Grohl’s admission comes as a shock, as we expect that he will face significant challenges in regaining the trust of Jordyn Blum, 48, whom he has been married to since 2003. The couple shares three daughters: Violet, Harper, and Ophelia.

This is Grohl’s second marriage; he was previously married to Jennifer Youngblood before tying the knot with Blum. The couple met at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in 2001.
Blum, a former model, has inspired Grohl in many ways, including through his music. He wrote a song titled “Statues” in her honor, explaining to GQ, “That song is about my wife and me. To me, there’s nothing more beautiful than seeing the headstones of a husband and wife side by side in a graveyard.”
Despite Grohl’s public declarations of love for Blum and their children, this revelation about his new baby daughter is likely to stir up considerable tension. As of now, the identity of the child’s mother remains undisclosed, and Grohl’s statement is the only official comment available. He also deactivated the comments in the post.
How Did Jordyn Blum and Dave Grohl Meet?
From a 2007 Q Magazine interview on how they met: “I met Jordyn one night in 2001. Taylor and I were hanging out at the Sunset Marquis whiskey bar. Taylor was the looker. I mean, girls would send him drinks. Some bombshell comes up and starts talking to Taylor. I was just out of a Tenacious D session. I’ve got Vans trainers on, no socks, dirty shorts and a dirty T-shirt, surrounded by beautiful Hollywood. She waved her friend Jordyn over. I was like, “Oh my God. Not a chance!” So I’m just having some drinks and acting like a jackass. And by the end of the night I was pissed and I’m staring at her going, “You’re my future ex-wife.”
He said Jordyn gave him her number and wrote ‘Jordyn, your future ex-wife.” We saw each other a few times. But I realised that this was the flag, the finish line and I’m like, “Oh, wait a minute.” So I backed out. […] I wasn’t ready for the flag. And then we were in London [in August 2001, before the V festival] and Taylor wound up in hospital. He did some drugs and OD’ed. […] So there were a couple of weeks in London where I went to the hospital every day from fucking noon to midnight and I would sit with him. The day my daughter was born was the happiest day of my life. But up until then the day Taylor came out of it was hands-down the greatest day of my life. […] Anyway, Taylor came out of it and looked at me and said, “Fuck you!” I went back to my hotel and I was still scared because I was afraid to feel too good.
He said he was watching TV when a commercial for chewing gum appeared.
“That’s that girl Jordyn, that’s that chick!” He said. “And over the course of the next few days I start having these dreams about that life that I’d been thinking about, settling-down dreams. In those two weeks, I changed forever”.
He finished by saying: The day we got home I called her up and she said, “Wow, I never thought I’d hear from you again.” So I took her to a restaurant right next door to here. And that was that.”
