Jimmie Allen and estranged wife Alexis Gale welcome their third child amid their ugly divorce

Embattled country crooner Jimmie Allen and his estranged wife Alexis Gale have welcomed their third child. 

Alexis, 27, shared photos of the newborn who entered the world last week. 

‘Cohen Ace James ♠️ Wednesday Sept 27, 2023 xo’ the registered nurse wrote next to a carousel of photos topped by a snap of the swaddled baby. 

She also shared photos of big sisters Naomi, three and  Zara, almost two, holding their new brother.   

Alexis and the This is Us singer, 38, announced they were expecting the same day they announced their separation back in April after nearly three years of marriage.

‘After much thought and reflection in recent months, Lex & I have made the decision to separate,’ Allen wrote on social media.

‘As we navigate this life change, we can also share that we will be welcoming another child together later this year.’

The joint statement continued, ‘Our number one priority is and always will be ensuring that our children are healthy, happy and loved,’

The pair said at the time, ‘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.’

The post has since been made private or deleted. 

Each cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ in their divorce filings. 

In May, the Best Shot artist was sued by his former manager.

She has accused him of sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, sex trafficking and emotional distress.
