Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters’ frontman, is attending therapy to repair his marriage to Jordyn Blum after disclosing that he fathered a child outside their relationship. According to sources, Grohl is deeply affected by the shift in his personal life. “He’s gone from being rock god to scumbag overnight, it’s changed the dynamic and he hates it,” a source told *In Touch*. Grohl, however, is determined to save his marriage. “Jordyn and the kids are his life,” the insider added, emphasizing his dedication to restoring their relationship.
On September 10, Grohl took to Instagram to reveal the news of his newborn daughter, admitting that she was born outside of his marriage. In his post, he said, “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.” He concluded by asking for privacy and consideration for all the children involved as they navigate the situation.
An insider revealed that Grohl is doing everything possible to make amends, including constant apologies and offering up his phone text messages to prove his commitment. “He admits he was wrong, but he’s under total scrutiny, he has no freedom,” the source explained. Grohl’s frustrations stem from the fact that reconciliation could take much longer than expected, with the insider noting, “He doesn’t understand that these things can take months, even years to fix.”
Both Grohl and Blum have been spotted without their wedding rings since the public revelation. On September 17, Blum was seen without her ring during a meeting with her tennis coach and Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz. More recently, on October 7, she was photographed grocery shopping in Los Angeles, again without her ring. Despite wearing other jewelry, including a gold heart necklace, her left ring finger remained bare. Grohl, too, was seen without his wedding band on the same day after leaving a friend’s house.
It was previously reported by *In Touch* that Grohl had hoped to keep the news of his illegitimate child private, but he eventually decided to come forward. “He feared the mother or someone else would spill the news,” the insider said, explaining that it was Grohl’s way of “owning up” to his mistake. The rocker felt it was necessary to make the announcement to prevent further complications down the road.
While the couple’s future remains uncertain, another source told *The Daily Mail* that Blum gave Grohl an ultimatum. “She gave him an ultimatum to figure it out, and he wants to regain her trust,” the source revealed. Grohl is reportedly focusing on his wife’s needs, with insiders claiming that his public admission was a “last-ditch effort to save the marriage.” Despite the challenges, Grohl is committed to doing whatever it takes to repair the relationship, saying, “He would rather remain married.”
