Another person asked, "Will you be getting married in his country or yours?!" To answer, the "Laid to Rest" star shared a picture of a beautiful open space and explained in the caption, "Here is a view from a venue in Scotland. We are leaning towards doing it there… but open!" Then at the bottom, she added another question bar titled, "US locations?"

The 'One Tree Hill' Star Shares Insights Into Her Long-Distance Romance
In March, during an episode of her podcast "Whine Down with Jana Kramer," the "I Got the Boy" singer candidly discussed her long-distance relationship with Russell. Despite her strong desire to relocate to Scotland and be with the Norwich City set-piece coach, she acknowledged that her current parenting commitments prevented her from doing so.
Even though they found happiness as a couple, she revealed that her decision to stay in Nashville was primarily motivated by the well-being of her two young children. In the conversation, the "Why Ya Wanna" artist reflected on the doubt she encountered at the beginning of their relationship.
Kramer revealed that she initially embraced the romance with a relaxed perspective, only to gradually contemplate the possibility of it getting deeper. "I can't move to England right now with my two kids. Given their age and my ex's situation, it wouldn't be fair. So, what's the alternative?" she shared.
Nonetheless, she conveyed her aspiration to eventually live in the same place as the Aberdeen first team coach. She mentioned, "And with his work, too, it's one of those things where he's a soccer coach, so he works in England, could potentially work here in the States. So I think the goal would be to be in the same place."
While navigating their relationship, she confided in Russell, stating, "You make work what you want to make work," noting emphatically, "I would never uproot the kids, I'll just say that." The "DWTS" alum then outlined their strategy, which included the possibility of her partner visiting Nashville during his work breaks to sustain their relationship.
The "Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis" star conveyed her assurance in the strength of their long-distance bond. She expressed not being concerned about their next meeting, as she believed that things would naturally align if they were meant to.
