But appears that he’s trying to work things out with his estranged wife, Alexis Gale. He told “People”, quote, “The divorce case is still pending, as my wife and I are working to resolve things together as a family.” He added that he recently took time off to be with his wife, kids, and friends, “to ensure everyone was okay.” As for the charges.
