV Club, he described “Burn Away” as a “romantic… prom ballad” written about his love for Blum.

She was ignored by Grohl

It wasn’t exactly love at first sight for Grohl and Blum. In fact, the rocker admitted that he ghosted her for a few months when they first started dating.

“When I first met my wife, we went on a few dates and I decided I wasn’t ready for a serious relationship, so I just stopped calling,” he told Elle in 2007.

“After three months I had an epiphany and I called her back. She picked up the phone and said, ‘Oh, I never thought I’d hear from you again.’”

She has made public appearances with Grohl

Although she prefers to stay out of the spotlight, Blum does attend major events with her husband.

In July 2024, the couple attended the Wimbledon tennis tournament in London.

Blum also walked the red carpet at the 2023 Grammy Awards with Grohl and their three daughters.

She helps Grohl stay grounded

The “Pretender” hitmaker has credited his family over the years as a force that keeps him grounded.

“I wouldn’t be able to tour if I didn’t have my feet on the ground. So Jordyn and Violet are the anchors that keep me from disappearing completely,” he told The Guardian in 2007.
