Who is Dave Grohl’s wife? Everything about Jordyn Blum

Dave Grohl admitted to cheating on his wife and fathering an illegitimate child.

In a brutal but honest Instagram post, the 55-year-old Foo Fighters frontman announced that he gave birth to a baby girl out of wedlock with Jordyn Blum on Tuesday, September 10.

“I recently became a father to a daughter born outside of my marriage,” Grohl said in a statement. “I plan to be a loving and supportive father to her. I love my wife and children and am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”

He concluded his post by saying, “We are grateful for your consideration for all the children affected as we move forward together.”

Grohl and Blum were married over 20 years ago in a wedding ceremony in August 2003 at their Los Angeles home. The couple have three children together (all girls): Violet, born in 2006; Harper, born in 2009; and Ophelia, born in 2014.

Jordyn Blum started out as a model and met Dave Grohl while working at MTV:

Before her time as a rock star wife, Blum was a model and graced the covers of Teen and other campaigns. She was reportedly discovered in a supermarket at the young age of 12.

After her modeling career, Blum became a producer at MTV, where, according to Spin, she eventually met her famous future husband.

Dave Grohl ignored Jordyn Blum after they met in 2001:

The Foo Fighter revealed that he met Blum in 2001 at the legendary Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in West Hollywood, but the road to getting there was initially bumpy.

“When I 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,” Grohl revealed in a 2017 interview with ELLE.

Months later he changed his mind.

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

Jordyn Blum has worked on several Foo Fighters projects:

The former MTV employee used her music knowledge to collaborate with the Foo Fighters several times and even appeared in the band’s music video “White Limo”.

In the video, Blum can be seen with the late Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister. She also used her expertise to co-direct the Foo Fighters’ music video “Walking a Line” in 2002.

Jordyn Blum suffered a medical emergency while Dave Grohl was appearing on television:

Blum was hospitalized after her appendix burst while Grohl was filling in as host for “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” He later revealed his wife’s health emergency during a conversation with Kimmel in August 2018.

“It’s true,” Grohl told the late-night host. “I got a text from her: ‘I’m not feeling too good.’ Then I walk off the stage after it’s all over and she says, ‘I’m on my way to the hospital to get my appendix removed.'”

Despite his professional commitments, Grohl did not miss her operation.

“I ran there and got there on time. She’s great,” he explained.

Jordyn Blum was with Dave Grohl at Wimbledon months before the baby bombshell:

Blum made a rare appearance alongside her husband at the Wimbledon tennis tournament in July 2024, just two months before he dropped the baby bombshell. The couple sat in the Royal Box alongside several A-list celebrities, including former soccer star David Beckham.

They gave no indication during the event that there was trouble in paradise.
