Grohl Met Blum In 2001 While He Was Playing Wingman For Taylor Hawkins
The love story of Jordyn Blum and Dave Grohl started in 2001. As Dave Grohl shared in an interview with Q Magazine, Blum went to the Sunset Marquis whiskey bar in Hollywood with a friend. Her friend quickly connected with Taylor Hawkins, who was Grohl’s bandmate, while Blum found herself drawn to Grohl.
According to the musician, he thought he didn’t stand a chance with Blum. He recalled, “So I’m just having some drinks and behaving foolishly. And by the end of the night, I was quite drunk, and I was looking at her, saying, ‘You’re going to be my ex-wife someday.'” Grohl shared that Blum gave him her phone number with a playful comment, “Jordyn, your future ex-wife.” They went on to see each other a few times after that.
It seems that Grohl and Blum drifted apart because Grohl felt he wasn’t prepared for a committed relationship at that time. However, shortly after their significant encounter, Taylor Hawkins experienced a drug overdose. In response, Grohl hurried to be with Hawkins and stood by his side as his friend and bandmate faced life-threatening situations when his heart stopped beating twice.
After Hawkins’s recovery, the experience served as a turning point for Grohl, prompting him to take his relationship with Blum more seriously. He contacted her, and she expressed surprise at hearing from him. They went to a nearby restaurant, and from that moment, their relationship deepened.

In 2006, Grohl and Blum embraced parenthood with the birth of their daughter, Violet Maye. Then, three years later, they extended their family with the arrival of another daughter named Harper Willow. Finally, five years after that, they had their third daughter, named Ophelia Saint.
As per Grohl’s interview with PBS NewsHour, his daughters are strongly inclined to pursue careers in music, mirroring his own path. He mentioned, “In my home, I’ve got an entire rock band, and they are all females.”
Grohl mentioned during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres that he actively participates in parenting his children.
On Ellen DeGeneres’ show, Grohl described his daily routine, which commences at approximately 5:45 in the morning. He mentioned that he starts by taking a shower, getting himself ready, and then wakes up his children. Additionally, he prepares snack packs for them.

Blum Directed The Music Video For ‘Walking A Line’ In 2002
“At the age of 17, Blum began her modeling career, and she was said to have appeared on the cover of Teen Magazine. In a 1994 profile of her, her favorite bands were listed, and one of them was the iconic Nirvana,” as reported by WeGotThisCovered.com. FeelNumb.com found and shared details from the 1994 edition where this information was discovered.
“Blum enjoyed a steady career in modeling for several years. In the early 2000s, she was featured in an Italian chewing gum commercial. Dave Grohl mentioned in his interview with Q Magazine that he happened to see this commercial shortly after Taylor Hawkins’ overdose and recognized Blum in it. He believes this sighting was a catalyst for him to reconnect with her,” as reported in the interview.
“Yet, Blum didn’t remain in the modeling field indefinitely. As per the information provided by Q Magazine, she eventually transitioned her career and took on the role of a producer at MTV.”
“It’s not clear exactly when she departed from her role at the channel, but her experience there was evidently valuable. In 2002, Blum showcased her talents by directing the music video for the Foo Fighters’ track ‘Walking a Line,’ as listed on IMDb.”
“It’s evident that Blum had a deep-seated passion for alternative rock music even before she crossed paths with Grohl, which may have played a role in bringing them closer during the early days of their relationship. However, their enduring commitment to each other is undoubtedly the cornerstone of their nearly two-decade-long relationship.”
