Since her flashy debut on season 23 of Dancing With The Stars in 2016, Jana Kramer has seen a lot of changes in her life with husband Mike Caussin. The One Tree Hill alum has gone through life as best as she can, despite bouts of infidelity and hardship.
Most known for her role on One Tree Hill, Kramer started acting in 2002, taking on roles and improving her craft util she landed her coveted role in 2009. In 2011, her country singing career took off, running alongside her successful career in acting. Seeing her potential and obvious stardom, it was no surprise when Dancing With The Stars came knocking, catapulting her farther into fame. Although she didn't win, fans were pleased to see a familiar and popular face. How has Kramer's life been since the show?
After marrying her husband, Mike Caussin, in 2015, Pop Culture reports Kramer found topless photos of another woman on his Apple watch. Alarmed, she went to check his phone, but found they'd been deleted. She'd been through the paces of infidelity with him before, and was left stunned and wounded at the possible betrayal. She messaged the number back, only to get a saucy response that suggested she come over. Racked with worry and pain, she phoned a friend, crying as she faced her worst fears. Upon confronting him, she found it was just a bot, but some of the memories associated with his cheating were still too painful. They often talk about themselves and their marital problems openly on their podcast, Whine Down. However, Mike did something for his wife that spoke to the kind of work he was trying to put in.
He left a note for Jana, detailing his love and affection for her and explaining how amazing she is. Taken by the gesture and attempting to show her love, she shared the note on Instagram. "Well this is a nice way to wake up! It's the little things that make me feel the most loved so waking up to this meant the world." She said in the caption. "I also wanted to share this because I feel so often all we do is complain about our partners to our friends etc instead of saying how amazing our partners are." Kramer was truly trying to look past the situation, opening herself up to the healing that is possible when a couple works together.
Fast forward to 2020 and Jana and Mike are still going strong, battling their weaknesses together. They have opened up previously on their podcast about Mike's sex addiction. Now, they have released a book that gets into the nitty gritty trenches of their marriage, exposing the hardship and fights, but also the love and understanding. People reported that, upon hearing of Kramer's idea to release the book, Caussin was outraged and filled with shame. "You're not releasing this." he told her, but Kramer confessed that at the time, all she wanted to do was "help people."
Kramer and Caussin are clearly putting in the effort to stay together and work on each other. After some time talking to his wife and coming to terms with his own shame, Caussin agreed to write and release the book, sharing intimate moments of their relationship outside of the podcast and interviews for the first time. "The book is vulnerable, it's authentic, it's direct, it's funny, it's passionate," he said. Kramer is diverting most of her attention to her family, strengthening her bond with her husband and spending time with her children, Jolie, 4, and Jace, 21 months. She has forged an incredible career and as her family continues to blossom, she is working past her marital hurdles to truly have it all.
