The country star admitted he wasn’t “together” with his estranged wife Lexi when his longtime friend Danielle became pregnant with their fraternal twins, daughter Aria and son Amari.
“I’ve known Danielle for years,” Allen told Kathie Lee Gifford in an emotional interview shared on his YouTube channel. “Way before I became ‘Jimmie Allen.’ And at the time that she got pregnant with the twins, I wasn’t with Lexi, and [Danielle] wasn’t with her husband.”

“But it’s interesting just watching how life happens, whether you plan it or whether you’re ready for it or not.”
Allen explained, “Danielle was pregnant first, because me and Lexi weren’t together when Danielle got pregnant. Twins were born first,” he said of the pair, which arrived in June 2023.

Allen is also father to son Aadyn, nine, from a previous relationship.
He said that when the news of his twins’ birth was announced, the truth soon turned into lies.
“I decided to post my twins on my Instagram, and it went everywhere,” he said. “These articles come out, ‘Jimmie Allen Gets Married Superfan Pregnant.’ That couldn’t be farther from the truth.
“She’s not a superfan. She’s a friend. And she wasn’t with her husband and I wasn’t with my wife.”
