Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and his wife Jordyn Blum have presented a united front at a high-profile pre-Grammys party, marking one of their most significant public outings since the musician's infidelity scandal came to light. The couple attended Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday, January 31, accompanied by their 19-year-old daughter Violet, in what appears to be a carefully orchestrated display of family solidarity.
Red Carpet Appearance Follows Personal Turmoil
The 57-year-old rock star, dressed in a sophisticated black suit and matching turtleneck, walked the red carpet alongside his wife of over two decades. Blum, 49, made a striking fashion statement in an emerald gown featuring a dramatic leg slit, while their daughter Violet opted for a bold red corset-style blazer paired with a matching maxi skirt. This rare family appearance comes more than a year after Grohl publicly acknowledged fathering a child "outside of my marriage" in September 2024.
Scandal and Reconciliation Efforts
In his 2024 statement, the former Nirvana drummer revealed he had become a father to a new baby daughter born outside his marriage to Blum. At the time, Grohl expressed his commitment to being "a loving and supportive parent" to the child while working to "regain" the trust of his wife and their three children together. The musician wrote: "I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together."
Grohl and Blum, who met in 2001 and married two years later, share three daughters: Violet Maye (born 2006), Harper Willow (born 2009), and Ophelia Saint (born 2014). The couple had previously made their first official post-scandal appearance at Wimbledon in London during the summer, where they were guests in the prestigious Royal Box. Their attendance at the pre-Grammys event represents another step in their gradual return to public life following the personal turmoil.
Grammy Celebrations and Star-Studded Guest List
The Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala honored Republic Records founders Avery Lipman and Monte Lipman ahead of the main Grammy Awards ceremony. The event attracted numerous music industry luminaries, including nominees Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Olivia Dean. Host Trevor Noah presided over proceedings, with stars such as Harry Styles, Carole King, Jeff Goldblum, and Charli XCX presenting awards.
Other notable attendees on the red carpet included Best New Artist nominees Alex Warren, Sombr, and Olivia Dean, alongside established artists like Lana Del Rey, Lizzo, Tyla, Demi Lovato, and legendary singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. The Grohl family's appearance at such a high-profile industry event suggests a deliberate effort to normalize their public presence while maintaining privacy about the specific circumstances surrounding the infidelity and the child born from it.
Throughout the evening, Grohl and Blum maintained a composed demeanor, offering no further details about the new baby or the child's mother. Their coordinated appearance, complete with matching formal wear and supportive body language, projected an image of marital stability despite the challenges revealed in Grohl's 2024 statement. The couple's decision to include their eldest daughter in the outing further emphasized their focus on family unity as they navigate the aftermath of the scandal.
