"As weeks passed, she got some space to think and it just felt very sad to her if the family would split up," the source added.

The couple’s marriage remains strained, but efforts to mend their relationship continue. "They are trying to move forward," the insider said.

Grohl, 55, and Blum, 48, have been married since 2003 and share three daughters—Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.

He further asked for privacy, saying, "We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together."

Reports later indicated that Grohl had stepped back from divorce proceedings and was concentrating on fixing his marriage.

"He’s no longer working with a divorce attorney and instead hoping to work things out with his wife," a source told People.

The Foo Fighters also canceled their performance at the Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut, scheduled for September 29. The band currently has no engagements planned as Grohl focuses on his family.
