Jimmie Allen and Alexis Gale, who are currently separated, have recently celebrated the arrival of their third child together. Gale, 27, shared photos of their newborn, named Cohen Ace James, on Instagram on Monday, October 2. The heartfelt slideshow also featured their daughters, Naomi (3) and Zara (23 months), bonding with their new sibling.
The family's latest member arrived approximately six months following the announcement of Allen, 38, and Gale's impending divorce and third child. In April, Allen stated, "After careful consideration and reflection, Lex and I have chosen to separate. While we embark on this new chapter, we are also thrilled to announce that we will be welcoming another child into our lives later this year."
The message stated: "Our utmost focus is and will always be the well-being and happiness of our children. We are fully committed to co-parenting with love and respect. With the expansion of our family, we kindly ask for privacy at this time."
In May, Allen faced allegations of sexual assault from his former manager, followed by another accusation from an anonymous woman in June. He vehemently denied both claims and filed countercharges against them in July. Allen also expressed remorse to Gale, asserting that his involvement with his former manager was consensual.
"I deeply regret and sincerely apologize to my wife Alexis for the immense humiliation I caused her through my affair. I am truly ashamed that my actions have tarnished her reputation, something she absolutely did not deserve," he expressed through a heartfelt social media statement.

Introduced by one of Allen's relatives in early 2019, the former couple swiftly formed a strong connection. Following a whirlwind romance, Allen proposed to Gale at Disney World in July that same year.
Expressing her joy, Gale took to Instagram and wrote, "Does this mean I truly get the opportunity to spend the rest of my life with you?! Yesterday, I accepted forever." Accompanying her words was a photo of the ring, as she continued, "I am at a loss for words and incredibly fortunate to call this remarkable man my fiancé."
The couple discovered that they were going to have their first child together. They welcomed their daughter Naomi in March 2020, almost a year before they got married in May 2021.
Allen, who also has a son named Aadyn from a previous relationship, explained to Entertainment Tonight in August 2021 that the main reason he wanted to get married was to ensure that his wife and children would be taken care of in case something happened to him.

"I'm excited to learn something new," Allen expressed to Us when discussing his experience of becoming a father for the third time. "Being a parent has taught me so much about myself, and each child presents unique challenges."

The Dancing With the Stars participant stated, "The challenging aspect of my patience was brought to light by my son. He is an exact replica of me and the difficulties I imposed on my parents and the hardships they endured. My daughter, Naomi, played a significant role in helping me fully embrace the concept of protection. While I was already a protective person, she pushed me to a new level. Although my wife believes I am excessively overprotective, I believe it is better to be prepared than to have to scramble at the last minute."
