Dave Grohl, the lead singer of Foo Fighters, has been in the news recently for a big scandal involving his personal life. This news has not only shocked his fans but also affected his family. To escape the intense attention from the media, Grohl’s daughters have chosen to stay away from social media.
Dave Grohl is famous for his energetic performances and big personality. But this recent news about his personal life has caught everyone off guard.
On September 10, Dave Grohl shared on Instagram that he had recently become the father of a new baby girl. However, this baby was not with his wife, Jordyn Blum.
Grohl admitted that he is facing a tough situation and is working hard to rebuild trust with his family. He expressed his love for his wife and children and said he is doing everything he can to earn their forgiveness.
The news about Dave Grohl’s new baby has had a big impact on his family. His two daughters, Violet, 18, and Harper, 15, have chosen to deactivate their Instagram accounts. They may be stepping back from social media to avoid the intense attention and scrutiny.
Violet had a large following with 225,000 fans under the username “viioletgrohl,” while Harper had over 40,000 followers as “harpergrohll.” As of now, both of their accounts are no longer active.
After Dave Grohl’s announcement about his new baby, fans trying to visit Violet and Harper’s Instagram profiles now see a message saying “page not found.” Violet’s account reportedly went blank just an hour after the announcement, but it’s not clear when Harper’s account was deactivated.
Many fans have taken to social media to voice their disappointment. One user expressed their feelings, saying, “This is really disappointing. I know people aren’t perfect and make mistakes, but it’s just another example of how few people take marriage vows seriously.”
Another commenter criticized the impact of Grohl’s actions on his family, saying, “Now a family is torn apart because of it. No matter what you say, kids are never the same after this.”
Other people were shocked by Grohl’s decision. One user asked, “Imagine a man who has it all – money, fame, a house, a family, and a beautiful wife – and he still betrays her in the worst way.”
Users continued to express their frustration, arguing that Grohl’s claim of love for his wife didn’t match his actions. They pointed out that Grohl’s statement about loving his wife while cheating on her seemed contradictory and insincere.
One user suggested that cheating and having a child outside of his marriage was a deep betrayal. They felt it showed a complete lack of understanding of love and respect for his family.
While many expressed their disappointment, others sympathized with Grohl’s family. One fan shared, “Look at how beautiful his family is. It’s heartbreaking to think he would risk it all for something like this. I hope his wife and daughters can find healing and move forward.”
Grohl and Jordyn Blum have been married for over 20 years. They first met in 2001 at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in Los Angeles. Just two years later, on August 2, 2003, they got married. Together, they have three daughters.
Their eldest daughter, Violet, born in 2006, has shown a strong interest in music, much like her father. During the 2023 Glastonbury Festival, Grohl proudly introduced Violet on stage, calling her his “favorite singer in the world.” He shared that they would perform “Show Me How,” a song he wrote for his mother (Violet’s grandmother), which is featured on their latest album, “But Here We Are.”
As the performance wrapped up, Grohl proudly shouted that Violet was “his girl” and joked about how much he enjoyed being on stage with her, even if he hit a wrong note.
The couple’s family also includes Harper, born in 2009, and 10-year-old Ophelia, born in 2014. Despite recent difficulties, Grohl and Blum had continued to be a visible couple. In July 2024, they were spotted together at the Wimbledon tennis tournament in London, enjoying the event.
Interestingly, this isn’t Dave Grohl’s first marriage. He was previously married to photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood in the ’90s, but they divorced in 1997.
In a 2007 interview with *The Guardian*, Grohl admitted that infidelity was a factor in their breakup. This issue appears to have resurfaced in his current relationship, as highlighted by his recent announcement.
As Dave Grohl and Jordyn Blum navigate this new chapter, their two decades of shared history remind us that even rock legends face the complexities of family and relationships.
On Her 18th Birthday, Girl’s Parents Kicked Her Out Without a Word, 10 Years Later She Gets a Bill from Them — Story of the Day
Claire had spent a decade proving she didn’t need them. She built her life from the ground up, earned her success. But just as she secured the job of her dreams, a letter arrived—a ghost from the past, wrapped in hospital bills. Her parents had abandoned her at eighteen. Now, they wanted something.
The corridor smelled like polished wood and expensive perfume, a scent that carried the weight of power and money.
Claire inhaled deeply, willing her nerves to settle. The smooth marble floor beneath her heels felt cold, solid—nothing like the twisting feeling in her stomach.
She shifted her weight, adjusting the crisp navy blazer she had bought specifically for today. Professional but not stiff. Confident but not arrogant.

She had rehearsed this moment a hundred times in her mind, but now that she was here, the air felt thick, pressing in on her lungs.
A voice sliced through the silence.
“They’re waiting for you.”
Claire turned her head. A woman, mid-fifties, sleek blonde bob, the kind of person who’d been in this building longer than the wallpaper.
Her lips were pursed, her expression unreadable but edged with something close to skepticism.

Claire recognized it instantly. You’re too young.
She gave a curt nod, straightening her back. Not today, lady.
With measured steps, she walked through the towering glass doors into the conference room.
The place oozed money. A heavy mahogany desk dominated the center, sleek leather chairs arranged around it.
The light from the city skyline filtered through massive windows, painting the polished wood in gold and gray.
Three figures sat at the table, waiting.
The man in the middle, silver-haired, sharp-eyed, held up a crisp, printed copy of her résumé.

“Impressive,” he said, his voice smooth, controlled. But then he leaned back slightly, tapping the paper. “But let’s address the elephant in the room.”
Here it comes.
“You’re twenty-eight.” He let the words hang, as if waiting for the weight of them to sink in. “We envisioned this position for someone… more experienced.”
Claire didn’t blink. She had expected this. Rehearsed for it.
She folded her hands neatly on the table, her voice even. “With all due respect, experience isn’t just about time—it’s about mileage.”

The second man, younger but just as skeptical, lifted a brow.
Claire continued, her voice steady.
“Some people took their time. They studied, partied, eased into their careers, knowing they had a safety net. I didn’t have that luxury. I started working at eighteen. I put myself through school, built my career with my own hands. I didn’t wait for life to start. I made it happen.”
She met their gazes one by one, letting her words settle, feeling the pulse of the room shift.
A silence stretched between them. Not the awkward kind—the kind where gears turn.

The woman at the table—sleek bun, smart suit—was the first to smile. Subtle but unmistakable.
Finally, the man in gray stood, smoothing down his jacket. He extended a hand.
“Welcome aboard, Claire.”
She gripped his palm firmly, her pulse steady now.
She had earned this.
Claire pushed open the door to her apartment, laughter bubbling from her lips as she kicked it shut behind her. The day had been long, exhausting, but damn, it had been good. She flung her bag onto the couch and ran a hand through her hair, letting out a deep sigh.

Lisa was already sprawled on the couch, legs tucked under her, a glass of wine in hand. She grinned, lifting her glass in the air like a toast.
“I told you, Claire! That job was yours.”
Claire let out a small chuckle, bending down to unstrap her heels.
“I wouldn’t say it was easy. They practically counted my wrinkles to see if I qualified.”
She tossed the shoes aside, wiggling her toes against the cool wooden floor.
Lisa snorted, shaking her head.

“Their loss if they’d passed on you. But they didn’t, because you’re a damn powerhouse. And now? This salary? You’re officially untouchable.”
Claire leaned against the kitchen counter, grabbing a bottle of water. She twisted the cap off, staring at it for a moment before taking a slow sip.
“Yeah…” she said, voice quieter now. “I just had to grow up fast.”
Lisa tilted her head, watching her. “You don’t regret it, do you?”
Claire forced a smile, shaking her head. “No. Not really.”

Her fingers absently sifted through the pile of mail she had grabbed on her way in. Bills, junk, some real estate flyer. Then—she froze.
A stiff, cream-colored envelope sat among the others, the return address typed in bold black letters.
Her breath hitched.
Lisa frowned, noticing the sudden shift in her expression. “Claire?”
Claire didn’t respond. Her fingers trembled as she turned the envelope over, her eyes locked onto the familiar address.
She hadn’t seen it in a decade.

Lisa sat up straighter, concern creeping into her voice. “Hey, what’s wrong?”
Claire swallowed, forcing out the words. “I never thought I’d see this address again.”
Lisa leaned forward. “Whose is it?”
Claire’s throat felt tight. “My parents’.”
Silence settled between them, thick and unmoving. Lisa’s eyes widened, confusion flashing across her face.
“I haven’t seen them since my eighteenth birthday,” Claire said finally, her voice hollow, distant.
“They woke me up that morning, told me to come downstairs. My bags were packed. Just sitting there. They said I was an adult now. That I had to figure life out on my own.”

Lisa’s jaw slackened. “Claire… that’s—”
“Messed up?” Claire let out a humorless laugh. “Yeah. It was.”
For a long moment, neither of them spoke.
Then, taking a sharp breath, Claire ripped the envelope open.
A single sheet of paper.
Her stomach twisted. Hospital bills.
Tens of thousands.

Her father’s name at the top.
Her pulse roared in her ears. Her hands gripped the letter so tightly her knuckles turned white.
Lisa hesitated before speaking. “What… what does it say?”
Claire’s jaw clenched.
“I swore I’d never go back,” she whispered.
But now?
Now, she had to know why.

The house looked the same. The same peeling white paint, the same crooked mailbox that had leaned slightly to the left since she was a kid.
Even the porch swing, weathered and creaking in the breeze, was still there, swaying as if nothing had changed. But everything had.
Claire stepped out of her car, barely shutting the door before the front door flew open.
“Claire!”

Her mother’s voice rang through the yard, cracked with emotion. She rushed toward her, arms wide, eyes already glistening with tears.
Claire didn’t move. Her mother’s arms wrapped around her shoulders, but she remained stiff, her body rejecting the embrace.
Funny how you want me now.
Her mother pulled back just enough to cup Claire’s face, her fingers trembling. “Sweetheart, you came,” she breathed, her voice thick with relief.

Claire stepped out of her grip, ignoring the warmth in her mother’s eyes. “Where’s Dad?”
A flicker of something crossed her mother’s face—hesitation, unease. Then she forced a small, broken smile. “He’s in the hospital. It’s been… hard.”
Claire scoffed. “Hard?” Her voice sharpened, each syllable slicing through the humid afternoon air.
“You mean like being kicked out at eighteen with nothing but a duffel bag?”
Her mother flinched. She looked down, rubbing her hands together as if she could smooth out the past with the motion. “We knew you’d make it. We wanted you to be strong.”

Claire let out a bitter laugh. “That’s rich. You abandoned me. How do you even know all this!?” The word tasted like metal in her mouth.
Her mother’s lip trembled. “We watched from a distance,” she whispered. “We got an email from your company—we saw your name, your success. We were so proud.”
Claire’s jaw tightened. A slow burn of rage curled in her chest.
“You don’t get to claim pride,” she said, her voice dangerously low. “Why you didn’t call me earlier?”
Her mother reached for her again, but Claire stepped back, her arms folding tightly across her chest.
Her mother dabbed at her eyes, looking smaller now, fragile. “Your father… he wouldn’t let me call you.”

Claire inhaled sharply, pressing her tongue to the roof of her mouth. She wouldn’t let herself feel sorry for this woman. Not now.
“Where is he?”
Her mother hesitated again. Too long.
“They won’t let visitors in,” she said finally. “It’s… a strict facility.”
Claire’s stomach twisted. Something about this didn’t sit right.
“But if you want to help,” her mother continued, “you can pay through the bank.”

There it was.
Claire swallowed hard, studying the woman in front of her. The tears, the shaky voice—it was a well-practiced performance.
And maybe it was true. Maybe her father really was sick.
But she had learned not to trust words.
She’d come this far.
She’d at least make sure the bills were real.
The bank smelled like paper, stale coffee, and something metallic—maybe the scent of money itself..

Claire stepped up to the counter, sliding the paperwork toward the teller, her fingers tapping against the smooth surface.
The woman behind the counter had soft, kind eyes, the type that made people think she was a good listener.
She took the papers, her brow furrowing slightly as she scanned them.
Then, she frowned—a small, almost imperceptible crease forming between her eyebrows.
Claire’s stomach tightened.
The teller glanced up. “This isn’t a hospital account,” she murmured.

Claire’s breath hitched. “Excuse me?”
The teller hesitated, then turned the screen toward her, tilting it just enough for Claire to see.
“This account isn’t registered to a hospital or medical provider. It’s private. The funds would go to an individual.”
Claire’s blood ran cold.
She blinked at the screen, her mind trying to process what she was hearing.
“That’s… that’s not possible,” she said slowly, but even as she spoke, something deep inside her knew the truth.
The teller shook her head. “No mistake.”

Claire felt her pulse in her throat, hot and pounding. The air around her suddenly felt too thick, pressing in.
Her fingers curled into fists.
Of course. Of course, they would do this.
Without another word, she yanked the paperwork back, spun on her heel, and stormed out of the bank.
By the time she reached her car, her hands were shaking. She jammed the key into the ignition.
The tires screeched against the pavement as she pulled out.

If they thought they could play her, they had no idea who she’d become.
Claire didn’t knock. She didn’t hesitate.
She shoved the door open, the old hinges groaning as if the house itself protested her return.
The scent of warm cake and cheap vanilla candles filled the air—so ordinary, so out of place.
Her mother gasped, her fork frozen mid-air, a bite of frosting-laced cake trembling at the tip.
Across the table, her father, alive and well, let out a hearty chuckle—until his eyes met hers. His hand, mid-motion, hovered over a half-eaten slice of cake.

Silence wrapped around the room, thick and suffocating.
Claire’s hands clenched at her sides, shaking with rage. “You lied.”
Her father cleared his throat, setting his fork down as if this were any other dinner conversation. “Now, sweetheart—”
“Don’t.” Claire’s voice was sharp, cutting through the room like a knife. Her chest rose and fell, her breath coming faster, hotter.
“I almost wired you thousands. Thought you were dying.” She let out a laugh, bitter and hollow.
“Turns out you’re just broke.”

Her mother sighed, dabbing the corners of her mouth with a napkin, as if Claire’s fury was nothing more than an inconvenience.
“You owe us.”
Claire blinked. A cold, empty feeling settled in her chest. “Owe you?”
Her father leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms, completely unbothered.
“If we hadn’t kicked you out, you wouldn’t be who you are. Your success? That’s because of us.”
Claire’s fingers curled into fists. She looked at them—two strangers who had thrown her away, only to demand a reward when she thrived without them.

“No,” she whispered, her voice steady. “I made me.”
Her mother’s expression darkened, her voice dropping into something sharper. “You can’t just walk away.”
Claire’s lips curled into a slow, knowing smile.
“Watch me.”
She turned, walked out, and let the door slam behind her.
And this time, she wasn’t coming back.
