Jana Kramer is spilling the tea about her ex-husband Mike Caussin over a year after their divorce.
When the pair walked down the aisle in May 2015, Kramer had no idea that the marriage would end six years later due to Caussin's infidelity. However, that was precisely what happened, prompting the singer to file for divorce in 2021.
Jana Kramer Confirms Cheating Allegations Against Mike Caussin
Speaking on the circumstances surrounding the decline of her marriage, Kramer took the seat on Jada Pinkett Smith's "Red Table Talk." In a sneak peek of the Facebook Watch show's next episode, the 38-year-old became emotional talking about her tumultuous marriage with Caussin.
When co-host Smith wanted to confirm if the former NFL player "cheated with about 13 women," the country music star quickly added that it was "more." The "Story" songstress, who welcomed two kids — Jolie and Jace — with the footballer during their marriage, also addressed how painful it was to spend certain holidays without them. In her words:
"I know we're both in better situations. But I think about this year; my kids won't wake up at my house [on] Christmas Day. That one's gonna hurt."
Through her tears, the "Love at First Bark" actress added, "That's when I get like — 'That's not fair.' He took away my dream of what I wanted for my family. That's not fair."
Although Kramer and Caussin met and began dating in August 2014, they briefly ended the relationship two weeks later. The "90210" actress later hinted that they broke up due to the footballer's infidelity.
The pair eventually reconciled and later got married one year later. Unfortunately, more infidelity scandals trailed their marriage, leading to another split. Caussin also attempted to seek treatment for sex addiction in 2016 because he realized that he used sex to "hide" his feelings and "run away from reality."
Despite the efforts Caussin and Kramer put into making their marriage work, it ultimately crashed for the last time in April 2021, when the latter filed for divorce. The legal motion was finalized in July of the same year.
Since then, the "Why Ya Wanna" singer has been working on herself and getting past her tumultuous past. The Blast shared that the mother-of-two used two pictures to share a message about walking away from abusive relationships and moving on in healthy ways.
While the first image showed Kramer looking down at a sign that read, "I'm Broken & I'm not enough," the second featured her smiling with another sign with the words, "I'm not broken. I AM Enough." The "Dead/Undead" star captioned the post:
"The voices in my head…. I've been mentally physically, and emotionally abused in past relationships. I allowed certain behaviors to continue on because I actually believed the negative voices in my head that were spoken to me."
The voices that she referred to whispered things like: "No one will want you," "you're the problem," "I barely pushed you, don't be so dramatic," "you bruise easily, I hardly touched you, you're crazy," and "if you wore something sexier I would sleep with you."

The Blast reported earlier this year that Kramer attempted to move on with her love life with Ian Schinelli, a personal trainer. While his popularity was not on the same pedestal as the country singer, it did not affect how the lovebirds felt about each other.
In fact, the "Good As You Were Bad" hitmaker decided to make the relationship official, uploading a series of sweet photos that showcased her happiness in finding someone so loving. She used her caption to explain how she was continuously working on her healing process and acknowledged the bulk of work that still had to be done. Kramer wrote:
"To find someone who doesn't look at your scars as a challenge or problem but rather helps you hold them and stands there to encourage you with love, strength, and empathy along the way."
Although the post garnered several likes and comments, it has since been deleted as the relationship ended in April 2022.
