Dave Grohl, 55, has told the public that he is trying to regain the trust of his wife, Jordyn Blum, and their three daughters Violet, Harper and Ophelia, after he admitted to fathering a baby girl outside of his marriage.
The Foo Fighters frontman took to social media on Tuesday, 10th September, to share the shocking revelation that he was unfaithful to his wife, saying that he is working to "earn the forgiveness" of his family while also planning to be a "loving and supportive parent" to his new daughter.
Dave first met his wife Jordyn Blum in 2001, and two years later the pair tied the knot in a private ceremony held in their LA home before welcoming the first of their three daughters, Violet, in 2006.
From his marriage to his kids, and the recent revelation, here's everything you need to know about Dave Grohl's family.
Who is Dave Grohl's wife Jordyn Blum?
Dave Grohl's wife is Jordyn Blum, a 48-year-old former model and TV producer and mother to their three daughters; Violet, Harper and Ophelia.
The rocker first met Jordyn in 2001 at Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar and they started dating. Dave has admitted, however, that he did call the romance off at the beginning due to "not being ready" to be in a "serious relationship."
In 2007, Dave told ELLE: "When I first met my wife, we went out on a few dates and I decided that I wasn't ready for a serious relationship, so I just stopped calling. After three months, I had a revelation and called her back. She picked up the phone and said, 'Oh, I never thought I'd hear from you again'."
Dave and Jordyn got married on 2nd August 2003 in a private ceremony held in their Los Angeles home and went on to welcome their first daughter three years later.
While Jordyn keeps out of the spotlight in general, she will often join Dave at award shows and, more recently, at Wimbledon 2024 where they sat in the Royal Box.

On 17th April 2009, Dave and Jordyn welcomed their second daughter, Harper Willow Grohl, who was named after his great uncle Harper Bonebrake.
