Dave Grohl made a rare red carpet appearance with his wife Jordyn Blum as they attended the Resonator Awards in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

The couple’s marriage was rocked after the Foo Fighters frontman confirmed he had fathered a baby with another woman – rock and roll fan Jennifer Young – in September 2024.

While Dave, 57, and Jordyn, 49, were spotted together at Wimbledon over the summer, they have made few red carpet appearances since the controversy.

The musician opted for an all black look in a blazer, shirt and trousers while Jordyn wore a black blazer with matching trousers and a polka dot shirt. 

The pair both wore ‘ICE OUT’ pins to demonstrate their opposition to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

Also in attendance at the awards was Chappell Roan who turned heads in a black sheer sleeveless dress with structured shoulders.

Joni Mitchell wore a black maxi dress with elaborate gold floral embroidery which she paired with black ankle boots.

Paula Abdul turned heads in a lilac, teal and yellow patterned jumpsuit, adding height to her frame with black heels. 

The mother of Dave’s daughter, Jennifer, confirmed to Page Six that her baby was born on August 1, 2024.

She added to the publication that Dave’s last name is listed on the birth certificate.

The rocker’s daughter lives with her mother in Los Angeles and often takes their daughter for walks in their neighbourhood. 

Insiders told the Daily Mail how Dave and Jordyn have worked hard to overhaul their marriage, enduring months of counselling sessions and implementing strict rules to allow her to keep tabs on her philandering spouse in a desperate bid to rebuild trust.

‘Jordyn was shocked and publicly embarrassed when she found out about his cheating,’ one insider said. ‘But despite most of her friends advising her to divorce Dave, she decided not to do anything rash.

‘After careful consideration they entered couples therapy for around six months. It helped them to get to the good place they’re at now.’

Their seemingly solid marriage – and Dave’s ‘nicest guy in rock image’ – were shattered in September 2024 when the Foo Fighters frontman revealed he had secretly fathered a fourth daughter.

‘I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,’ he wrote in a shock statement posted to Instagram. ‘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.’

That trust seemed hard to build, with Dave and Jordyn soon pictured without their wedding rings amid reports that the rocker had consulted a divorce attorney.

But for now, at least it seems, divorce is not on the cards – on the proviso that Grohl abides by Blum’s list of conditions.

‘When this happened, it hit the fan and they almost split up,’ a second insider said.

‘She gave a whole list of conditions to stay together. She now has his location on her phone. She knows where he is and what he’s doing. She can look at his phone at any time. But it goes both ways, she shares her location as well. They keep tabs on each other.

‘Dave started keeping more normal hours. Spending the night at home rather than on the road. He knows that she can – and has – surprised him with visits when he’s traveling. It’s a very short leash. The boundaries have not loosened up – he’s still very much on thin ice.’

Dave, who has often been described as a ‘family man,’ has talked frequently over the years about how important family has been for him, claiming his wife and children are the ‘anchors that keep me from completely disappearing’.

Prior to meeting Jordyn, Dave’s checkered rock star past was plagued with rumours – and admissions – of infidelity.

He divorced his first wife Jennifer Leigh Youngblood in 1997 after admitting to cheating. Reflecting on their three-year marriage in 1999, he said: ‘I was 25, my wife was even younger. We weren’t ready to get married.’

He then dated Louise Post from the band Veruca Salt – who accused him of cheating on her with a handful of women.

For Blum, the infidelity was not enough to break them, and she is now focusing on returning to the ‘life they had before,’ but with ‘no real wish to see Dave’s new child’ only time will tell if they’ll be able to navigate his new co-parenting duties.

‘Dave has a presence in his daughter’s life, and he has set up her financially. He has limited contact with Jennifer, but things are amicable. He does spend time with the baby when he can, and a time-sharing plan has been set up. Jennifer has the baby most of the time.

‘The plan is that their daughter will grow up knowing her half-siblings.’

One other insider added: ‘Jordyn has no relationship with Jennifer, and doesn’t care to. She has to have a relationship with his daughter, and she doesn’t resent that. It was a pretty huge betrayal, and even Dave acknowledges that. He knows that she deserved to be angry. So we’ll see where it goes, but for now they’re thriving.’ 

The Daily Mail contacted representatives for Grohl and Blum for comment.
