In case you missed it...
Congratulations are in order for Jimmie Allen and his wife Alexis. The couple, who, as we told you, got married on May 27th, just announced that they are expecting their second child together. Jimmie broke the news on Instagram with a funny video that featured clips from “Home Alone,” with the parents saying “we did it again,” “Hamilton” and more, ending with the “Knocked Up” scene where Katherine Heigl announces “I’m pregnant.” The video then ends with a picture of a list featuring the names of everyone in the family, Jimmie, Alexis, their daughter 15-month-old Naomi, Aadyn, Jimmie’s seven-year-old son from a previous relationship, and the words “Baby Allen,” with the caption “coming soon.” Alexis also shared the news on her socials with a series of photos showing off her baby bump. Check out the video below.
