Where Dave Grohl’s relationship with his wife is supposed to be

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Following Dave Grohl’s announcement that he fathered a child out of wedlock, the Foo Fighters frontman has stepped aside. With Grohl, 55, having a history of alleged infidelities and marital breakups in the past, fans have been wondering where his relationship with wife Jordyn Blum stands now, five weeks after the scandal broke in September .

On Thursday, October 17, people reported that Blum, 48, is still not wearing her wedding ring amid the drama, a move that appears to have some significance.

According to a source, while Blum has “calmed down” since the “initial shock” of the revelation, her marriage to Grohl is still on the rocks.

“Her marriage is still not in good shape,” said the source, who claimed that Blum is “not happy with Dave,” to whom she has been married for 21 years.

The source also shared that Blum has been spending time with her daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10, who she shares with Grohl.

“Jordyn has been focusing on her girls, school and extracurriculars,” the source said.

On September 10, Grohl broke the news on Instagram, writing: “I recently became a father to a new daughter, born out of wedlock. I intend to be a loving and supportive father to her. I love my wife and children, and I’m doing everything I can to earn their trust and forgiveness. We appreciate your consideration for all the children involved as we move forward together.” The child’s mother has not yet been named.

According to previous reports, Grohl had hired a divorce lawyer shortly before announcing that he had welcomed a child with another woman. However, the source said that they are not sure if Blum and Grohl will end up divorcing.

Since breaking the news of his paternity, Grohl has not posted on social media. Foo Fighters also canceled a performance at the Soundside Music Festival that was scheduled just days after the revelation.

Blum herself has not commented directly on the matter.

In the past, Grohl, who has been married twice, has been accused of infidelity in his previous marriage to Jennifer Leigh Youngblood and ex-girlfriend Tina Basich. Grohl admitted to multiple acts of infidelity in his marriage to Youngblood, and Basich wrote about Grohl’s alleged infidelity in his 2003 memoir. Pretty good for a girl.
