Grohl and Blum have been married since 2003 and have three daughters together: Violet, Harper, and Ophelia. Grohl's first marriage to photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood ended in divorce in 1997 amid allegations of infidelity.
The viral post sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many expressing skepticism about its authenticity. Some users pointed out inconsistencies in the post's language and formatting, suggesting it was not written by a native English speaker.

Grohl has remained tight-lipped about the incident, choosing to focus on his family and his music. The Foo Fighters are currently on tour, with dates scheduled through early 2023. Grohl has not commented on whether the allegations will impact the band's performance or schedule.
Blum and Grohl have not publicly addressed the allegations, but they have been spotted together in recent months, attending events such as the Wimbledon tennis match.
As the Foo Fighters continue their tour, Grohl's personal life will undoubtedly remain under scrutiny. However, his fans and supporters will likely stand by him, focusing on his music and his commitment to his family.
