The first indication that something was happening in Jimmie Allen‘s life came Saturday morning (Oct. 16) when he posted on social media, “Tonight show in Forest City NC is canceled, family emergency. It’s currently being rescheduled. See y’all soon.”

That evening Jimmie posted this…

Everyone who follows him knew right away what it meant!

Then word came that Jimmie and his wife, Alexis, welcomed their daughter Zara James into the world.

Zara is little sister to the couple’s 1-and a half year old daughter Naomi Bettie, as well as Jimmie’s 7-year old son Aadyn.

Reports are that all are doing well.

No word if this will affect Jimmie’s status for this week’s Dancing With The Stars.

Some details of this report broke on People
