"Sending warm wishes to all the fathers out there, with a special mention to these three incredible men," Jana Kramer shared in a heartfelt holiday message on Instagram. The 39-year-old actress, known for her role in One Tree Hill, expressed her gratitude to her fiancé Allan Russell, her ex-husband Mike Caussin, and her father Martin Kramer on Father's Day.
Jana shared three photos to go along with her caption, one of which showed the Scottish soccer coach tenderly holding her baby bump. The couple, who made their relationship public in January and got engaged six months later, revealed that they are expecting their first child together. Jana is already a mother to her seven-year-old daughter Jolie and four-year-old son Jace, whom she co-parents with Caussin. Russell also has a 16-year-old son from a previous relationship.

"It was a surprise. I never thought I could conceive," Jana revealed on a recent episode of her "Whine Down" podcast. She expressed her concerns about being able to carry a pregnancy to full term due to her previous miscarriages. Jana recalled a conversation with her partner Allan, where he asked if she wanted to have another baby. She admitted that she initially doubted her ability to physically carry a baby again, but with Allan, she felt more open to the idea.

Jana and the former NFL player ended their marriage in 2021 after Caussin's alleged infidelity, which lasted for almost six years. Despite this, they have focused on maintaining a friendly co-parenting relationship and have even formed friendships with each other's new partners.
"It's truly amazing how well everyone gets along," Jana shared with We magazine in April when discussing Caussin and Russell. "I once observed the situation and realized that things can change for the better and become truly beautiful."
After Russell proposed to Jana, her ex-husband graciously gave his blessing, further solidifying the sense of completeness and closure in her life.
"During a recent episode of her podcast, [Name] shared a heartfelt moment when [Mike] expressed his genuine happiness for her new relationship with Allan. Overwhelmed with emotion, tears welled up in her eyes as he reassured her, saying, 'You truly deserve to be with someone who genuinely loves and respects you. After everything I've put you through, you deserve this more than anyone.' The significance of his words touched her deeply, leaving a lasting impact."
