According to a source, Dave Grohl’s wife Jordyn Blum is careful about her next move after the affair scandal.
“She doesn’t want to make any hasty decisions, since it’s all affecting their girls,” the source told People about Blum, who shares daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10, with Grohl. “She’s still unhappy and not wearing her wedding ring, but things have calmed down. She’s leaning on friends.”
Nearly two months ago, Grohl announced he had a baby girl with another woman while still married. When Grohl shared the news on Instagram, he mentioned that he and his family would move forward together.
“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” the musician wrote in a statement on Instagram at the time. “I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.”
Dave added, “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.”
Later, an insider said this process has been difficult for him. “He’s gone from being rock god to scumbag overnight; it’s changed the dynamic, and he hates it,” the source told In Touch magazine. “He admits he was wrong, but he’s under total scrutiny; he has no freedom. He’s offering up phone text messages and constantly apologizing and going to therapy.”
They added, “He’s trying to be a good dad, but at the same time it’s frustrating, and he doesn’t understand that these things can take months, even years to fix.”
According to another insider, Grohl stopped working with the divorce lawyer he hired after admitting to cheating and fathering a child with another woman. He’s now focused on saving his marriage to Blum and keeping his family together. Sources say Grohl is putting his wife and three kids first. He knows he made mistakes and doesn’t want to lose his family.
