Dave Grohl No Longer Working with Divorce Lawyer After Welcoming Secret Baby: 'He Knows He Messed Up' (Exclusive Sources)

Dave Grohl and wife Jordyn Blum are taking steps toward a reconciliation.

The Foo Fighters rocker, 55, retained a divorce attorney shortly before announcing in September that he’d become the father of a new baby with another woman, a source told PEOPLE at the time — but now, an insider says he’s changed his tune.

“He’s no longer working with a divorce attorney and instead hoping to work things out with his wife,” the insider says.

Though Grohl and Blum, 48, have both been spotted without their wedding rings in recent weeks, the musician said in his initial statement that he and his wife of 21 years would “move forward together” after the shock baby announcement.

A second source tells PEOPLE that the rocker “loves his family,” which includes Blum and their daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10, and is doing what he can to keep things intact.

“Dave’s been prioritizing his family,” the source says. “He knows he messed up. It’s one of those situations where you don’t realize what you have until you’re about to lose it. He doesn’t want to lose his family.”

In his statement in September, Grohl wrote that he planned to “be a loving and supportive parent” to his new baby daughter, but was working hard to make things right with his wife and older girls.

“I love my wife and children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness,” he wrote.

Though Grohl and Blum have not publicly addressed the state of their marriage, multiple sources told PEOPLE that Blum, co-founder of an interior design firm, has known about the baby “for a while.”

Still, the Blum source noted that she is a “great mom and very dedicated to their daughters.”

Foo Fighters have no upcoming tour dates on the horizon. The Grammy-winning rock band pulled out of a planned festival appearance in Bridgeport, Conn. on Sept. 29, and their slot was ultimately filled by Jack White.

"Foo Fighters will no longer be appearing at this weekend's Soundside Music Festival," the band wrote on Instagram.
