Dave Grohl and Jordyn Blum’s Public Move Amid Marriage Strain After Love Child Scandal

Dave Grohl and wife Jordyn Blum made a major public move this week amid their fractured marriage, nine months after he fathered a child outside of their marriage.

The Foo Fighters frontman, 56, welcomed a baby girl with Jennifer Young, a 38-year-old LA-based, Florida-born rock-and-roll fan in August – leading him to post a public mea culpa admitting his affair the following month.

However after it emerged the pair were working on their marriage, Grohl and Blum gave the biggest sign yet they were on the right track as they were seen enjoying a family dinner with their three daughters for her 49th birthday.

This marked the first time the family had been seen together after his affair bombshell.

Grohl and Blum looked happy and relaxed as they chatted after the event, with their  daughters standing close by. Both were without their wedding rings.

After he and Blum were spotted out together recently, a source told US Weekly in March the couple are giving their 22 year marriage another go.

They said: ‘Jordyn has forgiven Dave and is trying to move on. She is [still] completely devastated by the situation but is standing by his side.

‘They are going to counseling, and Dave has been doing anything he can to win back Jordyn’s trust. Neither of them wants the family broken.’

DailyMail.com contacted representatives for further comment. 

In February the mother of Dave’s lovechild was finally revealed.

Young was confirmed to be the mother of his child he fathered out of wedlock, Page Six reported.  

Jennifer also confirmed to the outlet that her baby was born on August 1, 2024, and she said Dave’s last name is listed on the birth certificate.

Jennifer did not want to reveal their daughter’s name, telling the outlet ‘because there’s some really angry fans,’ adding that ‘protecting her identity is really important.’

She lives with her mother in Los Angeles, and often takes their daughter for walks in their neighborhood.

On September 10 2024, Dave took to his social media to announce in a statement that he had welcomed a daughter while vowing to try to ‘regain [the] trust’ of his wife and their daughters

Jennifer sports a number of tattoos – including ones featuring Paul McCartney lyrics and the rock band Metallica’s band logo. 

She reportedly visited New York City over Valentine’s weekend — the same weekend Dave was in the Big Apple for the Saturday Night Live 50 years anniversary special — however, Page Six reported that it is unknown if they met up. 

It is also unclear how they first met. 

Page Six noted that she does not have a public social media account and her current occupation is also unknown.

However, she has dabbled in writing in the past and helped co-create the Cannibal comic book series where she is credited as one of the writers, per League Of Comic Geeks.  

Young also attended UCLA and received her Master’s degree in the university’s Producers Program.

Back in 2021, she opened up about her passion for ‘storytelling’ during an interview with Voyage LA. 

‘I wrote a comic book that was published with Image Comics and turned it into a pilot that is currently in development,’ she said at the time, while also discussing her love for the horror genre. 

Jennifer eventually went on to work on Eli Roth’s History Of Horror series (2018-2021) for AMC as an assistant to the showrunner and was later promoted to an associate producer. 

‘I’ve never had more fun working on a project in my entire life and I was fortunate enough to work on another season of that show,’ she shared. 

Jennifer also expressed to the outlet, ‘I assist Directors and Producers in the development and production of film and television.’ 

She also enjoys, ‘making some short films and writing my own scripts that I would like to direct — hoping that all this shadowing will put me in the right position for the job.’ 

She was pictured by Page Six taking her baby for a stroll, with the child wearing a cranial helmet with rock band stickers on it for artists including Led Zepplin, Metallica and Elvis Presley.

A cranial helmet is used when a baby’s skull shape has to be corrected. 

In October 2024, a People magazine insider noted that the whole situation has been ‘rough’ for Jordyn.

Jordyn and Dave share daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10; seen with his family on February 5, 2023 in LA – with their brood set to a motivator in reconciling

‘Her mind is not on her marriage though,’ they added. ‘She doesn’t trust Dave. She’s not wearing her wedding ring.’

Adding that Jordyn is ‘focused on her own life and her girls.’ 

A source told People magazine in November 2024 that the rocker is focused on working things out with her and their daughters, and that divorce is off the table.

The source said: ‘He’s no longer working with a divorce attorney and instead hoping to work things out with his wife.’

Another insider said that he ‘loves his family,’ noting that he has ‘been prioritizing his family. He knows he messed up. It’s one of those situations where you don’t realize what you have done until you’re about to lose it. He doesn’t want to lose his family.’

Multiple sources have claimed that Jordyn has known about the baby ‘for a while,’ and said she is a ‘great mom and very dedicated to their daughters.’

Jordyn and Dave shared daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.

Dave and Jordyn were seen together in February for the first time since his shocking cheating and baby news. 

They were seen in the car together, after Jordyn picked him up from an LA area home. Neither appeared to be wearing wedding rings at the time.
