Dave Grohl and Jordyn Blum Reconcile

Since Dave Grohl had a daughter with his mistress last year, his wife Jordyn Blum forgave him and they’ve reconciled. Score one for the unicorns.

***

For any of you following the wandering dick saga of fallen Good Guy rocker Dave Grohl and his baby mama drama, you’ll all be relieved to know that the sanctity of marriage was upheld and wife Jordyn Blum called off the divorce lawyers. They’re officially reconciled.

I have no idea why.

Maybe Jordyn read an improving Esther Perel article that said public humiliation makes a marriage stronger. Maybe there have been great strides in dick-navigation GPS technology. Or, perhaps Jordyn was going to be goddamned if that groupie wins the pick me dance.

I mean, who would you rather be? The obscure ex-wife of a Gen X drummer or the triumphant once and forever Public Wife? The last woman standing in the gladiator games for fuckwits.

Tracy, if Dave Grohl and Jordyn Blum want to reconcile, that’s their business.

And it’s my business to point out, chump-to-chump, how this may all blow up spectacularly in Jordyn’s face. They don’t get character transplants. I hope she got a generous post-nup.

Sure, there were reconciliation rumors before. Dave said he was going to do everything in his power to make it up to Jordyn including retaining a divorce lawyer and publicly vowing to be in his new child’s life. Shit sandwich from the buffet, Jordyn? Or wrapped to go?

But now People magazine reports that they’ve taken it further.

They’re appearing in public together.

Dave Grohl and Jordyn Blum were seen together in a rare joint public outing following the baby revelation that rocked their 21-year marriage. 

On Saturday, Oct. 18, the Foo Fighters frontman, 56, and former television producer, 49, attended the Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission Present Hope in the City of Angels charity gala at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. 

The fundraiser to support the homeless was the first time that the couple posed together on a red carpet at a formal event since it was revealed that Grohl welcomed a fourth child “outside of [his] marriage” in September 2024.

Blum opted for a belted mini-dress and sandals with her hair in a stylish up-do, while Grohl coordinated in an all-black suit. 

Coordinated outfits. That’s nice. What pairs best with “welcomed a fourth child outside the marriage”? A belted mini-dress! You can cinch your waist or strangle your cognitive dissonance.

Thank you for thinking of the children.

The couple share three daughters: Violet Maye, 19, Harper Willow, 16, and Ophelia Saint, 11. In September 2024, Grohl announced on Instagram that he welcomed a fourth daughter with a woman outside of his marriage. 

“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” he wrote. “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.”

“We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved as we move forward together,” Grohl concluded.

Hey, Dave created a fourth child for his children. He was thinking of them the entire time. Such is his consideration for his wife and children. And child.

Jordyn had fleeting thoughts about divorce, says People magazine. But then entire weeks passed and she was over it!

“It was just such a shock for Jordyn. Her first instinct was that she wanted a divorce. The betrayal felt too heavy,” an insider said. “But as weeks passed, she got some space to think and it just felt very sad to her if the family would split up.”

Jordyn, YOU ARE AN INTACT FAMILY WITHOUT A FW! Yes, betrayal is heavy. It’s even heavier when you stay with your betrayer. Ask a few gazillion of us how we know.

This has all been very hard… on Dave.

Last month, one year on from the news, a source told PEOPLE the pair were in a good place.

“She’s forgiven him,” the source said. “They never wanted a divorce though — the idea of splitting up their family was too sad for both of them. They love their girls and they’re both great parents.”

Blum “was initially distraught, but the betrayal was painful for both of them,” and Grohl “felt terrible and begged her to forgive him,” the insider continued, adding that Blum is “surrounded by friends who believe in marriage and encouraged her to fight for it.”

Hey, Insider Source PR agency — Dave doesn’t get to claim the betrayal was painful for them BOTH. As if he’s some equal victim in all this. HE did this. HE made a baby with another woman. There’s no sad sausage sympathy to be had.

As for those “friends” — you can leave a cheater precisely because you DO believe in marriage. Refusing to live a sham is a valid, self-respecting choice. Implying that reconciliation is the only path for people who “believe in marriage” is victim-blaming and offensive.

“They’re very happy now,” the source added. “She feels it was all worth fighting for.”

Anyone who has to “fight” for their marriage isn’t happy. Step out of the FW Thunderdome, Jordyn. Sanity has no marriage gladiators.
