Dave Grohl, the frontman of Foo Fighters, announced on Tuesday that he has welcomed a baby girl from a relationship outside his marriage to Jordyn Blum. Grohl, 55, shared the news via a brief Instagram post on September 10, stating, “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage.”
He expressed his commitment to being a loving and supportive parent to his new daughter, while also emphasizing his love for his wife and their three children. Grohl mentioned his intention to regain their trust and seek their forgiveness as they navigate this new chapter, requesting consideration for all the children involved.

Grohl has typically been private about his relationship with Blum, though the couple frequently attends public events together. Reflecting on their early romance, he recounted in a 2007 interview how he initially stopped calling her after a few dates, which led Blum to believe she would never hear from him again. After three months, he contacted her again, leading to a more serious relationship.
Grohl humorously noted that Blum’s biggest pet peeve might be his hearing impairment, stating, “Any woman who’s going to date a rock musician has to be prepared to repeat herself every 10 seconds.”
Blum has influenced several Foo Fighters songs over the years, including “Burn Away” from the band’s album “One By One,” which Grohl described as a romantic ballad inspired by his feelings for her. He also revealed that the track “Statues” from “Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace” was about their relationship. Blum even appeared in the music video for the band’s 2011 single, “White Limo.”
The couple often makes public appearances, including a recent outing at the 2023 Grammys with their daughters, showcasing their family time in the spotlight. In July, they were spotted at Wimbledon, dressed for the occasion.
