Dave Grohl’s mother Virginia’s warning about rocker’s love life reemerges after he admits to cheating on his wife and fathering secret love child

Dave Grohl's mother Virginia's warning about rocker's love life reemerges after he admits to cheating on his wife and fathering secret love child

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I find myself deeply moved by Dave Grohl’s recent confession about fathering a secret love child and his commitment to making amends. His journey serves as a stark reminder that even those who seem to have it all – fame, fortune, and a seemingly perfect family – can still make mistakes and face the consequences.


Dave Grohl’s fans experienced a surprising revelation on Tuesday as he confessed to infidelity, having a child outside of marriage with someone other than his wife.

55-year-old lead singer of the Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl, publicly apologized to his wife, Jordyn Blum, whom he has been married to for 21 years, and their three children. He expressed his commitment to rebuild their trust and seek their forgiveness.

With fans still in shock over the latest news, a resurfaced interview featuring Dave Grohl’s late mother, Virginia, has been unearthed where she candidly shared her concerns about his romantic relationships.

In an interview with The Guardian back in 2017, Virginia (who passed away in 2022) admitted that her primary concern for her son wasn’t about him falling into the traps of a rock and roll lifestyle, but rather how he would navigate relationships with women.

Looking back at Grohl’s rise to fame during the Nineties, I must confess that I had concerns for the ladies, and it’s a bit cringe-worthy to admit this. My greatest apprehension was that Madonna might sweep him off his feet.

Virginia also touched on Grohl’s status as ‘the nicest man in rock’. 

In her research for a book, the ex-teacher turned author conversed with the mothers of famous musicians and discovered that they placed greater importance on hidden acts of benevolence and goodwill – what could be considered commitments to family or community – rather than platinum records.

She continued by detailing Grohl as a compassionate individual who gives generously (philanthropist), a devoted spouse (steady husband), and an exceptional father to his three daughters (super dad).

Grohl and Blum have daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10, together. 

I can’t help but gush over this fact – every morning, he whips up their breakfast, prepares their lunch, and off he goes to the studio. And yes, it’s true what everyone’s been saying, he’s genuinely as kind as they claim!

The interview has resurfaced after Grohl revealed on Instagram that he had a secret love child.

He has just welcomed a newborn daughter who is not part of his current marriage. Despite this, he intends to be a devoted and caring father for her. He cherishes his wife and his other children, and is making every effort to rebuild trust and seek forgiveness.

He ended by expressing his gratitude for everyone’s thoughtfulness towards all the kids who are part of this journey, as we advance hand-in-hand.

Grohl and Blum met in 2001 and have been married since 2003.

In response to him revealing that he had a child outside of his marriage, his two eldest daughters removed their social media profiles.

After confessing to an affair in 2007 to The Guardian, he later admitted that he had been unfaithful to his first wife, Jennifer Leigh Youngblood as well.

The two married in 1994 but had separated by 1996, and they divorced the following year. 

During the same interview with The Guardon, Grohl mentioned that his wife, Jordyn, and daughter, Violet, serve as anchors that prevent him from totally vanishing.

Speaking to TIME in 2012, he said his family ‘changed everything that I do.’

He added: ‘It’s changed everything that I do. When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It’s inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting.’

It’s not widely disclosed about Blum, but it’s been reported that she once graced the cover of Teen magazine, following her discovery at a supermarket when she was just 12 years old.

She was reportedly working as a producer at MTV when she met the frontman.

In an interview with Elle in 2007, Grohl admitted that he wasn’t prepared for a committed relationship when he initially encountered Blum, and their interactions dwindled after a handful of dates.

As an ardent admirer, three months had passed since our last encounter, and I found myself in a moment of epiphany. I seized the opportunity to reach out, my fingers trembling as they dialed her number. The familiar ringing echoed in my ears, and finally, she answered, her voice filled with surprise. “Oh, it’s been a while since we talked,” she said, a hint of disbelief in her tone. But for me, it felt like an eternity; every day without speaking to her was a day I yearned for our conversation to resume.

On several occasions, Blum has teamed up with the Foo Fighters, one of which was for their 2002 music video ‘White Limo’, in which she made a cameo appearance.

She also co-directed the Foo Fighters 2002 Walking a Line music video.
