Dave Grohl’s wife, Jordyn Blum, may have hinted at the pair’s marital woes weeks before the famed Foo Fighter announced he fathered a baby with another woman.
On Aug. 1, the mother of three was photographed without her wedding ring while out and about in Los Angeles alongside her husband.
Despite the joint outing, the couple looked tense as they walked down the street in all-black outfits.
Grohl, 55, and the former model, 48, notably kept their distance from one another as the rocker lit a cigarette and Blum scrolled on her phone.
While it’s unclear when the “My Hero” singer told his wife about his infidelity, he broke the news to the world on Tuesday.
“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside my marriage,” he wrote on Instagram.
“I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness,” he added.
Despite his optimism, Grohl reportedly hired a divorce attorney before sharing the news.
The “Best of You” singer also did not disclose any information about his newborn’s mother.
Grohl and Blum have been together for over 23 years and share daughters Violet Maye, 18, Harper Willow, 15, and Ophelia Saint, 10.
His eldest two girls deactivated their social media accounts in light of the shocking announcement. However, none of his family members have spoken out about the situation.
Amid the scandal, allegations of infidelity from some of Grohl’s former partners have since resurfaced online.
Grohl dated snowboarding pioneer Tina Basich for nearly two years in the late ’90s and the athlete claimed in her 2003 memoir that he cheated on her.
Basich explained that the “pressure” of their respective careers “was too much for [their] relationship to handle” — and it didn’t help that the rockstar was allegedly two-timing her.
“You can only give up so much of your heart and your career and your time and your spirit, and here I was, giving it all up for a guy and losing myself in the process,” she wrote in “Pretty Good for a Girl: The Autobiography of a Snowboarding Pioneer.”
She continued, “I don’t know how anyone in his profession can have a normal relationship with a girlfriend…or two, as it turned out. I found out secondhand, through the grapevine, when it seemed like everyone else in the world knew about it but me.”
The snowboarder said she was “so disappointed and pissed” at herself for believing Grohl’s alleged lies and getting “sucked in” to his world.
“Breakups suck. But Rockstar exits are the worst,” she told readers. “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.”
Prior to Grohl’s relationship with Basich, he was married to first wife Jennifer Youngblood. The pair wed in 1994 but called it quits three years later.
The reason for their divorce is unknown.
