Dave Grohl’s shocking divorce announcement has taken another twist as he is no longer using a lawyer and hopes to work out his marriage.
The Foo Fighters frontman, 55, devastated fans in September after revealing he was expecting a child with another woman in a bombshell Instagram post.
He confirmed he had cheated on his wife of 21 years, Jordyn Blum, stating he was ‘doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.’
Weeks later, it was revealed he had hired a divorce attorney, with Dave and Jordyn both spotted without their wedding rings.
However, People are now reporting that the lawyers have been called off as the couple seeks to work through things once again.
‘He’s no longer working with a divorce attorney and instead hoping to work things out with his wife,’ an insider said.
A second source told the outlet: ‘“Dave’s been prioritising his family. He knows he messed up.
‘It’s one of those situations where you don’t realise what you have until you’re about to lose it. He doesn’t want to lose his family.’
Dave is now father to a daughter with an unnamed woman, as well as his and Jordyn’s children, Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.
The estranged couple have not addressed the family situation publicly since his post but the publication claimed Jordyn has been aware of the child for a while.
‘I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,’ the Everlong hitmaker wrote. ‘I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.’
Comments were switched off on the post in the face of a huge online reaction after Jordyn gave an ‘ultimatum’.
In the wake of the news, Foo Fighters pulled out of their first gig after the scandal at Soundside Music Festival in Connecticut, US.
They are now said to be on indefinite hiatus, with a source telling The Sun: ‘Being on the road isn’t the best thing for any of them at the moment.’
On top of the new baby, the Foo Fighters have suffered the loss of their best friend, drummer Taylor Hawkins as well as the death of Dave’s mum.
A break is said to be ‘the best thing for them collectively’ as the band focuses on their families.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, another insider claimed Dave is trying to ‘divert his focus’ and support his wife in the ‘day-to-day things she wants’.
‘He thinks the marriage is salvageable so why not try to fix it?’ They said, adding that Jordyn hasn’t felt like his ‘number one’ for a while.
Jordyn is Dave’s second wife, as he was previously married to photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood from 1994 until 1997.
The pair are thought to have split after the Nirvana star admitted to being unfaithful.
Metro has contacted Dave’s reps for comment.
