Dave Grohl’s brutal comment about his wife resurfaces amid revelation he cheated on her and fathered a child
Dave Grohl’s brutal past comment about his wife Jordyn Blum has resurfaced amid his cheating scandal.
On Tuesday (September 10), the 55-year-old Foo Fighters frontman admitted to cheating on his wife and fathering a child outside of his marriage.
In a post shared on his Instagram, Grohl penned that he would be working to “regain” the trust of his 48-year-old wife, and their three daughters.
“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” he said. “I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. 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,” he concluded.
Years before the ‘Everlong’ musician confessed to cheating, he seemingly predicted his marriage with Blum would not last… before it even began.
This was revealed in a resurfaced interview with Q magazine, in which the rocker reminisced about the first time he met his spouse in 2001 at the Sunset Marquis whiskey bar in West Hollywood.
Grohl was out with late bandmate Taylor Hawkins at the time and shared: “Taylor was the looker. I mean, girls would send him drinks. Some bombshell comes up and starts talking to Taylor. I was just out of a Tenacious D session.
“I’ve got Vans trainers on, no socks, dirty shorts, and a dirty T-shirt, surrounded by beautiful Hollywood. She waved her friend Jordyn over. I was like, ‘Oh my God. Not a chance!’” he said.
What really has fans talking is the ‘My Hero’ musician’s shocking comment from that night: “So I’m just having some drinks and acting like a jacka**. And by the end of the night, I was p**sed and I’m staring at her going, ‘You’re my future ex-wife.’”
Instead of being put off by the remark, Blum played along and gave him her number, writing, “‘Jordyn, your future ex-wife,’” and the pair started seeing each other “a few times” after.
Grohl disclosed in a 2007 interview with Elle magazine that he stopped contacting Blum after they went on a few first dates because he realized he wasn’t ready for commitment.
“When I first met my wife, we went out on a few dates and I decided that I wasn’t ready for a serious relationship, so I just stopped calling,” he recalled. “After three months, I had a revelation and called her back. She picked up the phone and said, ‘Oh, I never thought I’d hear from you again.’”
The couple rekindled their romance and got married in 2003. They welcomed three kids together: Violet Maye, 18, Harper Willow, 15, and Ophelia Saint, 10, born in 2006, 2009, and 2014, respectively.
Grohl didn’t disclose any further details about the new baby or the mother of the child.

Actor who agreed to be paid $1,000 for every bee sting during horror scene made a fortune
By Asiya Ali
An actor has revealed that they made a fortune after agreeing to be paid $1,000 every time they were stung by a bee in a movie.
How much would you want to get paid every time you got stung by a bee on a movie set where you were likely to get stung by the buzzy insects a lot?
For Hollywood star Tony Todd, the answer is $1,000.
The 69-year-old actor is best known for portraying Candyman in the 1992 horror franchise.
The movie is set in the Chicago district of Cabrini-Green and centers around the terrifying urban legend of the Candyman (played by Todd) who appears if you say his name five times in the mirror.
The synopsis for Candyman reads: “Intrigued by local legends, Helen investigates the myths and superstitions surrounding the one-armed Candyman. However, she confronts her worst nightmare when a series of murders start taking place.”
One of the spine-chilling scenes in the movie is when the Candyman is seen kissing Helen Lyle (played by Virginia Madsen) with a mouth full of insects.
Watch the iconic scene below:
According to Collider, Todd’s attorney negotiated that his client would be awarded $1,000 per bee sting.
Todd described the insects as “the worst nemesis,” but added that he “didn’t mind” the stings because of the clause in his contract. “I’m going like, ‘Bring it on!’” he remarked, as cited by PEOPLE.
“I had a great lawyer at the time and we got paid,” he quipped. In the end, it was revealed that the actor was stung 27 times which means he took home a staggering $27,000 for his troubles.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t as easy for Todd’s co-star Madsen – who stars as grad student Helen – as she was extremely allergic to bees and had to film scenes with “paramedics on the set,” per the outlet. This “didn’t make [her] feel very confident,” she added.
“But the bees that were on me were baby bees so they can sting but they said they are less likely to,” the actress said. “Then you had to sit for a good 20-25 minutes while [the bee wrangler] vacuums them off you.”
IMDB reported that the horror classic had a budget of $6 million but became a box office smash hit and made over $25 million in the US.
Todd reprised his role in the sequel, 1995’s Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh and 1999’s direct-to-video Candyman 3: Day of the Dead.
While Madsen did not appear alongside Todd in the two follow-up movies, she did play Helen via a voice and archive-image cameo in 2021’s Candyman, which was directed by Nia DaCosta and written by DaCosta, Win Rosenfeld and Jordan Peele.
