Everything You Need to Know About Dave Grohl's Tangled Family Life Amid Lovechild Scandal — From Wife and Kids to Fourth Child and Mistress
Jordyn Blum
Foo Fighters rocker Dave Grohl met his wife, Jordyn Blum, at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in Los Angeles, Calif., in 2001. Two years later, the pair tied the knot and began expanding their family.
Before Blum, Grohl was married to Jennifer Youngblood from 1994 to 1997. They called it quits after the musician admitted to cheating on his then-spouse.
Reflecting on his relationship with Blum, Grohl said he initially ghosted her because he "was not ready for a serious relationship."
He recalled in a 2007 interview with 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.'"
Violet Maye Grohl
Dave and Jordyn welcomed their first daughter, Violet Maye Grohl, on April 15, 2006, three years after walking down the aisle.
A few months later, the 55-year-old "Play" singer opened up about his fatherhood journey.
He told People in 2007: "We don't talk about how much we drank last night [anymore].
"[Now] it's how much sleep we got, how much sleep the baby got, diaper rash, formula. We used to go on the road for three months at a time. It's a struggle for me to leave for even 12 days. I realized the life I always imagined beginning once the band ended has to begin now."
Dave and Violet notably shared the stage and sang Adele's When We Were Young at a 2018 benefit for the UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals. They also made a cover of X's 1980 song Nausea in 2021, marking the first time they recorded together.
Grohl said: "I'm so proud of it because I love her very much and she's an amazing singer, but it kind of follows this lineage and family history from this guy in Switzerland to now my daughter Violet. It's this Bonebrake family tree that means a lot to me."
They had their latest collaboration at the 2023 Glastonbury Festival.
Harper Willow Grohl
In 2009, Jordyn gave birth to her and Dave's second child.
Harper Willow Grohl was "7 pounds, 8 ounces, 20 inches long and loud as h---," the statement from the couple read.
Like Violet, Harper has also been exploring her musical interests since receiving her first piano lesson from Paul McCartney when she was 5 years old.
She also joined her father and sister at the 2018 benefit concert and played the drums for the acoustic rendition of The Sky Is a Neighborhood.

Dave Grohl’s Mistress and Mystery Child
On September 10, Dave released a statement on Instagram in which he confirmed he fathered his fourth child outside his marriage to Jordyn.
Grohl wrote: "I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.
"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."
He did not disclose details about his mistress and their child.
