Foo Fighters rocker Dave Grohl met his wife, Jordyn Blum, at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in Los Angeles, Calif., in 2001. Two years later, the pair tied the knot and began expanding their family.

Before Blum, Grohl was married to Jennifer Youngblood from 1994 to 1997. They called it quits after the musician admitted to cheating on his then-spouse.

Reflecting on his relationship with Blum, Grohl said he initially ghosted her because he "was not ready for a serious relationship."

"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,'" he recalled in a 2007 interview with Elle.

Dave and Jordyn welcomed their first daughter, Violet Maye Grohl, on April 15, 2006, three years after walking down the aisle.

A few months later, the 55-year-old "Play" singer opened up about his fatherhood journey.

"We don't talk about how much we drank last night [anymore]," he told People in 2007. "[Now] it's how much sleep we got, how much sleep the baby got, diaper rash, formula. We used to go on the road for three months at a time. It's a struggle for me to leave for even 12 days. I realized the life I always imagined beginning once the band ended has to begin now."

Dave and Violet notably shared the stage and sang Adele's "When We Were Young" at a 2018 benefit for the UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals. They also made a cover of X's 1980 song "Nausea" in 2021, marking the first time they recorded together.

"I'm so proud of it because I love her very much and she's an amazing singer, but it kind of follows this lineage and family history from this guy in Switzerland to now my daughter Violet. It's this Bonebrake family tree that means a lot to me," Dave shared.

They had their latest collaboration at the 2023 Glastonbury Festival.

Like Violet, Harper has also been exploring her musical interests since receiving her first piano lesson from Paul McCartney when she was 5 years old. She also joined her father and sister at the 2018 benefit concert and played the drums for the acoustic rendition of "The Sky Is a Neighborhood."
