Allen and Alexis married in June 2020. In April 2023, they announced their separation. Then they also announced that they were expecting their third child together.
According to documents obtained by PEOPLE, the “Down Home” singer filed for divorce on April 28, 2023. Alexis filed her own two hours later. Both cited irreconcilable differences.
The following month, Allen publicly apologized to Alexis, writing on social media that he was sorry “for humiliating her with my affair. I’m embarrassed that I embarrassed her with my choices. It’s something she didn’t deserve in the first place.”

He then welcomed his twins with another woman in July 2023.
Allen and Alexis then welcomed their only son, Cohen, together in September; and then in October, Allen’s reps told PEOPLE they had reconciled.
“[The divorce] it was never fully legally implemented,” Allen’s representative said. “They decided to work on things together and are still together.”
