Dave Grohl Hired Divorce Lawyer Before Announcing Birth Of Child Outside Marriage; Here’s What We Know

As a long-time fan and admirer of Dave Grohl, I find myself both surprised and saddened by the recent news about his family life. The man who has always seemed to me as the epitome of family values and dedication, now finds himself in uncharted waters.


On September 10, Dave Grohl, lead singer of Foo Fighters, disclosed that he had become a father to a new baby girl, born outside his 21-year union with Jordyn Blum. He shared this news on Instagram, stating, “I’ve just become the dad of a brand-new baby daughter, born outside my marriage. I aspire to be a nurturing and involved parent to her. I deeply care for my wife and kids, and I am making every effort to win back their trust and seek their forgiveness.

Grohl and Blum have been married since 2003, and they have three daughters: Violet (aged 18), Harper (15 years old), and Ophelia (ten years of age). Many find it surprising that Grohl made this announcement, given his well-known status as a family man. Nevertheless, the musician emphasized his commitment to his family by stating, “We appreciate your understanding and kindness towards all the children as we proceed together.

Based on information from an unnamed source who spoke to PEOPLE, it was revealed that Grohl had already consulted a divorce attorney prior to announcing the arrival of his new daughter. The source did not provide further details about potential divorce proceedings between Grohl and Blum, but the involvement of a lawyer implies that the couple may be facing challenging circumstances.

A spokesperson for Grohl hasn’t provided more details upon request. At this moment, there’s no official word on the state of their relationship, nor any confirmation that they’ve decided to part ways publicly.

After Grohl made his announcement, it appears that Violet, the oldest daughter of the couple, chose to disable her Instagram account. The exact time she decided to shut down the account isn’t known, but it was inactive as of Wednesday morning. Violet has often shared the stage with her father and they have a reportedly strong bond.

Krist Novoselic’s bandmate Dave Grohl has kept quiet about the identity of his baby girl’s mother, and no additional details regarding the circumstances have been disclosed publicly. In light of this development, both fans and journalists are honoring Grohl’s wish for privacy as he navigates this personal milestone with his family.

Dave Grohl and Jordyn Blum initially crossed paths in 2001 when she was a producer for MTV. They tied the knot on August 2, 2003, surrounded by notable figures like music executive Clive Davis and Grohl’s ex-bandmate from Nirvana, Krist Novoselic. In an interview with Teen People in 2003, Dave Grohl expressed that Blum was the first person he had ever been completely open with, and now he feels he has nothing left to conceal.

Throughout their married life, Grohl and Blum have not only been partners but have also collaborated extensively on various projects. Blum contributed to the Foo Fighters’ 2002 music video for “Walk a Line” by co-directing it, and she appeared in the band’s 2011 video for “White Limo.” Furthermore, Grohl has acknowledged that Blum was an inspiration behind songs like “Statues” and “Burn Away.
