Grohl has been married to wife Jordyn Blum since 2003. The couple shares three kids, daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.

Although the former Nirvana drummer doesn’t often speak about his wife in interviews, he discussed the importance of his family in 2009, tellingTIME, “I used to tour nine months out of the year. Now I don’t like being away from my kids for more than 12 days.”

The musician continued, “It’s changed everything that I do. When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It’s inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting.”
