Jimmy Allen is confirming that he welcomed two children with another woman amid her ongoing divorce from ex Alexis Gale.
The country singer in trouble took to his Instagram Stories on Tuesday, where he shared photos of himself with all six of his children and shared a message for those who criticized him for his actions.
In the photos, the 38-year-old father posed with his 9-year-old son Aadyn – from a previous relationship – as well as the daughters he shares with his ex-wife, Naomi, 4, and 2-. Zara, one year old.
Additionally, he posed with his 9-month-old twin girls, Aria and Amari — whom he welcomed during his divorce from Gale, who was pregnant when they split. The final photo showed Allen with his and Gale’s 5-month-old son, Cohen.
Allen then shared a message to his critics, writing, “I have 6 children. I love each and every one of them. I refuse to allow anyone to make me feel ashamed of any of my children.”
“The only opinion I care about is theirs,” Allen added.
Gale, however, shared some words of his own, posting a video to his Instagram Story shortly after Allen shared his message. Although she did not address Allen by name, many interpreted her comments as a comment on Allen’s post.
“I’m just going to say that these lies will always catch up with you,” Gale said in the video. “What is done in the dark will always appear in the light. So keep playing.”
“I’m really at the point in my life where I’m just letting God work and not saying anything else. There’s no reason to say shit,” she continued. “People talk about themselves, they show who they are, they always expose themselves. You don’t have to do anything, ever.”
“Something always comes up and happens naturally,” she added. “So I’m just going to stay here, enjoy my damn day and keep pushing.”
gale gave birth to her third child on September 27th.
Allen and Gale announced that they were waiting in April, around the same time, they shared the news of their separation.
“After much thought and reflection over the past few months, Lex and I have made the decision to separate,” Allen shared in a joint statement on Instagram. “As we navigate this life change, we can also share that we will be welcoming another child later this year.”
“Our number one priority is and always will be to ensure our children are healthy, happy and loved, and we remain committed to co-parenting with love and respect for each other,” the post continued.
The separation came so sexual assault accusations against Allen were made public, which he denied – although he admitted to an affair and publicly apologized to his wife in a since-deleted social media post.
Then in October, it was reported that Allen and Gale would give their marriage another try. Your representative said People at the time, “They decided to work together and are still together” and noted that the divorce “was never fully legally finalized.”
The news of Allen having two children with another woman comes just days after the singer’s former manager abandoned her sexual abuse and harassment process against him after an out-of-court settlement.
