In the January 9 episode of her podcast, the star of Soccer Mom Madam shared that she is no longer single and is currently dating a kind and affectionate man from England.
"It will be challenging since I've never been in a long-distance relationship," Kramer admitted, while choosing not to reveal her partner's identity. "However, I am simply enjoying my happiness. Everything is going well. There will be lessons to be learned along the way, regardless of the outcome. What I do know is that I will never again enter a situation where I don't trust someone, as I don't like the person I become. This relationship feels very different, as I have no worries or fears. And if something were to happen, I would simply say, 'Thank you for showing me who you truly are,' and move on."
