'In 2004 a visitor to his recording studio (at that point not at his home) found that the wifi password was 'pussy' and there was a large poster of British pin-up Kelly Brook on the wall. Grohl also talked of having to get rid of the band's porn mags before singer Norah Jones saw them, which may have been a joke.
Jordyn Blum was familiar with this side of him. She is not his first wife, and before they were an item he had a reputation as a ladies' man. He was married in 1994 – the year Nirvana bandmate Kurt Cobain took his own life – to photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood. They split three years later. He reflected in 1999: 'I was 25, my wife was even younger. We weren't ready to get married.' He then dated Louise Post from the band Veruca Salt – who accused him of cheating on her with actress Winona Ryder and dozens of other women.
Another girlfriend was US snowboarder Tina Basich, who had to telephone him over and over for five weeks until he took her call and admitted he had moved on. She said: 'I was really in love with him. Break-ups suck. Rockstar break-ups suck the worst. All I got was a five-minute phone call after five weeks of me calling and trying to get ahold of him because I just had to know if these rumours were true.'
The rumours may have concerned actress Kari Wuhrer, his next girlfriend. She was followed by the band Hole's Melissa Auf der Maur who he dated until 2001. No wonder his late mother said: 'I did worry about women. My biggest fear was that Madonna would snatch him up.'
In addition, he was openly appreciative of the groupie scene when on tour. In a 2002 interview – given after he started dating Blum – he said: 'Groupies come to the back. They know what they want; they know what the band wants. It just happens. It's that easy.''
'In another interview he said: 'There's a difference between true love and a crush, lust and a one-night stand... I do like a good tryst, though.'
So where does Blum fit into this? She fell into his life in 2001, in the middle of this hedonistic period, and they started dating seriously the following year.
The initial encounter was in 2001 at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in West Hollywood. Grohl was drinking with his Foo Fighters' bandmate Taylor Hawkins. He said: 'Taylor was the looker. Some bombshell comes up and starts talking to Taylor.
'I've got trainers on, no socks, dirty shorts and a dirty T-shirt. She waved her friend Jordyn over. I was like, 'Oh my God. Not a chance!' So I'm just having some drinks and acting like a jackass. And by the end of the night I was p***ed and I'm staring at her going, 'You're my future ex-wife'.
'So she gave me her number: 'Jordyn, your future ex-wife'.'
But Grohl 'wasn't ready for a serious relationship' and 'stopped calling'. Everything changed when Hawkins was hospitalised in a coma after a heroin overdose in August 2001. (He died of a heart attack in March 2022 while Foo Fighters – whose hit Everlong has become a popular wedding song – were touring.)
Grohl said: 'I was sitting watching the snooker and this commercial comes on for chewing gum – this girl walking through the subway pickpocketing people. All of a sudden I think, 'That's that girl Jordyn, that's that chick!' And over the course of the next few days I start having these dreams about that life that I'd been thinking about, settling-down dreams.
'I thought, 'I'm not waiting one more minute, because life's too f***ing short, man. It's too delicate'. The day we got home I called her up and she said, 'Wow, I never thought I'd hear from you again'. So I took her to a restaurant... and that was that.'
Until this week's extraordinary admission......'
