One year after the scandal that shook their marriage, Jordyn Blum and Dave Grohl are going strong.
In September 2024, the Foo Fighters frontman, 56, revealed that he’d welcomed a fourth child “outside of [his] marriage” to Blum, 49, sparking rumors about whether the couple — who met in 2001, wed in 2003 and share three daughters — was heading for a split. A year later, a source tells PEOPLE that the pair are now “very happy.”
“She’s forgiven him,” the source says of Blum. “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 says. Plus, they add, Blum is “surrounded by friends who believe in marriage and encouraged her to fight for it.”
“They’re very happy now,” the source says. “She feels it was all worth fighting for.”

The latest insight into the couple’s marriage comes as they were spotted together in a rare outing in Los Angeles, on Friday, Sept. 5. The pair were photographed while out and about with friends in L.A., where they attended the Supergrass concert at the Hollywood Palladium.
Reps for Grohl did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Saturday, Sept. 6.
In Grohl’s statement announcing that he’d welcomed a baby outside of his marriage in September 2024, the musician said: “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.”
“He knows he messed up,” an insider said at the time. “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.”

The pair — who share daughters Violet Maye, 19, Harper Willow, 16, and Ophelia Saint, 11 — celebrated Christmas as a family in 2024, with a source telling PEOPLE that Blum and Grohl were “trying to move forward” despite some struggles.
“It was just such a shock for Jordyn. Her first instinct was that she wanted a divorce. The betrayal felt too heavy,” the source explained at the time. “But as weeks passed, she got some space to think and it just felt very sad to her if the family would split up.”
The pair were photographed together for the first time since the scandal in February 2025, and stepped out together again in March. Prior to the Supergrass concert in L.A., the couple was most recently spotted at the 2025 Wimbledon Tennis Championships together in July. The sporting event marked their first public event since the baby news.
