Dave Grohl and his wife, Jordyn Blum, are continuing their marriage one year after the Foo Fighters frontman announced he had fathered a child outside the marriage, a source told People.
The source said Blum has "forgiven" Grohl and that the couple are "very happy." "They never wanted a divorce though — the idea of splitting up their family was too sad for both of them. They love their girls and they're both great parents," the source added.
Grohl, 56, and Blum, who married in 2003, share three daughters. In September 2024, Grohl announced that he had welcomed a baby girl outside of his marriage. In February 2025, media reports identified the mother as Jennifer Young, described in reporting as a Florida-born fan of rock music.
The People account of the couple's status was summarized in a Daily Mail report that said the pair are moving forward together. Daily Mail said it reached out to Grohl's representative for comment.
The revelation of the extra-marital child prompted widespread media coverage and public interest in the family’s response. Sources close to the couple have repeatedly emphasized their focus on parenting and maintaining stability for their children. Public statements from Grohl and Blum since the initial announcement have been limited.
Grohl, a founding member and frontman of the rock band Foo Fighters, has had a long public career in music, previously known as the drummer for Nirvana. Blum has largely remained out of the public eye, and the family has typically sought to keep personal matters private.
The timeline of reporting began with Grohl’s announcement in September 2024 that he had fathered a child outside his marriage. Subsequent reporting in early 2025 identified the child's mother. One year after the announcement, the account provided to People indicates the marriage has endured and the family has chosen not to pursue divorce.
Representatives for the parties involved did not immediately provide statements to media outlets following the People report. The couple’s choice to remain together follows the widely shared rationale that preserving the family unit and prioritizing their daughters’ well-being were decisive factors.
No legal filings or public statements altering the couple’s marital status have been reported since the initial announcement and the later identification of the child’s mother. Coverage of the situation has continued in entertainment and tabloid outlets as details have emerged over the past year.
