Dave Grohl enjoys Wimbledon with wife months after lovechild bombshell
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has been spotted at Wimbledon alongside his glamorous wife, Jordyn Blum. It marks the first time the couple have made a joint appearance since news broke of Grohl's secret child with another woman. It's been nearly a year since their last tournament visit in July, when Dave seemed 'snappy and irritated'—a reaction unknown then to fans, who weren't aware of what was unfolding behind the scenes. The truth came to light in August, when the Foo Fighters frontman, 56, welcomed a daughter named Roxie Junie Grohl with Jennifer Young, 38, a fan based in Los Angeles. Dave owned up to the affair in a public apology last September. Despite the shock, the couple has been working to mend their family. By February, insiders revealed that Jordyn, 49, had 'forgiven' her husband. Attending Wimbledon's day three this Wednesday, the pair sat side by side in the prestigious Royal Box—showing a united front after months of public scrutiny. Dave's admission rocked fans: 'I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.' The statement arrived just hours after an Instagram post purported to show baby Roxie went viral—though a representative insisted the photo was fake. Also in the mix was news that Dave had consulted with a divorce lawyer prior to going public about the affair. This is Dave's second marriage. He was previously wed to photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood from 1994 until their split in 1997. The Guardian once noted that 'admitted infidelities led to his divorce' from Jennifer. Dave later reflected in a 1999 interview: 'I was 25, my wife was even younger. We weren't ready to get married. I miss her a tonne, she's the funniest goddamn weirdo you ever met… It would have been better had we not got married. But you live and you learn.' After splitting from his first wife, Dave fell for former MTV producer Jordyn. He told Elle magazine that their early dates didn't spark commitment. 'I wasn't ready for a serious relationship,' he admitted. But three months later, he had a change of heart and affection rekindled his romance. This is a breaking showbiz news story.

Queensland Reds 12 British & Irish Lions 52: Maro Itoje leads by example as tourist make it two from two in Australia
The Lions were hit by the late withdrawal Queensland Reds 12 British & Irish Lions 52: Maro Itoje leads by example as tourist make it two from two in Australia Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MARO ITOJE led from the front as his Lions made it two from two on Australian soil with his tourists hit the Reds for an eight-try half century. But Andy Farrell's men had a late injury worry when Elliot Daly, himself a late call-up to the starting XV, went off with an arm injury after 66 minutes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Maro Itoje celebrates with a team-mate Luke Cowan-Dickie Credit: AFP And Itoje went down after a blow on the shoulder late on but carried on to ensure his side got over the line safely. Daly was attempting a tackle on home full-back Jock Campbell when he pulled up holding his left arm and was replaced then later seen with blood coming from a bandage on the limb. Itoje was everywhere for the Lions, dominating the line outs, bossing the breakdown and scoring a try in the second half. There were other pluses for boss Andy Farrell with fly-half Finn Russell conducting the backs and England wing Tommy Freeman scoring twice in another powerful display and Jac Morgan won the battle on the deck. The Lions were hit by the late withdrawal of Ireland full-back Hugo Keenan, who was listed as sick, and Daly was parachuted in from outside the 23 to start. Keenan has not played on the tour so far, after a calf injury, but is expected to be fit to face the Waratahs in Sydney on Saturday with time running out to make a claim for a Test spot. That means the versatile Saracen has been named in a Lions 23 for the last 11 games stretching back to the tourists' opening game in South Africa in 2021. The Lions led 21-21 at the break but had been given the hurry-up by a Reds side who drew first blood through former Wasps prop Jeff Toomaga-Allen on seven minutes. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS But Freeman, with a neat finish, got the Lions back in it, but Queensland centre Josh Flook made the most of a bounce that bamboozled Duhan van der Merwe to get the hosts in front. Itoje's side then returned fire with a double salvo from prop Andrew Porter and Van der Merwe before the skipper stormed over off a short pass from Jamison Gibson-Park on 44 minutes. Morgan, now the only Welsh player left on tour, finished it as a contest when he hit a strong line off Alex Mitchell's pass to cap a great evening for the Osprey. Freeman grabbed a second and Huw Jones ran in from 50 metres before Daly was forced off but the Lions were home and hosed.

Nick Kyrgios calls out Wimbledon bosses for mistake over 148-year tradition
Nick Kyrgios believes Wimbledon bosses have made a mistake at this year's Championships for ending a 148-year tradition at the tournament. The outspoken Australian tennis star was unable to compete in SW19 this year and was not named in the BBC's punditry team for Wimbledon 2025. Kyrgios, a runner-up in the Wimbledon men's singles in 2022, has instead been working for talkSPORT to share his views on various tennis subjects. One of the big talking points at Wimbledon this year has been the decision to get rid of line judges, who've been replaced by electric line calling. Up to 18 cameras – developed by HawkEye – are now situated around each court to track the progress of the ball and determine whether it is in or out. They have replaced the 300 line judges that have been used for the past 148 years, with Wimbledon now using the same technology as other Grand Slam events. Asked whether he would miss Wimbledon's line judges, Kyrgios told talkSPORT: 'I will, I will. 'I actually had a conversation about this yesterday. I think Wimbledon should never change any rule. 'It should be the only tournament that holds every tradition that ever started in tennis. I think every other week can have electronic line calling, but I wish Wimbledon kept it the same. 'It's been 148 years with human line calls. I think they could have got to 150 and done a big anniversary challenge. 'Personally, I think it would have been cool to have traditions of tennis never change at Wimbledon. But the tennis world's not going to listen to me.' Former British No.1 Tim Henman, meanwhile, has defended Wimbledon's decision to adopt electric line calling. 'When you look at the technology within the sport, every event on the ATP Tour is going to have electric line calling this year,' he said in a roundtable which Metro attended. 'If Wimbledon took a decision to keep line judges I think that would have looked very bizarre at just one event. 'Look, I completely appreciate, and Wimbledon is very aware, of the eco-system with line judges. Where do our umpires come from? Where do the referees at junior tournaments come from? 'That is a very important eco-system so we all need to be aware of that. But when you look at the tech that's available with electric line calling, I think it's absolutely the right decision.'
