Allen and Alexis married in June 2020. In April 2023, theyannounced their separation. At the time, they also announced they were expecting their third child together.
The next month, Allenissued Alexis a public apology, writing on social media that he was sorry “for humiliating her with my affair. I’m embarrassed that my choices have brought shame on her. That’s something that she did not deserve at all.”
He then welcomed his twins with another woman during the summer of 2023.
Allen and Alexis welcomed their third child together, son Cohen,in September; and then in October, Allen’s representatives told PEOPLE they had reconciled.
“[The divorce] was never fully seen through legally,” said Allen’s representative at the time. “They decided to work on things together andare still together.”
In the months since, however, it appears the two have split, with neither wearing their wedding bands any longer.
