Dave Grohl threw a monkey wrench in his relationship with his wife, Jordyn Blum, years before he put a ring on it.
The Foo Fighters frontman, 55, ghosted Blum after a few dates until his late bandmate Taylor Hawkins’ 2001 overdose convinced him to settle down.
It’s the latest unearthed revelation following Grohl’s brutal admission that he cheated on Blum and has welcomed a daughter with another woman.
“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” Grohl shared in a statement via Instagram on Tuesday.
In a drudged-up interview with Q magazine, Grohl revealed he stopped calling Blum after only a few dates.
Taylor [Hawkins] and I were hanging out at the Sunset Marquis whiskey bar.
And then we were in London [in August 2001, before the V festival] and Taylor wound up in hospital.
All of a sudden I think, ‘That’s that girl Jordyn, that’s that chick!’ Grohl told Q.
And that was that.” Grohl and Blum married in August 2003 at their L.A. home.
Their oldest child has deactivated her Instagram account since her dad came clean about his affair and baby scandal.
Years before he ever proposed to Jordyn Blum, Dave Grohl threw a monkey wrench in their union.
Until his late bandmate Taylor Hawkins’ 2001 overdose persuaded him to settle down, the 55-year-old frontman of Foo Fighters ghosted Blum after a few dates. After overdosing fatally in 2022 at the age of 50, Hawkins sadly passed away more than 20 years later.
This is the most recent information to surface after Grohl’s shocking admission that he cheated on Blum and had a daughter with someone else.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Grohl said, “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage.”. “I want to provide her with a caring and encouraging home.”. I’m doing everything in my power to win back my wife’s and my kids’ trust and forgiveness because I adore them. “.
“As we proceed together, we appreciate your thoughtfulness toward each and every child involved,” he said in closing.
The Post was informed by Grohl’s agent that the musician had no further comments.
Although Grohl, 48, Blum, 48, and their three kids, Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10, seem to be a cohesive unit amidst the baby news, the musician wasn’t always in favor of being a family man.
Following just a few dates, Grohl disclosed in a drudged-up interview with Q magazine that he had given up on Blum.
“One evening in 2001, I got to know Jordyn.”. I was hanging out at the Sunset Marquis whiskey bar with Taylor Hawkins. The one observing was Taylor. Girls would send him drinks, after all. A bombshell appears and initiates conversation with Taylor. Just now, I had finished a session with Tenacious D. “I’m surrounded by gorgeous Hollywood, wearing Vans trainers, no socks, dirty shorts, and a dirty T-shirt,” Growl revealed to the publication.
She gestured to Jordyn, a friend. “Oh my God,” I thought to myself. Not a chance!’ So I’m just acting like a jackass while sipping some drinks. Towards the end of the evening, he laughed, “I was mad and I was staring at her like, ‘You’re my future ex-wife.'”. “Jordyn, your future ex-wife,” she said, giving me her number. “”.
Despite acknowledging that they “saw each other a few times” following the encounter, Grohl, the former drummer for Nirvana, claimed he “backed out” as soon as he realized she was game. “.
Grohl said, “No, because I wasn’t ready for the flag,” in response to the question of whether it was because he was “burned” by his first marriage, which ended in divorce in 1997. Grohl had married photographer Jennifer Youngblood in 1994. After that, in August 2001, while we were in London ahead of the V festival, Taylor ended up in the hospital. He overdosed after using drugs. “.
He stated to Elle in 2007 that he “just stopped calling” because he wasn’t ready for a committed partnership. “.
Grohl claimed that when Hawkins returned to his hotel room after his overdose in 2001, he recognized the face on his TV. Hawkins had been released from the hospital.
“I was watching snooker or something when this chewing gum commercial with the girl picking pockets in the subway came on.”. I thought, ‘That’s that girl, Jordyn, that chick!'” Grohl exclaimed to Q. And over the next few days, I begin to have these settling-down dreams—dreams about that life I’d been contemplating. “.
The artist claimed that in just two weeks, his life “changed forever.”. “.
“I told myself, ‘It’s not worth waiting for another minute, because life is too damn short, man. It’s too sensitive,” he said. “When I called her the day we arrived home, she said, ‘Wow, I never thought I’d hear from you again.'”. I then brought her to the eatery that is located directly next door. And that concluded things. “.
August 2003 saw the marriage of Blum and Grohl at their L. A. domicile. With her father’s admission of his affair and the ensuing baby scandal, their eldest child deleted her Instagram account.
