Dave Grohl has experienced his fair share of relationship drama while in the public eye, including multiple cheating scandals.
The Foo Fighters rocker has been married twice and stepped outside his marriage both times. He and first wife Jennifer Leigh Youngblood married in 1994.
“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,” Grohl told Elle in 2007. “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 pair finalized their divorce in 1997 after Grohl admitted to infidelity.
He moved on and tied the knot with current wife Jordyn Blum in 2003. They share three daughters, Violet, Harper and Ophelia Grohl.

What His Ex-Girlfriend Said
Snowboarder Tina Basich dated Grohl for two years in the 1990s. Following their split, she alleged that he was seeing another woman during their relationship.
Basich recalled Grohl being “busy” while they dated in her 2003 memoir Pretty Good for a Girl: The Autobiography of a Snowboarding Pioneer. She cited his career as a point of contention between them.
“I don’t know how anyone in his profession can have a normal relationship with a girlfriend … or two, as it turned out,” she wrote. “I found out secondhand, through the grapevine, when it seemed like everyone else in the world knew about it but me.”
Despite trying to get details from Grohl, the athlete wrote that he told her “nothing” and broke things off.
“All I got was a five-minute phone call from him, after five weeks of me calling and trying to get ahold of him because I just had to know if these rumors were true and had to hear it straight from the source,” she wrote.
His 1st Admission
During an interview with The Guardian, it was printed that Grohl “admitted [to] infidelities that led to his divorce from first wife.” Any other details about his split from Youngblood were not released.
