On September 14, the Daily Mail published an exclusive article claiming that musician Dave Grohl allegedly accused his wife of 21 years Jordyn Blum, a former model, of having a flirtatious relationship with her tennis coach and former actor Christopher Crabb.
A source close to the couple told the outlet how Dave Grohl has been “jealous” for a long time and reportedly blasted his wife for seemingly having a "flirty" relationship with her “hot” tennis instructor. The source further mentioned how it was a desperate effort by the Foo Fighters member to dismiss his alleged infidelity.
"Dave Grohl has been jealous for ages about Jordyn's hot tennis coach. They've had arguments about him, and Dave thinks they've flirted. Jordyn has told him he's crazy to even think that. But Dave has persisted," the insider claimed.
They further went on to add:
“She gets coaching at least three times a week near the family home. Jordyn now believes that Dave has been trying to detract from his own indiscretions by accusing her.”
While the source “insisted” that Christopher Crabb and Jordyn Blum were simply friends and shared a normal coach-student relationship, Dave Grohl came forward with a social media confession that he recently fathered a daughter with another woman.

In brief, exploring Dave Grohl’s recent infidelity admission
Last week, Dave Grohl took to his Instagram and shared that he recently fathered a baby girl outside wedlock, despite still being married to his wife of over two decades Jordyn Blum.
“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. 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 wrote on September 10.
So far, the identity of Dave Grohl’s mistress with whom he shared the latest life update remains undisclosed. However, he has already been a father to his three daughters Violet (18), Harper (15), and Ophelia (10), with his second wife Jordyn Blum.
Meanwhile, a few hours after his public post of having a love child, an Instagram user with the handle @valeriegreyston shared an image of a newborn alleging that it was the former Nirvana member’s daughter, reportedly named Roxie Junie Grohl. The now-deleted post which revealed a baby holding hands with a woman further claimed that the 55-year-old singer-songwriter was active during the pregnancy and that the child bore a resemblance to Grohl.
However, Dave’s spokesperson told TMZ that it was “fake news” and the child on the viral post was not related to him. Notably, the former Scream member has a history of infidelity and reportedly cheated on his first wife Jennifer Leigh Youngblood during three years of marriage.
