In a new interview Jimmie admits he was never cut out for marriage and was hurt by his manager's betrayal because he thought she cared about him...

Jimmie Allen is being honest about his 2023 divorce from estranged wife Alexis.
In a sit-down with Kathie Lee Gifford on Tuesday, April 23, the country singer, 38, opened up about his state of mind when he and Lexi married in 2020 and again publicly in 2021. He said he knew he wasn’t ready for marriage, but felt pressured by those around him.
“When I got married, I knew I wasn't ready to be a husband,” Allen said. “But I was at this point in my life where it felt like I should do that because I heard constantly, ‘You should be married, you should be this.’”
He explained that his family knew Lexi’s family, so it was easier to jump into the commitment. However, Allen wishes he had taken more time in the dating phase since he feels like “right off the bat” he would have realized that he was not capable of the commitment.
“Prioritizing my wife’s needs over my career — I wasn’t in a place to do that, and I felt like I wasn’t in a place for faithfulness either,” the CMA winner admitted.
At that stage in life, Allen said he was focused on being a dad to his now 9-year-old son Aadyn and growing in his career as a musician, actor and TV host. He confessed that he regrets not being honest with Lexi sooner.
“I never really had the dream to be a husband,” Allen said. “I feel like [being honest] would’ve saved her heartbreak and saved her time, and she could’ve had the opportunity then to go find someone for her.”
He added, “I felt like I was not only unfair to her, but unfair to myself when it comes to the relationship side.”
Allen was also vulnerable about his infidelity, admitting to cheating on his wife throughout their marriage.
“For the longest time in my head I remember thinking, ‘OK well as long as I'm providing for my wife and for my children I'm good. I have the freedom to do whatever I want,’” he explained. “And that’s not the right mentality. It’s wrong. I made a commitment, and I should've either stuck with it or ended it. I cheated on her multiple times. She knew about it.”
In May 2023, Allen was sued by his former manager for assault and sexµal abuse. He said Lexi found out about that particular affair when the news broke.
Although the case has since been dropped, Allen said he was “heartbroken” because he felt betrayed by the woman who was suing him, who he thought “cared” about him.
“Looking at it now, I would totally do everything different,” he said. “Biggest change I would've made — personally — I wouldn’t have gotten married. Or if I did, I felt like I would be honest about who I am, and the type of relationship I want.”

Unfortunately, this is most men. They like the idea of having a loving wife and family at home but do not want the commitment of being faithful to them. I say "them" because whether men like it or not, they are cheating on everyone in the family--not just the wife. They are cheating their kids of precious time they could spend with them instead of chasing tail. Then, when the family breaks apart, both parents lose time with kids on The Chase for the next one.
He's really a disgusting person. I hope people stop interviewing him
He's color struck, thank goodness.
Why interview with Kathie Lee Gifford of all ppl. She has no life or career.
He lets these Yt women run his life. They are thirsty for the coin you simp. They will do anything to stay on the pay role: massage your ego/pee-n and lie to keep you on lock.
Well at least he's being honest. And I can at least respect that because the next woman knows what she's getting and shouldn't have nothing to complain about when he start doing him. When people TELL you who they are ...
