- Dave Grohl met his wife, former model Jordyn Blum, over 20 years ago in 2001.
- They married in 2003 and have since welcomed three children.
- Grohl and Blum share three daughters: Violet, Harper, and Ophelia.
Dave Grohl has largely defied rockstar stereotypes with his long-term marriage to Jordyn Blum.
The Foo Fighters frontman, 55, met Blum, 48, in 2001 at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar on Hollywood’s famous Sunset Strip. Blum, a former model, was working at MTV as a producer at the time, according to Spin.
“When I first met my wife, we went out on a few dates and I decided that I wasn’t ready for a serious relationship, so I just stopped calling,” Grohl later told Elle. “After three months, I had a revelation and called her back. She picked up the phone and said, ‘Oh, I never thought I’d hear from you again.'”
The pair got married in 2003 at their home in Los Angeles. The wedding was reportedly attended by music industry pals like producer Clive Davis and Grohl’s former Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic.

Throughout their two-decade relationship, Blum has since inspired several Foo Fighters tracks, including “Burn Away” (from the band’s 2002 album “One by One”) and “Statues” (from their 2007 album “Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace”).
“That song is about my wife and me,” Grohl told GQ of the latter. “To me, there’s nothing more beautiful than seeing the headstones of a husband and wife side by side in a graveyard.”
Blum has even collaborated with her husband on his musical projects. She co-directed the 2002 music video for “Walking a Line” and appeared in the music video for the 2011 single “White Limo.”
The couple have also welcomed three children, all daughters: Violet, born in 2006; Harper, born in 2009; and Ophelia, born in 2014.
Grohl and Blum have kept their family life private throughout their marriage, though all five members walked the red carpet together at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
On Tuesday, Grohl announced that he’d become a father to a fourth daughter, “born outside of my marriage.”
“I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her,” Grohl wrote on social media. “I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”
A rep for Grohl did not respond to BI’s request for additional comment.
