Following his announcement that he had fathered a child outside his marriage, his two eldest daughters both deleted their social media accounts.
Days later, his alleged relationship with porn publisher Annaliese Nielsen, 40, was exposed, with her former friends telling DailyMail.com that she had a 15-year affair with the frontman.
Blum reportedly “turned a blind eye” to Grohl’s behavior during their wedding, but she was able to speak out after the latest bombings.
“Close friends believe she turned a blind eye to Dave’s indiscretions for a long time,” the insider said.
“Now that he’s humiliated her in front of the world with his baby bombshell, she can no longer hide behind the facade of a perfect marriage.”
It was also reported that he recently fell out with Blum over her “flirty” relationship with her married tennis coach Christopher Crabb, in what insiders claimed was an attempt to detract from his own indiscretions.
“Dave Grohl has been jealous of Jordyn’s hot tennis coach for a long time,” an insider previously told DailyMail.com.
‘They had a fight about him and Dave thinks they flirted. Jordyn told him he’s crazy to even think that. But Dave persevered.”
His admission of marital infidelity followed an admission to The Guardian in 2007 that he had also cheated on his first wife, Jennifer Leigh Youngblood.
The two married in 1994 but had separated by 1996, divorcing the following year.

The rock star, who is often described as a “family man,” has spoken about the importance of his family in interviews over the years.
In the same Guardian interview, Grohl said: ‘[My wife] Jordyn and [daughter] Violet are anchors that keep me from disappearing completely.”
In 2012, he told TIME that his family “has changed everything I do.”
He added: “It has changed everything I do. When you have children, you see life through different eyes. You feel the love more deeply and may be a little more compassionate. It’s inevitable that that will end up in your songwriting.’
Although little is publicly known about Blum, People reported that she once appeared on the cover of Teen – after being discovered in a supermarket at the age of 12.
Blum was reportedly working as a producer at MTV when she met the frontman.
But Grohl told Elle in 2007 that he wasn’t ready for a serious relationship when they first met, and stopped calling Blum after a few dates.
He said: ‘After three months I had an epiphany and called her back. She picked up the phone and said, “Oh, I never thought I’d hear from you again.”
