Who Are Dave Grohl’s Wife and Kids? Singer Welcomes Child ‘Out of Wedlock’

Foo Fighter singer Dave Grohl is asking for forgiveness from his wife and children via Instagram after sharing the news that he had a daughter out of wedlock.

The 55-year-old didn’t share any details about who the mother of his newborn was, or when she was born, instead posting a text statement to his 1.4 million followers with comments disabled. The full text read:

“I recently became the father of a new baby daughter, born out of wedlock. 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 earn their trust and forgiveness. We are grateful for your attention to all the children involved as we move forward together. Dave.”

Who is Dave Grohl’s wife?

Dave and Jordyn Blum have been married since 2003, when they tied the knot in August at their Los Angeles home. Jordyn, 48, is a former model and the couple met in 2001 when she was a producer at MTV, eventually meeting Dave through work, according to Spin.

Although they kept their relationship relatively private, Dave said ELLE in 2007 about when they first got together. “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 explained. “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.'”

Three years later, in 2009, their second daughter, Harper Willow, was born. Dave shared the news by saying she was “7 lbs. 8 oz., 20 inches long and loud as hell.”

Five years later, they welcomed their third daughter, Ophelia Saint, who was born in August 2014.

The last time the family appeared in public together was at the 2023 Grammy Awards, where they all walked the red carpet in matching outfits.
