Dave Grohl BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Dave Grohl has rarely left the headlines over the past few days, and if you thought the rock-and-roll life took a break in middle age, his latest chapters might change your mind. The biggest shock landed when Grohl confirmed via social media that he fathered a baby girl with another woman outside his marriage to Jordyn Blum, prompting a media frenzy and endless speculation about the future of the Grohls. He made the confession himself on September 10, and almost immediately the Internet was ablaze with commentary, fan reactions, and hot takes. As reported by People and OK Magazine, Dave wrote that he planned to be a loving and supportive parent to his new daughter and is doing everything to regain his wife’s trust. Blum, reportedly blindsided, initially considered divorce, but sources now say the couple is staying together for their children and working through it in therapy, though the marriage remains under strain. Their family outings have been closely watched, and both were seen without wedding bands for weeks until, more recently, Grohl was reported to have stopped working with a divorce attorney, signaling a glimmer of marital reconciliation.

On the career front, Dave made a significant and emotional public appearance at a star-studded Chevy Metal concert in Agoura Hills on August 31, honoring his late friend and bandmate Taylor Hawkins. According to Ultimate Classic Rock, Grohl joined former bandmates and a slate of rock luminaries, including Gene Simmons and members of Anthrax and The Cars, for a raucous set celebrating both Hawkins’ memory and the band’s resilient spirit. Video clips of Grohl on stage have soared across social media, providing fans with cathartic nostalgia and reminder of his evergreen magnetism on the mic and drums.

The Foo Fighters also marked the 30th anniversary of their 1995 debut album with a surprise single "Today’s Song"—a roaring anthem that Grohl described on their website as both a tribute to his own journey and a loving memorial to Hawkins. Outlets like Entertainment Weekly highlighted both the single’s emotional weight and Grohl’s poignant note to fans, underscoring that, despite heartbreak, life and music march on.

Meanwhile, Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture made waves of its own by announcing the imminent closure of its iconic Nirvana exhibit. Fan backlash was swift and fierce, as reported by Digital Music News, given Grohl’s central place in Nirvana’s legacy and the city’s music history. Instagram posts documenting the blowback only reinforced Grohl’s enduring fanbase and the staying power of his formative years with Nirvana.

On social media, activity has been frenetic. Violet Grohl, Dave’s daughter, made a cryptic return to Instagram, fueling speculation about the Grohl family’s mood behind closed doors. The family’s privacy, per Dave’s statement, remains paramount, but the digital sphere refuses to pause.

All told, in just a matter of days, Grohl has weathered storms both personal and professional, all as Foo Fighters’ lineup shifts again—longtime Nine Inch Nails drummer Ilan Rubin was announced as the band’s new member after the departure of Josh Freese, which Grohl addressed with gratitude for past bandmates. As Rolling Stone and other reliable outlets have observed, whatever Grohl’s future holds, he remains one of music’s most durable storytellers, still writing his story one headline—and one heartbreak—at a time.
