Jimmie Allen & Fiancee Welcome Daughter
Jimmie Allen and his fiancee, Alexis Gale, welcomed their baby girl, Naomi Betty Allen, in Nashville on Sunday, March 1st.
The birth coincided with news of Jimmie’s second career Number One hit, “Make Me Want To,” topping both the Billboard and Mediabase charts this week.
“Super thankful for my radio team, management, band, label and booking agency on their hard work and never giving up on the song. My co-writers, Paul Sikes and Jennifer Denmark are special talents with great hearts, I love them dearly. To everyone at Country radio THANK YOU for supporting this song. The cool thing is I thought the best part of day would be getting a No. 1, but a few hours later my daughter, Naomi was born. The baby and momma are doing great. March 1st will forever be my favourite day. Never give up on your dreams or yourself. Love always wins.”
Naomi joins five-year-old big brother Aadyn, who is from Jimmie’s previous relationship.
Jimmie said he’s a little bit nervous about raising a girl, but he did get some unsolicited advice from a woman while out one day and, although unexpected, he says since then he’s heard it a couple more times.
“She was like, ‘One (bit of) advice — wipe down.’ And I didn’t get it. I was like, ‘Oh (snaps). Got it!’ Cause with my son it don’t matter. You just wipe, wipe, wipe, do your thing (laughs). I’ve heard that three times.”
Jimmie and Alexis are set to tie the knot in May.
