Dave Grohl’s Wife, Kids & Family: What to Know

  • Dave Grohl met his wife, former model Jordyn Blum, over 20 years ago in 2001.
  • They got married in 2003 and have since had three children.
  • Grohl and Blum have three daughters: Violet, Harper and Ophelia.

Dave Grohl defied rock star stereotypes in a big way 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, I went on a few dates and decided I wasn’t ready for a serious relationship, so I stopped calling,” Grohl later told Elle. “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.”

The two married in 2003 at their home in Los Angeles. The wedding was attended by music industry friends including producer Clive Davis and Grohl’s former bandmate Krist Novoselic.

During their two-decade relationship, Blum 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 me and my wife,” Grohl told GQ of the latter. “To me, there is nothing more beautiful than seeing the gravestones of a husband and wife side by side in a cemetery.”

Blum even collaborated with her husband on his musical projects. She co-directed the 2002 music video for “Walking a Line” and appeared in the video for the 2011 single “White Limo”.

The couple had three more children, all daughters: Violet, born in 2006; Harper, born 2009; and Ophelia, born in 2014.

Grohl and Blum have kept their family life private throughout their marriage, although all five members walked the red carpet together at the 2023 Grammy Awards.

On Tuesday, Grohl announced that he is going to be a father to his fourth daughter, “born out of wedlock.”

“I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her,” Grohl wrote on social media. “I love my wife and children and I’m doing everything I can to win back their trust and earn their forgiveness. Thank you for your consideration of all the children involved as we move forward together.”
