Days after country star Jimmie Allen and his wife Alexis Gale announced both that they are pregnant with their third child and that they are separating, Gale shared cryptic message. "The silence is loud enough for me," the registered nurse wrote in a since-expired message on her Instagram story Monday. The ex-couple announced their split after three years of marriage on Friday. "After much thought and reflection in recent months, Lex & I have made the decision to separate," Allen and his now-estranged wife shared on their respective Instagram pages. "As we navigate this life change, we can also share that we will be welcoming another child together later this year." The statement noted that their "number one priority is and always will be ensuring that our children are healthy, happy and loved, and we remain committed to co-parenting with love and respect for one another.
