Dave Grohl's love child: Secret baby mama finally identified

Express Tribune22-02-2025
Jennifer Young, a 38-year-old music enthusiast, has confirmed she is the mother of Dave Grohl's love child, born in August 2024.
The Foo Fighters frontman, 56, who admitted to an extramarital affair last fall, vowed to be a 'loving and supportive' parent to his fourth child.
Young, who now lives in Los Angeles with her daughter, declined to comment on whether Grohl is actively involved in the child's life. However, records show that the baby carries Grohl's last name.
The revelation of Grohl's affair has caused turmoil within his 21-year marriage to Jordyn Blum, with sources saying the couple is struggling to rebuild trust. Blum, 48, has reportedly stopped wearing her wedding ring, and their daughter Violet, 18, briefly deactivated her social media following the scandal.
Young, who sports tattoos of Metallica and Paul McCartney lyrics, has been spotted pushing a stroller around LA, with her baby wearing a helmet decorated with Led Zeppelin and Elvis stickers. Concerned about backlash from angry Foo Fighters fans, Young has requested privacy for her child.
Grohl, who was previously married to Jennifer Youngblood in the 1990s, admitted to cheating in his first marriage as well. His current relationship with Young remains unclear.
The affair has shocked the rock world, tarnishing Grohl's reputation as one of music's 'good guys.'

Five most iconic designer-muse relationships of all time

A muse in fashion is like a designer's secret weapon; their style, vibe and energy spark the creativity behind the designs we see on the runway. These partnerships are personal, inspiring, and sometimes, even a little magical. Muses - whether models, actors, or musicians - help shape trends, define campaigns, and deliver some of fashion's most memorable looks. Hubert de Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn Hubert de Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn created fashion magic together, with Hepburn calling his designs "the only clothes in which I am myself." Their bond gave us unforgettable moments, like the iconic black dress in Breakfast at Tiffany's, reflecting how truly special their relationship was. Gianni Versace and Naomi Campbell Naomi Campbell's 1995 Met Gala look in Versace is an iconic moment in fashion history. The jaw-dropping silver dress, made from sparkly fabric, shimmered like a Barbie dream, perfectly showcasing Naomi's fierce presence and Versace's glamorous design. It remains one of the most spectacular and memorable fashion moments ever. Gianni Versace was assassinated in July 1997, a loss that hit Campbell deeply. Speaking to the New York Post, she said, 'He would push me to step outside and go further when I didn't think I had it in me. So when he died, my grief turned very bad." Jean Paul Gaultier and Madonna This collaboration revolutionised Madonna's style and solidified her as a fashion icon. For her 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour, Gaultier designed the now-iconic cone bra, a bold tribute to Madonna's rock-and-roll yet sensual persona. Their partnership pushed boundaries, with Gaultier creating unforgettable looks for Like a Virgin and Vogue music videos, now easily certified in the fashion hall of fame. Bob Mackie and Cher This list would be incomplete without what is arguably the most impactful designer-muse relationship of all time: Bob Mackie and Cher. Mackie, known for his flamboyant and daring designs, became Cher's go-to designer, creating the extravagant costumes that defined the singer's stage persona. One of their most iconic moments was Cher's 1975 Met Gala appearance, where she wore a sheer nude feathered gown. At the time, the 'naked dress' was the first of its kind and extremely controversial. However, naked dresses are now a staple of red carpet fashion, even Kim Kardashian referenced this Cher look at the 2019 Met Gala. Princess Diana and Catherine Walker Catherine Walker was one of Princess Diana's most trusted designers, known for creating elegant and timeless pieces that perfectly reflected the royal's sophisticated style. Walker crafted many of Diana's iconic outfits, including the famous 'Elvis dress'. The snow-white beaded dress and bolero, hand-embroidered with 28,600 pearls, featured a crisp, tall collar, earning it the "Elvis dress", dubbed so by Diana herself. Interestingly, Walker's designs have come full circle, as they are now a favourite of Diana's daughter-in-law, The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton.

Ozzy Osbourne bows out with Black Sabbath

Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath thrilled tens of thousands of fans in an emotional farewell gig in Birmingham following a day packed with tribute sets from a star-studded lineup, reported Reuters. Nearly six decades after helping pioneer heavy metal with an eponymous song that enthralled and frightened audiences, Black Sabbath returned to their home of Aston for Back to the Beginning, at Villa Park stadium. The one-off gig, with profits going to charity, was billed as Osbourne's last performance, five years after the 76-year-old "Prince of Darkness" revealed he had Parkinson's disease, which has made him unable to walk. One of music's wildest frontmen, who once chewed off the head of a bat on stage, Osbourne performed sitting on a black throne, at times appearing to tear up before an adoring crowd which lapped up hits including Crazy Train. "You've got no idea how I feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart," Osbourne said. Earlier, over a dozen acts including Metallica, Slayer, Tool and Guns N' Roses paid tribute to Black Sabbath and performed to a sea of fans in black band T-shirts who headbanged, moshed and crowd-surfed through a long day of rock and metal music. "Without Sabbath there would be no Metallica. Thank you, boys, for giving us a purpose in life," Metallica frontman James Hetfield said. Some of rock music's biggest names appeared on stage, including the Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, Megadeth's David Ellefson, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith and Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello, who was also the event's musical director. Morello told Metal Hammer magazine earlier that his goal had been to create "the greatest day in the history of heavy metal as a salute to the band that started it all". The gig united Sabbath's original lineup of Osbourne, bassist Geezer Butler, guitarist Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward for the first time in 20 years. Some fans cried and many said they felt emotional. One of them was Runo Gokdemir, a teacher from London, who said he had sold a car for 400 pounds ($546) to pay for a ticket. "I love Ozzy that much," he told Reuters. "When I had a tough time in my teenage years, I listened to Black Sabbath, and Ozzy has got me through a lot." Ozzy finished his solo set and returned with Black Sabbath, including a shirtless Ward, to perform four of their biggest hits including Paranoid and Iron Man.

Ozzy Osbourne delivers final live performance with Black Sabbath at Birmingham farewell festival

Ozzy Osbourne, aged 76, delivered his final live performance with Black Sabbath on Saturday night at Villa Park in Birmingham, the city where the legendary band was formed. The momentous set concluded a day-long festival titled "Back to the Beginning," serving as both a tribute and a farewell for the Prince of Darkness. Metallica's James Hetfield introduced the evening with a heartfelt homage to Sabbath, crediting them for inspiring generations of musicians. Ozzy's solo set marked his first in nearly seven years and was followed by a reunion performance with original bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—the first time the quartet had played together since 2005. Each act at the festival paid tribute to Osbourne and Sabbath, with performances from Metallica, Pantera, Tool, Anthrax, and others. Sabbath's closing four-song set featured 'War Pigs,' 'N.I.B.,' 'Iron Man,' and a stirring finale of 'Paranoid.' Ozzy, seated on a black gothic throne, addressed the crowd before the final song, expressing heartfelt thanks: 'Your support over the years has made it all possible.' Throughout the night, Osbourne engaged with fans, showing raw emotion during 'Mama, I'm Coming Home' and unleashing full energy on 'Crazy Train.' The show, streamed globally, was organised by Sharon Osbourne and Tom Morello, bringing together decades of heavy metal history in one final, unforgettable moment.
