Jimmie Allen’s estranged wife, Alexis Gale, posted a cryptic message about “silence” just three days after announcing her split from the country star.
“The silence is loud enough for me,” Gale, 27, wrote atop a black screen on her Instagram Story Monday, per Us Weekly.
However, it’s unclear what she could be referring to since Allen has been quite active on social media promoting his new single, “be alright!.”
The message comes just after the former couple announced they were going their separate ways — and expecting their third child — on social media last week.
“After much thought and reflection in recent months, Jimmie & I have made the decision to separate,” the mother of two wrote. “As we navigate this life change, we can also share that we will be welcoming another child together later this year.”
“Our number one priority is and always will be ensuring that our children are healthy, happy and loved, and we remain committed to co-parenting with love and respect for one another,” she continued. “In light of our growing family, we respectfully request privacy during this time.”
Jimmie, 37, shared a nearly identical message on his Instagram.
The pair, who wed in 2020, share daughters Naomi, 3, and Zara, 1. The singer also has an 8-year-old son, Aadyn, from a previous relationship.
The soon-to-be exes met in 2019 after being introduced through family members. They secretly tied the knot one year later during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pair were finally able to celebrate with friends and family during a larger ceremony in May 2021.
The “Freedom Was a Highway” crooner had previously admitted that he “never wanted to get married” until meeting Gale.
“I wanted to be a dad and do music, that’s it,” he explained to People in August 2021. “The whole husband thing was not something I ever wanted to do. But Alexis changed that. Now, I like it. It gives me some security.”
He also previously claimed the pair had no intention of expanding their brood, telling Entertainment Tonight he and Gale already “feel outnumbered” by their kids.
“Oh, I am done,” he said of having another child at the time.
