Dave Grohl Is Reportedly Getting a Second Chance From Wife Jordyn Blum After His Affair & Secret Baby
Dave Grohl might be counting his blessing this holiday season because he’s reportedly getting a second chance with wife Jordyn Blum after his affair produced a daughter. The Foo Fighters frontman will be spending the holiday season with Blum and their three children, Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10, according to People.
Grohl, who has been married for 21 years, shocked his fans when he released a statement on Instagram in September. The message cut straight to the point: “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”
The media outlet reported in November that the 55-year-old musician was “no longer working with a divorce attorney and instead hoping to work things out with his wife.” An insider added, “Dave’s been prioritizing his family. He knows he messed up. It’s one of those situations where you don’t realize what you have until you’re about to lose it. He doesn’t want to lose his family.”
Blum was reportedly leaning on A-list bestie Kate Hudson during the very public ordeal, per the Daily Mail. “[Kate] was surprised and disgusted that at Dave’s age, he’s still cheating on not only Jordyn, but their girls too,” a source said. “Kate told Jordyn she’s there for her 24/7 and not to hesitate to pick up the phone even if it’s for a good cry or if she needs her to come over for a hug and a heart-to-heart.”
Hopefully, Grohl and Blum are doing what is best for their marriage, but the rock star admitted to The Guardian in 2007 that he had troubles with infidelity in the past. It led to the demise of his first marriage to Jennifer Youngblood, who he was married to for three years from 1994 to 1997. The decision will ultimately come down to Blum, who was focusing on her daughters.
“She doesn’t want to make any hasty decisions, since it’s all affecting their girls,” the People source added. “She’s still unhappy and not wearing her wedding ring, but things have calmed down.”
