Musician Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters fame is known for his 20-year marriage to Jordyn Blum . The couple has been together since 2003, and they have three daughters. Unfortunately, in September 2024, Grohl revealed that he had another daughter during an affair. Now, we’re looking back at his relationship with his wife, Blum, and why she “never thought” she’d hear from Grohl again after their first few dates.

Dave Grohl’s wife, Jordyn Blum, never thought she’d hear from him again after their first few dates

Dave Grohl is one of the most iconic modern rockers still active today. He started his music career at age 15 as the guitarist and drummer for the punk band Freak Baby. Grohl later auditioned for Nirvana and became the band’s drummer. After Kurt Cobain’s death , he went his own way and formed the Foo Fighters, who are still celebrating great success.

Grohl has plenty of stories regarding his life as a rock star. However, when it comes to his personal life, he and his wife of 20 years, Jordyn Blum, keep their marriage relatively private. Grohl and the former model, producer, and director tied the knot in 2003 and have three daughters together. Blum often makes public appearances with Grohl. They appear to have had a loving and successful marriage through the years.

In a 2007 interview with Elle , Grohl admitted he wasn’t ready for a “serious relationship” when he met Blum.

“Gee whiz. 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,” he said. “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.'”

In an interview with Q Magazine , Grohl explained how he met Blum at a bar in 2001. He didn’t think he had a chance with her because of her beauty. “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. “So she gave me her number: ‘Jordyn, your future ex-wife.’ We saw each other a few times.”

“I was 25; my wife was even younger,” Grohl said in 1999, according to NME . “We weren’t ready to get married. I miss her a ton; she’s the funniest godd*** weirdo you ever met in your life. Absolutely adorable. It would have been better had we not got married. But you live, and you learn.”
