Jennifer Young, a 38-year-old rock enthusiast from Los Angeles, has come forward claiming to be the mother of Dave Grohl’s secret child, as first reported by Page Six.
Young, originally from Florida, leads a low-key life in LA with her mother and her infant daughter, born on August 1, 2024. The baby, who carries Grohl’s last name, has been kept out of the public eye due to intense fan reactions. “Protecting her identity is really important,” Young told The Post, requesting that her daughter’s name remain undisclosed.
A devoted music fan, Young sports tattoos featuring Paul McCartney lyrics and the Metallica logo. Even her baby’s helmet is covered in stickers of legendary artists like Metallica, Led Zeppelin, and Elvis Presley. Despite her deep-rooted love for music, Young maintains no public social media presence, making details about her personal life scarce.
Grohl, who has been married to Jordyn Blum since 2003, publicly acknowledged his daughter’s birth in September 2024, a month after she was born. “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” he wrote on Instagram. “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.”
Though Grohl has stated his commitment to his child, the nature of his relationship with Young remains uncertain. The two have never been photographed together, though both were in New York City over Valentine’s Day weekend—Grohl for the Saturday Night Live anniversary concert. Whether they crossed paths remains unknown.
A former classmate described Young as “quiet” and “pleasant” but was surprised by her connection to Grohl, recalling that she seemed more into Gwen Stefani than the Foo Fighters.
Grohl and Blum share three daughters: Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10. Now, with the revelation of his newest daughter, the rock icon’s family dynamic has taken an unexpected turn.
