Allen is also father to son Ardyn, 9, from a previous relationship.
He said that once the news of the birth of twins was announced, the truth quickly turned into a lie.
“I decided to post about the twins on my Instagram and it went everywhere,” he said. “There’s an article that comes out that says, ‘Jimmy Allen, Superfan Pregnancy and Marriage.’ That couldn’t be further from the truth.
“She’s not a super fan. She’s a friend. And she wasn’t with her husband and I wasn’t with my wife.”

The country singer also recalled contemplating suicide after multiple women accused him of sexual assault.
In May 2023, Allen’s former manager accused him of sexual abuse while they worked together. She later dropped the case against Allen. At the time, Allen apologized to his wife for “humiliating” her.
Shortly after the lawsuit came to light, two more women filed sexual abuse lawsuits, with Allen counterclaiming that the contact was consensual. He told Gifford the damage was still done.

Although he still struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts, professional help has helped Allen focus elsewhere.
“After a few months, I started looking at the situation differently,” he said. “It was, ‘God, why is this happening to me?’ ‘God, what should I learn?’
