Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl Has Been in Therapy 6 Times a Week Since Affair, Baby Admission
Dave Grohl opened up about a personal revelation that he had kept private for years. In September 2024, he publicly shared that he had fathered a child outside of his marriage to Jordyn Blum, with whom he has three daughters.
Speaking to The Guardian in an interview released March 20, Grohl explained why he chose to disclose the information on social media. “I had to turn everything off, including my concern for what other people think,” he said. “Shutting off that part of yourself can be a very healthy way to focus on life within your immediate surroundings. Not giving external opinions so much power over you can prevent them from completely destroying your sense of self.”
The Foo Fighters frontman also detailed his commitment to therapy. Since the revelation of his affair, Grohl has attended therapy sessions six times a week for 70 weeks, totaling more than 430 sessions. While he acknowledged that multiple factors led him to therapy, he chose not to elaborate on the affair itself. “Writing songs and lyrics about these experiences is sometimes enough,” he said. “I reserve much of this for my personal life, as private as that may seem, even though my life is very public. I reached a point where I needed to stop, reflect, and re-evaluate myself. It’s an ongoing process.”
Grohl added that therapy has helped him recognize patterns in his life, particularly a tendency to overextend himself. “I think that’s how I ended up getting lost—taking on too much and not letting feelings move from my head into my heart. I realized I needed to pause, turn everything off, and reconnect with myself.”
His bandmates have noticed shifts in his priorities as well. Bassist Nate Mendel said, “He’s placing the band’s ambitions differently now. There are other things in life that take precedence outside of music.”
Meanwhile, Jordyn Blum, who has never publicly commented on the affair, was briefly seen without her wedding ring after Grohl’s admission. The couple has since been spotted together multiple times and made their first joint red carpet appearance in October.
