Last month, Dave Grohl announced the arrival of his daughter from an affair outside his marriage to Jordyn Blum. He promised to rebuild trust with his family and take responsibility for his newborn, but it’s been a difficult process. He is also getting help after the affair.
An insider shared that Grohl is struggling with the fallout, saying, “He’s gone from being a rock star to someone who’s heavily criticized, and he’s really struggling with it.” The source added that Grohl admits he made a mistake but feels under constant watch. He’s been offering to show his phone messages, apologizing frequently, and going to therapy.
Grohl and Blum, married since 2003, have stopped wearing their wedding rings in public since the affair became known, reportedly to prevent the news from breaking in a different way.
Rumors suggest Grohl’s personal issues have impacted his professional life as well. Foo Fighters canceled their appearance at the Soundside Music Festival on September 29, soon after Grohl’s announcement, though the reason wasn’t officially confirmed. The band finished their 2024 North American tour in August, with no upcoming shows listed for the rest of the year.
