Jimmie Allen secretly welcomed twins with another woman amid his divorce from wife Alexis Gale — and the country singer is not “ashamed.”
Amari and Aria made their debut on the 38-year-old’s Instagram Stories on Tuesday as he shared photos with all of his children.
“I have 6 kids,” Allen wrote. “I love each one of them. I refuse to let anyone make me feel ashamed of any of my children. The only opinion I care about is theirs.”
The songwriter did not provide further details on the twins’ maternity.
The songwriter is also the father of son Aadyn, 9, as well as daughter Naomi, 4, daughter Zara, 2, and son Cohen, 5 months, with Gale.
The former couple welcomed their youngest in September 2023, six months after both filing for divorce.
“After much thought and reflection in recent months, Lex & I have made the decision to separate,” Allen wrote in an April 2023 statement. “As we navigate this life change, we can also share that we will be welcoming another child together later this year.
“Our No. 1 priority is and always will be ensuring that are children are healthy, happy and loved, and we remain committed to coparenting with love and respect for one another,” he concluded. “In light [of] our growing family, we respectfully request privacy during this time.”
At the time, Allen was being sued by his former manager for sexual assault, which he claimed was actually a consensual “sexual relationship.” She dropped the lawsuit last week
The “Down Home” singer apologized to Gale, 28, in April 2023 for “humiliating her with [his] affair” in a since-deleted Instagram post.
“I’m embarrassed that my choices have brought shame on her,” he wrote at the time. “That’s something that she did not deserve at all.”
Allen also issued his children an apology, calling himself a “poor example of a man and a father.”
He concluded, “I’m working on becoming a better person that my kids can be proud of. My goal is to be better than the generation before me.”
By October 2023, Gale and Allen were back “together,” his rep revealed in a statement, writing that their divorce proceedings were “never fully seen through legally.”
While Gale and Allen have not commented on the status of their relationship since, the nurse said in a cryptic Instagram video Tuesday that “people tell on themselves, they show you who they are [and] they always expose themselves.”
