Things seem to be getting messy for Country Music superstar Jimmie Allen and his estranged wife Alexis Gale.
According to reports, despite being pregnant with their third child, Allen and Gale have chosen to separate. Just four days ago, the couple took to their respective Instagram accounts to share the same statement.
Country Music Star Jimmie Allen Announces Divorce and Pregnancy In Same Statement
“After much thought and reflection in recent months, Lex and I have made the decision to separate,” the statement began. Allen and Gale then shared another bit of news as well.
“As we navigate this life change, we can also share that we will be welcoming another child together later this year. Our number one priority is and always will be ensuring that our children are healthy, happy, and loved, and we remain committed to co-parenting with love and respect for one another. In light of our growing family, we respectfully request privacy during this time.”
Both Gale and Allen turned their comments off their posts.
While neither parent has spoken publicly about their impending divorce since Alexis took to her Instagram Story to share a cryptic message before unfollowing her estranged husband on Instagram.
“The silence is loud enough for me,” she wrote.
The news of their pregnancy comes as a surprise for some of their fans as Jimmie revealed last year that he and Alexis don’t plan on growing their family anymore. “We threw around the idea of maybe having another one in like four years, we thought about it, we tossed around the idea. And then we closed the idea,” he told ET, adding that they feel “outnumbered.”
Jimmie’s oldest son from a previous relationship makes the country singer a soon-to-be father of four. Currently, Jimmie and Alexis share two daughters, 3-year-old Bettie and 17-month-old Zara.
Jimmie and Alexis first met in 2019. They were first introduced to each other through the singer’s cousin. Alexis was preparing to graduate from nursing school at the time.
In an interview with People about the first time they met, Alexis said, Allen “took the time, right before he went on tour, to study with me even though he had no idea what he was doing. And it made me realize — this is someone who really cares about me, who cares about my future even though he’s still working on his.”
From there, their romance was a bit of a whirlwind. “It just happened so fast and we just went full-in, all emotions. I have so much love for him, so much respect. I admire who he is to me and to everybody around him.”
