Blum was widely reported to have been an MTV producer when she first met Grohl.

The rockstar subsequently admitted in an Elle interview that he was not ready for a serious relationship when the pair first met, admitting to not calling his now-wife back after few dates.

However, it wasn't long before the frontman had a change of heart: "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.'"
