Dave Grohl and his wife, Jordyn Blum, are planning to celebrate the holidays by each other’s sides.
“They are all spending Christmas as a family,” a source told People on Monday, December 23. Us Weekly reached out to Grohl’s rep for comment.
Months before the holidays, the Foo Fighters frontman revealed that he welcomed a child outside of his marriage with Blum. (Grohl and Blum, who tied the knot in 2003, share three daughters: Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.)
“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” he wrote via Instagram in September. “I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children.”
He continued, “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.”
Blum has not spoken publicly about the situation, nor addressed the status of their marriage. Later that month, she was spotted without her wedding ring, per photos obtained by Page Six.
Years before the paternity scandal, Grohl, 55, got candid about his initial meeting with Blum in 2001 — and said he knew she was his future ex.
“Some bombshell comes up and starts talking to [my bandmate] Taylor [Hawkins]. I was just out of a Tenacious D session,” Grohl recalled to Q Magazine in 2007. “I’ve got Vans trainers on, no socks, dirty shorts and a dirty T-shirt, surrounded by beautiful Hollywood.”
Grohl claimed that the woman waved her friend over, who was Blum. “I was like, ‘Oh my, God. Not a chance!’ So I’m just having some drinks and acting like a jackass,” he explained. “And by the end of the night, I was pissed and I’m staring at her going, ‘You’re my future ex-wife.’ So she gave me her number: ‘Jordyn, your future ex-wife.’”
After the first encounter, Grohl said that he and Blum “saw each other a few times.” He added, “But I realized that this was the flag, the finish line and I’m like, ‘Oh, wait a minute.’ So I backed out.”
They ultimately rekindled their romance and exchanged vows. Prior to his marriage to Blum, Grohl wed Jennifer Leigh Youngblood in 1994. The twosome went their separate ways three years later after Grohl admitted to being unfaithful.
This wasn’t the first time Grohl allegedly cheated. His ex-girlfriend Tina Basich claimed that he stepped out of their two-year-long relationship.
“I don’t know how anyone in his profession can have a normal relationship with a girlfriend … or two, as it turned out,” Basich wrote in her 2003 memoir Pretty Good for a Girl. “I found out secondhand, through the grapevine, when it seemed like everyone else in the world knew about it but me. … All I got was a five-minute phone call from him, after five weeks of me calling and trying to get ahold of him because I just had to know if these rumors were true and had to hear it straight from the source.”
