They met through his cousin.

Jimmie and Alexis’s story seems like the plot of a fan-favorite rom-com. While the pair grew up in Milton, Delaware, they didn’t actually meet until the spring of 2019 when Jimmie’s cousin’s wife introduced them.

“With Alexis being from my hometown, it is like always having a piece of home with me. We had an immediate connection,” Jimmie told PEOPLE. “It was like we’d always known each other.”

Soon after, he popped the question.

After dating for just a few months, Jimmie popped the question to Alexis on June 15, 2019. The big moment took place at Disney World surrounded by family and friends in front of none other than Magic Kingdom’s iconic castle.

While some people might think the pair moved fast, sometimes when you know, you know. And, for Jimmie, there was never even a question.

"Her smile melts me, her pure heart challenges me to love better, the way she motivates and supports me is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, the way she loves me and my son is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced," Jimmie shared with PEOPLE. "It feels incredible to find the type of love I’ve been writing songs about all these years!"

They were married in secret.

While the couple posted photos of a picture-perfect wedding on May 27, 2021, Jimmie and Alexis later revealed that they'd actually married a year before in a private ceremony. The nuptials took place in Delaware on June 18, 2020 (Jimmie's birthday!).

Jimmie admitted that marriage wasn't always on his mind. He told People, "I wanted to be a dad, but I never wanted to get married. Alexis changed that."

They have a growing family.

Jimmie and Alexis have three children with a baby on the way. They welcomed their baby girl, Naomi Bettie Allen, on March 1, 2020. The couple welcomed Zara James Allen to the family on October 16, 2021. The couple has also been raising Jimmie’s 7-year-old son, Aadyn, from a previous relationship.

They announced their separation in April 2023.

The couple revealed that they are separating and that they are expecting their third child later in April 2023.
