Dave Grohl’s admission in an Instagram post on Tuesday, September 10, that he has a fourth daughter from an affair sent shockwaves through his fans. Many people believed he wouldn’t act as stereotypically as a rock star due to his 21-year marriage to wife Jordyn Blum. While Blum has remained silent on the news, she’s reportedly leaning on her celebrity friend for advice.

Grohl’s wife is good friends with Kate Hudson, who, according to the magazine, was “disgusted” when she heard about the Foo Fighters frontman’s affair. Daily Mail“She was surprised and disgusted that Dave, at his age, was cheating on not only Jordyn but also her girls,” an insider told the British broadcaster. The couple has three daughters together: Violet (18), Harper (15) and Ophelia (10). Hudson reportedly sent a “huge basket of balloons with personal sayings on them, including ‘stay strong'” to cheer everyone up.

“Kate told Jordyn that she is there for her 24/7 and not to hesitate to pick up the phone, even if she just needs to cry or she needs to come over for a hug and a candid conversation,” the source added. “Kate would stay with her in a heartbeat if she asked.” It’s unclear how long the two have been friends, but Hudson has close ties to the music scene, having been married to Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson, formerly engaged to Muse singer Matt Bellamy, and currently engaged to Danny Fujikawa.

Hudson is known for being a go-to friend, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Matthew McConaughey. She told Good + Good in February 2022 why friendships are so important to her, especially post-pandemic. “I think what’s happening, based on the people I’m connected with, is that we’ve all become a little more insular – we all like being in our homes and have found that we’re comfortable there,” she explained. “If you’re feeling disconnected, maybe you should ask yourself if you’re cultivating the right friendships.”

It sounds like Blum is turning to the right friend who can offer her support, especially during a time as traumatic as this one that is being covered in the press. Grohl shared in his social media statement: “I recently became the father of a baby girl, born outside of my marriage,” he wrote. “I plan to be a loving and supportive father to her. I love my wife and children and am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We are grateful for your consideration of all the children involved as we move forward together.” The identity of Grohl’s lover and mother of his child has not been disclosed.
