Following his admission of fathering a secret child outside of his marriage to Jordyn Blum, his wife of 21 years, Dave Grohl has reportedly “called off” a divorce attorney.
In September, Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters admitted to cheating on his wife Jordyn Bloom and fathering a secret child outside of his marriage.
According to People, the musician is concentrating on resolving issues with Jordyn Blum and their three girls, and divorce is not currently not on the table.

The source claimed: “He’s no longer working with a divorce attorney and instead hoping to work things out with his wife.”
A second source said the star “loves his family” adding: “Dave’s been prioritizing his family. He knows he messed up. It’s one of those situations where you don’t realize what you have until you’re about to lose it. He doesn’t want to lose his family.”
On September 10, the musician posted a social media statement announcing the birth of his daughter and promising to “regain [the] trust” of his wife and their three girls.

Dave Grohl and Jordyn Blum met in 2001 and have been married since 2003.
The pair share three daughters – Violet, Harper and Ophelia.
The statement read: “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.”
The statement continued: “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.”
The 55-year-old has often been described as a “family man” and has repeatedly spoken about the importance of his family in interviews.
In 2007, Dave told The Guardian, “[My wife] Jordyn and [daughter] Violet are anchors that keep me from completely disappearing.”
He added: “It’s changed everything that I do. When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It’s inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting.”
Dave was previously married to Jennifer Youngblood from 1994-1997.
The pair separated in December 1996 and subsequently got divorced in 1997 after Dave admitted to infidelity.
