Grohl, 55, and Blum, 48, were last seen in public together on July 2, when they attended the famed tennis tournament in London together. The pair were photographed smiling and laughing, and even chatted with Duran Duran rocker Simon Le Bon from their seats in the coveted Royal Box.
The outing came two months before Grohl announced on Tuesday, Sept. 10, that he had recently welcomed a baby girl with another woman.

Jordyn Blum and Dave Grohl at Wimbledon on July 2.“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,” he wrote in a statement shared to Instagram. “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.”
A source told PEOPLE that the Foo Fighters rocker retained a divorce attorney before sharing his baby news with the world.
Grohl and Blum, co-founder of the interior design team Hollis Jordyn Design, celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary in August. They’re parents to daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.
In the wake of their dad’s announcement, Violet seemingly deactivated her Instagram accounts, though it remains unclear when she did so.

Grohl and Blum first met in 2001, and dated casually before going their separate ways. But when Grohl’s now-late bandmate Taylor Hawkins went into a brief coma that same year following an overdose on painkillers, it inspired Grohl to rethink things.
“I had decided I didn’t want to get serious about a relationship because I was single and I was running around — I was free,” he told Teen People in 2003. “But that was the first thing I thought about when Taylor came out of [his coma]: I had met the woman that I should marry and have children with and I hadn’t talked to her in months. She said, ‘You’re the last person I thought I’d ever hear from again.’ And I said, ‘Hey, let’s go to dinner.’”
The pair tied the knot in 2003 at their home in Los Angeles.
