Dave Grohl and wife Jordyn Blum make first public appearance after love child
The American musician, 56, rose to fame as the drummer in 1990s grunge band Nirvana before forming internationally popular rock band Foo Fighters.
Grohl shocked fans in 2024 after admitting to cheating on wife of 22 years Blum, 49, and fathering a child outside of wedlock with 38-year-old Jennifer Young.
Divorce attorneys were reportedly called into action and then called off, with Grohl and Blum apparently keen to work through their relationship problems.
And those problems appeared to be at the very back of their minds as they made their first public appearance since the affair revelations at the Wimbledon tennis championships.
The annual meeting is the oldest tennis competition in the world and attracts celebrities from around the globe to sample in some sunshine, strawberries, and world class sport.
Grohl and Blum put on a united front and were more than dressed for the occasion, with the renowned drummer opting for a navy blue suit and a pale purple tie at the event today.
Blum opted for a light pink suit jacket and flared trousers, while both of them chose to wear oversized sunglasses for the tennis tournament which has seen temperatures north of 30 degrees Celsius since starting on Monday.
It marked quite the change from the last time the pair were publicly spotted together, which was at the 2024 Wimbledon championships.
A TikTok clip featuring Grohl and a reporter went viral after he appeared to get a little snippy when asked questions about who would win the tennis tournament.
Dave refused to speak to the sports journalist who simply asked him who might win Wimbledon, with others putting his avoidance down to a lack of tennis knowledge.
Asked for his predicted Wimbledon winners, the former Queens of the Stone Age drummer responded with a 'What?' before adding that he had 'no clue' who would win the men's final.
When asked about the women's final instead, he kept his cards similarly close to his chest and only revealed that he 'couldn't say' who might win.
The two were all smiles on that occasion despite what was occurring behind closed doors, and the pair looked similarly proud to be alongside each other this year too. More Trending
Grohl and Blum were married in 2003 and share three daughters – Violet who was born in 2006, Harper who was born in 2009, and Ophelia who was born in 2014.
While this is the first time the two have been spotted together at a public event since deciding to give their marriage another go, it's the second time they've been seen out and about.
They wore smiles on their faces out in Los Angeles during a sighting in March. While they were not holding hands, they did walk close to one another and seemed relaxed in the other's company.

The Sean 'Diddy' Combs verdict attracted a spectacle of influencer stunts and tricks
The verdict in Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex-trafficking trial attracted what you'd expect at the end of a high-profile celebrity court case in New York: dozens of news camera crews, hundreds of curious bystanders and a mass showing of law enforcement. Overshadowing them all was a sea of influencers, content creators and provocateurs, who came out en masse for the trial's verdict on Wednesday. Combs was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, but found guilty of lesser charges. The streets surrounding the federal courthouse in downtown Manhattan attracted stunts that included hostile — and livestreamed — debates, Diddy-inspired costumes and celebrants spraying one another with baby oil (which Combs' use of in various sex acts was a frequent topic of testimony). The spectacle was the latest example of how high-profile celebrity trials with real-world consequences have become the perfect breeding ground for online content creators to go viral online. 'It's been great. I've been able to monetize incredibly,' Armon Wiggins told NBC News. 'I've gone viral exponentially, all over TikTok, YouTube. I've landed, you know, talk show placements on TMZ.' Wiggins posts videos with witty commentary on pop culture on YouTube, amassing more than 285,000 subscribers. He temporarily moved to New York from Los Angeles in May to cover the trial daily, posting breakdowns of the daily proceedings on his YouTube and TikTok channels. Wiggins said he's gained more than 60,000 YouTube subscribers since he started covering the trial. Similarly, Michelle Bracey of Manhattan found her niche covering Combs' trial. As with Wiggins, Bracey attended the trial daily and posted her independent analyses on her TikTok account, miss_knockout, cultivating a following for her humorous takes. When the trial began, she said she had 9,000 followers on TikTok. She now has more than 40,000. "This is a life-changing moment for me personally," she said. "This opened up the doors to a lot of things, like my music, people offering me shows, people offering me stuff for my music." Bracey said she tries to keep her work "professional" and avoids the pitfalls of other content creators whom described as "clout chasers," pointing to several antics throughout the day. Roughly an hour after the verdict was announced, a group of people who appeared to support Combs' partial acquittal danced and sprayed one another with baby oil. Video NBC News captured of the celebration shows a woman removing a wig while a man drizzled baby oil on her from a nearby ledge. The participants were largely framed online as fans of Diddy. Most of them appeared to be influencers and new media figures who were there to create content. The woman in the video appears to be an influencer who goes by the alias Crackhead Barney and has more than 114,000 followers on Instagram. Crackhead Barney did not immediately return a request for comment. In one video outside the courthouse, the woman asks Sneako, a streamer who has nearly 1 million followers on X and has been tied to the rapper Ye, to pour baby oil on her, and Sneako offered small bottles of baby oil to fans. Wiggins also took part in the baby oil spectacle. Throughout the day, two men with opposing views on the Combs conviction also drew particular attention. One man in a denim jacket and sunglasses questioned a man in a red shirt and bucket hat on whether Combs is going to prison. The man in denim yelled that 'he beat her," referring to Combs' longtime girlfriend Cassie Ventura who testified at the trial. 'It doesn't matter,' the man in red said. 'He beat her, he kicked her,' the man in denim shouted. 'And she liked it, how about that?' the man in red screamed back. Ventura testified that Combs beat her on multiple occasions and text messages showed she confronted him several times over it. After he attacked her at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016, Ventura wrote to Combs that she was not a rag doll, she's 'somebody's child,' according to messages entered into evidence. Other celebrity legal battles, including the defamation suit between actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard and the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion by fellow rapper Tory Lanez, have similarly provided an opening for online creators. Some of the influencers who spoke with NBC News on Wednesday said that, now that the Combs trial had concluded, they plan to cover other high-profile cases, including the ongoing legal battle between actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni and the case against Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. "This is just the very beginning, and it will evolve," Wiggins said. "And I think at some point, the courts will have to adjust to that too, you know, and they will have to section off spaces for influencers."

Dennis Rodman's loved-up daughter Trinity gazes at tennis star boyfriend Ben Shelton during his Wimbledon match
US Soccer star Trinity Rodman lovingly gazed at tennis star boyfriend Ben Shelton from her front-row seat during his second-round Wimbledon matchup on Thursday. Dennis Rodman's daughter and the American tennis dynamo hard-launched their relationship in March, a few months after Shelton competed in the Australian Open. Last month, Trinity was also in attendance at the French Open, watching her man make a run to the Round of 16, departing the field after a loss to Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros before his all-time classic against Jannik Sinner. In London, Rodman wore a stripped, long-sleeve shirt, not adhering to the all-white clothing requirement given to Shelton and the rest of the competitors. As Shelton came near his girlfriend in between points, as she looked up at him in admiration, believing he could do no wrong. Shelton, the No 10 seed, was well on his way to winning his match on Thursday against Australian Rinky Hijikata before play was suspended, one game away from the American being triumphant. The way Trinity Rodman looks at Ben Shelton 🥺 — ESPN (@espn) July 3, 2025 US Soccer star Trinity Rodman lovingly gazed at tennis star boyfriend Ben Shelton Dennis Rodman's daughter and the tennis star hard-launched their relationship in March Shelton was livid with the decision to end his match 91 minutes before the tournament's curfew. The match will continue Friday morning with Shelton up 6-2, 7-5, 5-4, with the likely little work needed to advance to the final 32 in men's singles being a nuisance. Rodman, far from a bother, is dealing with a back injury and has no timeline for a return to the field. That is why she is not in camp with the United States women's national team, which defeated Canada 3-0 last night in Washington DC. Shelton is part of the current American renaissance, alongside Frances Tiafoe, Tommy Paul, and Taylor Fritz, chasing the likes of Sinner, Alcaraz, and Novak Djokovic for major titles. With plenty of upsets already taking place in the men's singles draw at Wimbledon, the stars could align for a first major title for Shelton, only five wins away.

Horror fans ‘terrified' after disturbing VHS recordings appear in US towns
Horror film fans are going to be sleeping with one eye open after a series of very disturbing VHS recordings started appearing in the US. Users on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok are still desperately seeking answers for the unexplained videos… but it seems no one can help. In a number of States, people are discovering VHS tapes featuring three hours of different horror scenes, which they reckon could be part of some new twisty marketing campaign for an upcoming movie. Having taken to social media to exchange findings and theories, it was soon realised that the videos all showed the same footage, which has also appeared on YouTube. On YouTube, we can see that the three-hour, 42-minute-long feature has been filmed in black and white and with night vision cameras. Titled 'WHITEFACE' and uploaded on June 27 in a bid to attract people with more knowledge, the VHS has already clocked up 1,000 views on the one platform alone. In the description, the uploader notes six locations where tapes have been found so far. These include a Hollywood video store, a bar in Nashville, a thrift store in Orlando, and an art gallery in Virginia. Meanwhile, over on TikTok, horror fanatics are losing their minds with all the speculation. TikToker Nicolas Curcio's video, currently with over 18,000 likes, sees him dissect the events, describing it as: 'This is either one of the best art projects ever or a case of the possible first-ever real found footage horror film.' For context, 'found footage horror' is a subgenre of horror films that 'uses a style of filmmaking characterised by the use of 'discovered' video recordings.' The recordings are typically presented as if they were made by the characters themselves. It's a genre that has had huge commercial success in the past, famous examples being 2007's Paranormal Activity, 2014's Creep, and, more recently, Late Night with the Devil, released in 2024. The TikTok creator goes on to say the discovered VHS footage does not contain any recognisable actors, but it mostly appears to be just a guy with a white-painted face wandering around LA. At one point, he's around Universal Studios. In some of the creepier moments, he films random people or even follows them home and into unlocked houses, harassing one woman at a bus stop for 30 minutes as she tries to ignore him. While some believe the whole thing is 'fake', others think it could be a student film that's made its way online. However, sceptics reckon it's even too amateurish for that, given that 'Whiteface' has no titles or end credits, nor is it edited. In the comments of the semi-viral TikTok video, people had plenty of thoughts. '$5 this is viral marketing for a movie that's going to drop later this year', declared @portiaisheeere. 'feels very fake especially 2 being found at similar times, starting on reddit and no real footage', @gargledmesh countered. 'it's 3 hours long and back in the day it was hard to edit tape to tape, so it could be an unfinished project – therefore even the lack of credits. now anyone can edit just on their phones, back then it was a different story', speculated @thedearone_. 'Quite clearly viral marketing for a movie lol nothing will ever top Blair witch though these companies have been trying to mimic it for years gets boring when everytime the film they're trying to get you to watch is boring', @bluish vented. The Blair they were referring to is, of course, 1999's horror/mystery movie The Blair Witch Project, which followed three students who vanished after venturing into a Maryland forest to film a documentary on the local Blair Witch legend. Only their footage was left behind. At the time, the indie flick had so many people convinced it was actually real, largely thanks to the prior release of a mockumentary titled Curse of the Blair Witch, which was also presented as 100% genuine, featuring interviews with so-called family members of the students and historical experts. More Trending Basically, the doc set the whole thing up, and it took a lot of people a while to realise it was just a marketing ploy, which is what some believe is happening again with Whiteface (2025). Having none of it, however, TikTok's @bbgst blasted: 'why is everyone so doubtful these days, why not just believe instead of thinking its a movie marketing thing or something'.
