In September 2024, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl admitted to fathering a daughter outside of his 21-year marriage to Jordyn Blum.
Identity of the Mother
The mother of the child was identified in February 2025 as Jennifer Young, a 38-year-old rock music enthusiast and former horror movie producer.
Background: Born in Florida and currently residing in Los Angeles, Young has a master’s degree from UCLA and has worked as an assistant to Justin Theroux.
The Child: Their daughter was born on August 1, 2024. According to official records, the child carries the Grohl last name.
Relationship Status: Reports indicate Young and Grohl met around 2021 and had an “on and off” relationship for years. Young has stated she is protecting the child’s identity from “angry fans” but declined to comment on the extent of Grohl’s current involvement in the child’s life.
Impact on Grohl’s Marriage
The revelation caused immediate turmoil within Grohl’s family, including his three older daughters with Blum: Violet, Harper, and Ophelia.
Reconciliation Efforts: Although Blum was reportedly “distraught” and initially considered divorce, by September 2025, sources indicated the couple had reconciled and were “very happy” after working through the betrayal.
Public Appearances: Grohl and Blum have been seen together at high-profile events in 2025, including a Wimbledon tennis match in July and concerts by Supergrass and Oasis in September.
Addressing Misinformation
Shortly after Grohl’s initial announcement in 2024, an Instagram user under the handle @valeriegreyston falsely claimed to be the mother and posted a photo of a baby named “Roxie Junie Grohl”. Grohl’s representatives quickly debunked the post as fake.
