Dave Grohl’s wife Jordyn Blum has reportedly ‘forgiven’ him after he fathered a love child with a fan. The 56-year-old Foo Fighters frontman has been married to 48-year-old Jordyn for 22 years and the couple share three daughters.
However, Dave’s shock was replaced by the shocking revelation that he had cheated on Jordyn and become a father once more in September. The rocker stated in a powerful statement that “I’ve just given birth to a new daughter who was born outside of my marriage.”

He continued, “I intend to raise her in a loving and nurturing manner.” I’m making every effort to win their trust and get their pardon because I love my wife and my kids. As we progress together, we’re grateful for your consideration for all the children involved.
The mother of the baby was later revealed to be 38-year-old LA-based music fan Jennifer Young. Though Dave’s ‘disgusted’ wife Jordyn had taken off her wedding ring and called in divorce lawyers in the wake of the scandal, it’s thought the pair are now trying to give their relationship another go.

Jordyn and Dave are said to have spent Christmas as a family and have been spotted in public together several times this year, suggesting their romance is getting back on track. A source told US Weekly: “Jordyn has forgiven Dave and is trying to move on. She is [still] completely devastated by the situation but is standing by his side.”
The source added: “They are going to counselling, and Dave has been doing anything he can to win back Jordyn’s trust. Neither of them wants the family broken.” The Mirror has reached out to reps for the couple for comment.
His children, Violet Maye, 18, Harper Willow, 15, and Ophelia Saint, 10, are his children with his wife, Jordyn, who he married after dating for a few months in 2003, are his children. He is also the father of his seven-month-old daughter, Jennifer.
It was just such a shock for Jordyn, an insider told People at the time. She declared a divorce at first sight. The betrayal weighed too much. But as the weeks went on, she began to reflect, and it only made her feel very sorry if her family split up.
Dave has been giving his family a lot, according to a second source. He is aware of his error. It’s one of those situations where you don’t realize you have it until you’re about to lose it. He is not concerned about losing his family.
Jordyn reportedly “knew” Dave had been unfaithful – but she didn’t realise the extent of his infidelity. The rocker publicly admitted his indiscretion last year after apparently fearing it was going to come out anyway. A source told In Touch Magazine: “He feared the mother or someone else would spill the news. It’s his way to own up that he’s made mistakes.”

One royal expert claims there is a compelling reason why Prince Harry is sensationally resigning as patron of Sentebale, a charity he founded in honor of his late mother Princess Diana.

Prince Harry will be ‘crushed’ about quitting a charity he founded in a bitter row – but it won’t be the last of his philanthropic efforts in Africa, an expert has claimed. Amid a bitter boardroom battle, Harry revealed he has resigned as a patron of Sentebale, a charity in Africa he helped to set up in honour of his late mother Diana, Princess of Wales.
Harry founded the charity Sentebale in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to help young people and children in southern Africa, particularly those living with HIV and Aids. And after his bombshell statement, the chairwoman of the charity appeared to criticise Harry for “playing the victim card”. She also alleged there had been “poor governance, weak executive management, abuse of power, bullying, harassment, misogyny, misogynoir”.

Harry and Prince Seeiso both shared a “heavy heart,” saying he was “in shock” and “truly heartbroken” to be standing down as he supported the charity’s departing trustees, who had also left in a dispute.
But royal biographer Ingrid Seward doesn’t believe this means Harry’s charity work in Africa will be over – and it is down to one important reason. The editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine told the Mirror: “Harry and his friend and joint founder of the charity Prince Seeiso of Lesotho set up Sentebale in 2006 in memory of their late mothers. The romantic name means Forget Me Not in the local language. It has been close to Harry’s heart for 20 years.
Harry has raised money for Sentable every polo match and charity event he has attended, most recently one in New York in December of last year. He must be devastated, no wonder. He was deeply moved by the orphaned Sentable children who were living with various disabilities. Literally . He embraced and embraced them, played football with them, and gave them hugs.

“He took his brother Prince William to Lesotho to see some of the orphans in 2010 when they were still close. Their friend and childhood mentor Mark Dyer, former equerry to their father, was on the board of Trustees. Dubbed a ‘surrogate father’ to Harry, he helped him set up the charity which became so close to his heart.
He frequently mentioned how proud Diana would have been of him when he had established Sentable. How his thinking about helping the young children who were born with Aids was heavily influenced by her memory. Because it was done in her memory, it is especially heartbreaking for him. Today, he will be both depressed and angry. However, his African philanthropy won’t be the last to come out. Harry will never forget Diana’s memory because Harry will never forget it.
When Harry was 19 years old, Harry spent two months in Botswana while he was still in his gap year. This inspired him to start the charity, which is now active there as well. He visited herd boys who live in remote mountain areas and visit Aids orphans who had been living in harsh conditions.

The duke spoke to a group of young people about the “massive difference” Senebale was making while visiting Lesotho and the prince in October. The Charity Commission stated that it was “concerned of concerns about Sentebale’s governance.” The commission stated in a statement that it is assessing the issues and is deciding what are the appropriate regulatory actions to take.

The remix hint comes 17 years after Duffy released her debut album – and 10 years after she was last seen in public. Following its release, the album secured a spot at the top of the UK album charts, where it stayed for five weeks, and became the UK’s third-best-selling single of 2008. Her rise to stardom soon saw her scoop awards for her success, and she won three gongs at the 2009 BRIT Awards including British Breakthrough Act, British Female Solo Artist and British Album of the Year. Rockferry was also crowned Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2009 Grammy Awards.
However, soon after the release of her second album in 2010 the Welsh musician sudddenly retreated from the spotlight. A decade later, Duffy returned to Instagram in February 2020 in which she bravely spoke about being held captive, drugged and raped in a harrowing ordeal, and explained how she finally felt strong enough to discuss what happened to her.
“The truth is, and please trust me I am OK and safe now, I was raped and drugged and held captive over some days. Of course I survived. The recovery took time,” she shared.
The pop star explained that she had wanted to share her story with her fans. She did not name her attacker, but mentioned a journalist had reached out and helped her talk about her pain. She added: “You can only imagine the amount of times I thought about writing this. The way I would write it, how I would feel thereafter.
“Well, not entirely sure why now is the right time, and what it is that feels exciting and liberating for me to talk. I cannot explain it. Many of you wonder what happened to me, where did I disappear to and why. A journalist contacted me, he found a way to reach me and I told him everything this past summer. He was kind and it felt so amazing to finally speak.”
Duffy went on to thank her fans for their kindness, and fondly referred to them as her friends. She continued: “There’s no light way to say it. But I can tell you in the last decade, the thousands and thousands of days I committed to wanting to feel the sunshine in my heart again, the sun does now shine. You wonder why I did not choose to use my voice to express my pain? I did not want to show the world the sadness in my eyes. I asked myself, how can I sing from the heart if it is broken? And slowly it unbroke.”

A few months later, in April 2020, the Distant Dreamer songstress gave further details of the terrifying incident. She recalled a four-week ordeal during which she sad she was drugged in her own home, raped and taken to a foreign country.
The Warwick Avenue hit-maker explained that she didn’t go to the police because it “didn’t feel safe”. Writing on her website five years ago, she explained: “It was my birthday, I was drugged at a restaurant, I was drugged then for four weeks and travelled to a foreign country. I can’t remember getting on the plane and came round in the back of a travelling vehicle. I was put into a hotel room and the perpetrator returned and raped me.”
The star said she then “could have been disposed of by him” and explained how she thought about running away, though was afraid the perpetrator would call the police. “I do not know how I had the strength to endure those days, I did feel the presence of something that helped me stay alive,” she said.
Following the ordeal, Duffy revealed how she was so upset by what happened, she refused to see anybody for weeks and cut all her hair off. “In the aftermath I would not see someone, a physical soul, for sometimes weeks and weeks and weeks at a time, remaining alone,” she wrote. “I would take off my pyjamas and throw them in the fire and put on another set. My hair would get so knotted from not brushing it, as I grieved, I cut it all off.”
As she navigated her trauma, Duffy visited a leading expert where she recalled what had happened for the first time. The singer said she was “so lucky” to have come across the psychologist as she discussed how the ordeal had affected her psychologically. “Without her I may not have made it through. I was high risk of suicide in the aftermath. She got to know me, saw me as a person, learned about me and navigated me. She did it very gently,” she wrote.
After courageously opening up about the ordeal and her recovery, Duffy’s fans inundated her with messages of love and support as they rallied around the star. “It breaks my heart to learn of this. You are unbelievably strong to be moving on from this and so, so brave to tell it. I just wanted to send my love from my little corner of the world,” wrote one.

“All power to you for your strength, recovery and allowing that sparkling sunlight back inside,” another added. A third commented: “Take each day slowly, and you will become even stronger than you were before.”

In an exclusive interview with The Mirror at the Nominal Fashion show, in London, Reuben shared his thoughts on the couple’s new chapter. Reuben, who coupled up with Grace during her first stint on Love Island, had nothing but positive things to say.
He said: “I haven’t specifically met Luca before but he seems cool, he seems like a great guy. Like congrats, like I’m just buzzing for them really.” He also added: “And I like Grace, she’s a good girl, like I expect nothing less for her, she deserves the best.”

Grace and Luca’s romance blossomed after the show, leading to a grand gesture in Abu Dhabi. Luca set up a stunning seaside proposal, featuring white roses, candles, and a neon sign reading: “Will you be my girlfriend?” The moment, which was part of a collaboration with Visit Abu Dhabi, marked the official start of their relationship.

Grace first appeared on Love Island in 2023 before returning for the All Stars season, where she built strong connections. Initially linked to Joey Essex, she later paired up with Reuben Collins in the final weeks. However, their relationship ended shortly after leaving the villa. Grace gave the villa another shot after things didn’t work out with Reuben.
There, she met Luca, and the two instantly connected. There was some tension after bombshell Samie Elishi entered the villa, but Luca quickly shifted his focus back to Grace, and the pair went on to finish as runners-up.

Before joining the show earlier this year, Grace was romantically linked to footballer Marcus Rashford. Back in January, the reality TV star broke her silence on the romance rumours with the footballer, opening up about why the didn’t make it as a couple.
Opening up to co-stars Liv Hawkins and Catherine Agbaje about her romantic history, Grace spoke about her fling with England player Marcus, 27. “We weren’t dating but we were chatting a little bit,” she said.
When Liv asked if they “fancied each other”, Grace continued: “Yeah, but it’s difficult because he can’t go out and just go on a normal date. All these f*****g United fans were commenting thousands of comments on my pictures because they loved me.”
She added that when their romance hit the press, Manchester United fans saw her as Marcus’ lucky charm. “When the article came out, he scored two goals and he hadn’t scored for ages so they were like, ‘You fixed him! Thank you so much, you’re our queen,'” she laughed.

“And then it kind of drifted. I think it went a bit weird when all the articles came out. But I’ve known his brother since I was 17 so he was like, ‘Nah, don’t worry about it. He knows it’s not you.’ But I think it went a bit, it just changed the vibe a bit. Because everyone knew and there wasn’t anything to know.”
Catherine sympathised, saying that it’s “difficult” when romances go public, while Olivia added: “It’s the same as if you and Joey had worked out. That would have been really bait for you.”

Grace went onto reveal that she met up with ex Joey after their time in the Love Island villa last year. “He reached out to me, we didn’t speak for four months.
“Then he texted me and was just like, ‘Can we speak?'” adding that it was “When I saw his name on my phone, I was like [gasps]. I really liked him and I think I’ll always have a soft spot for him. I’ll always care about him.”
