Jana Kramer Reveals Mike Caussin and Allan Russell 'Had a Beer' Together
Jana Kramer and Mike Caussin have reached an amicable coparenting arrangement, which extends to her fiancé, Allan Russell.
“My ex-husband was here the other day dropping off the kids because he knew that me and my fiancé were moving into our new house, and he’s like, ‘I’ll just come drop the kids off,’” Kramer, 39, said during the Monday, September 25, episode of her “Whine Down” podcast. “And he came in and he had a beer with Allan.”
She continued: “I remember sitting there going, ‘This is really cool.’ I never would have dreamt it this way, but this is cool.”
Kramer and Caussin, 36, were married between 2015 and 2021, and they share daughter Jolie, 7, and son Jace, 4. The One Tree Hill alum has since moved on with Russell, 42, and they got engaged in May. Kramer and Russell are currently expecting their first baby together. (The Scottish soccer coach also shares a 16-year-old son from a past relationship.)
