Rock Star's Redemption: Dave Grohl and Jordyn Blum Shine on Red Carpet
FOO FIGHTER'S SECRET BABY SCANDAL: DAVE GROHL AND WIFE JORDYN BLUM PUT ON A UNITED FRONT AT CHARITY GALA
In a bold move, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and his wife Jordyn Blum stepped out together on the red carpet for the first time since the bombshell news of his secret love child broke last September. The rocker's confirmation that he had fathered a baby with another woman, rock and roll fan Jennifer Young, sent shockwaves through the celebrity world.
But it seems like Dave, 56, is ready to put the scandal behind him and focus on his family. On Saturday night, he and Jordyn, 49, attended the Hope The Mission and Los Angeles Mission Present Hope in The City of Angels charity gala at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. The event was a chance for the couple to show that they're still standing strong despite the drama.
As they walked the red carpet together, Dave flashed a charismatic smile as he wrapped his arm around Jordyn's waist. He looked dashing in a black blazer with a satin lapel, black trousers, and smart shoes that screamed "rockstar chic." But it was Jordyn who truly stole the show in her long-sleeved black dress with a black belt and diamond-encrusted buckle. Her sheer tights and chunky black platform heels added a touch of glamour to her overall look.
The couple's marriage has been put to the test since news of Dave's secret baby broke, but it seems like they're working hard to keep their relationship intact. In September 2024, Dave confirmed that he had become the father of a new baby girl born outside of his marriage. He took to social media to address the scandal, saying, "I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her."
But what's even more interesting is that Dave's last name is listed on the birth certificate, meaning he's fully acknowledging his role as the child's father. The mother of the baby girl, Jennifer Young, has kept their daughter's identity private, citing fears of angry fans.
Jennifer, a television producer and UCLA graduate with a Master's degree in the Producers Program, works for various projects, including Eli Roth's History of Horror series (2018-2021) for AMC. She opened up about her passion for storytelling during an interview with Voyage LA back in 2021, saying she had written a comic book that was published with Image Comics and turned it into a pilot currently in development.
It seems like Jennifer is trying to keep a low profile since the scandal broke, but her work has kept her in the public eye. She's often spotted taking their daughter for walks in their Los Angeles neighborhood with her mother by her side.
Despite the drama, Dave and Jordyn have been seen together in public on several occasions since the news broke. They even attended Wimbledon together in July, marking a major milestone in their relationship. But this weekend's charity gala appearance was the first time they've posed together on a red carpet since the scandal.
The couple has been married since 2003 and shares three daughters together: Violet, 19, Harper, 16, and Ophelia, 11. Their family is still reeling from the news of Dave's secret baby, but it seems like they're all trying to move forward as a united front.
As for now, it's clear that Dave and Jordyn are focused on rebuilding their relationship and putting the scandal behind them. Will this charity gala appearance be the start of a new chapter in their lives? Only time will tell.
