The name of the lady who welcomed a baby with Dave Grohl has reportedly come forward months after news of his cheating scandal.
Page Six reported on Friday, February 21, that Jennifer Young — a 38-year-old from Los Angeles — welcomed a baby with Grohl in August 2024 amid his marriage to wife Jordyn Blum. (Us Weekly has reached to to Grohl’s team for comment.)
Young reportedly asked the publication not to disclose the name of her and Grohl’s child, stating that there are “some really offended fans.” She noted: “Protecting her identity is absolutely necessary.”
Grohl, who has been married Blum since 2003, announced in a press release shared via Instagram in September 2024, that he had cheated on his wife and welcomed a baby outside of their marriage. (Grohl and Blum share daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.)
“I’ve recently turn out to be the daddy of a brand new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” Grohl wrote. “I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I like my wife and my children, and I’m doing all the pieces I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We’re grateful to your consideration toward all the kids involved, as we move forward.”
Despite the scandal, he and Blum were spotted out together earlier this month. It was also reported in December 2024 that the family had plans to spend the vacations together.
Following Grohl’s cheating revelation, an excerpt surfaced from snowboarder Tina Basich’s 2003 memoir by which she accused Grohl of seeing one other woman during their two-year relationship within the Nineteen Nineties.
“I don’t know the way anyone in his career can have a standard relationship with a girlfriend … or two, because it turned out,” Basich alleged in Pretty Good for a Girl: The Autobiography of a Snowboarding Pioneer. “I discovered secondhand, through the grapevine, when it gave the impression of everyone else on this planet knew about it but me.”
Basich attempted to get details from Grohl, who allegedly told her “nothing” and broke things off together with her.
“All I got was a five-minute phone call from him, after five weeks of me calling and attempting to get ahold of it because I just needed to know if these rumors were true and had to listen to it straight from the source,” she wrote.
Before his marriage to Blum, Grohl tied the knot with Jennifer Leigh Youngblood in 1994, however the twosome divorced in 1997 after Grohl admitted to infidelity during their relationship, per The Guardian.
“I used to be 25, my wife was even younger. We weren’t able to get married,” Grohl told Melody Maker magazine in 1999 following his divorce with Youngblood. “I miss her a ton, she’s the funniest goddamn weirdo you’ve ever met in your life. Absolutely cute. It could have been higher had we not got married. But you reside and also you learn.”
