LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl made a shock announcement on September 10, revealing that he welcomed a child outside of his marriage. 

Sources now claim Grohl's infidelity could potentially lead to a hefty divorce, costing him half of his $300 million fortune. 

The rocker's wife, Jordyn Blum, who was left feeling shattered and confused by his husband's revelation, is stuck wavering between divorce and keeping her family together. The couple, who tied the knot in August 2003, share three daughters, Violet, 18, Harper, 10, and Ophelia, 15.

Insider reveals why Dave Grohl's divorce would be a costly

Jordyn Blum's family and friends have reportedly advised her not to reconcile with Dave Grohl at any cost. Meanwhile, the latter has apparently hired a divorce lawyer in preparation for a difficult settlement.

Talking about the potential financial consequences, an insider shared, "If there’s no forgiving him, it will ultimately mean he’ll be ponying half his fortune to her. Word is, they didn’t have a prenup, as per InTouch Weekly

They added, "He’ll be on the hook for an enormous chunk of change – hundreds of millions given that he’s worth $300 million – then he’ll have to pony up a small fortune with child support payments."

The insider emphasized the gravity of the situation, saying, "It’s the cost of cheating. Dave wants to save the marriage, but at the end of day he’s looking at a cheating bill that’s going to cost him millions if he doesn’t find some miracle."
