In a joint statement, the couple revealed two announcements on their Instagram. The couple filed for divorce in April 2023 and announced they were expecting another child together by the end of the year.

In the interview with Kathie, Jimmie revealed that he had been friends with Danielle for a long time. In May 2023, Jimmie issued a public apology to Alexis and their children for having an affair.

Apart from the relationship transitions, Allen's former day-to-day manager sued him for assault and sexual abuse. Allen denied these claims and disclosed that he was very disturbed by the accusations.

Jimmie explained that Danielle gave birth to their twins in June 2023, Aria and Amari, amid his separation from Alexis.

"So Danielle was pregnant first because me and Lexi weren't together when Danielle got pregnant. Twins were born first, then me and Lexi decided we wanted to try to work on our relationship."

2024-Present

Jimmie revealed the aftermath of sharing about the twins on Instagram.

"These articles come out, 'Jimmie Allen Gets Married Superfan Pregnant.'"

Jimmie explained that this was far from the truth and defended Danielle by reporting that when they got together, she was not with her husband at that time. For now, Jimmie is focusing on his career and children.

"I am healing and growing for me and my children."

Jimmie Allen has six children, one from his previous relationship, three with Alexis Gale, and two with his friend Danielle.

During the sit-down with Kathie, he also revealed that although he and Alexis Gale tried to get back, it was over as they decided to break up for the second time. Allen revealed that one of his friends advised him to get back into the relationship, but he added that he didn't want to be in the relationship.

"If I know that I don't want to be in a relationship and I don't want to be married, and I know that she's not the person for me, and I'm not the person for her, why would I do that again to her? Why would I do that again to myself?"

Jimmie Allen has clarified his relationship timeline and plans to focus on healing and growing. The singer made history as the first Black artist to launch his career with a No. 1 single on the Billboard Country Airplay chart with his 2018 song Best Shot. The singer is grateful for his relationship with his children and wants to focus on his health and career.
