Jana Kramer Praises Ex Mike Caussin For Support Despite Book Touching On 'Hard Stories'

In the ever-evolving saga of Jana Kramer's life, her recent book release has brought surprising revelations and an unlikely friendship.

As the singer shares some of her most challenging experiences in her memoir, she acknowledges the support of her ex-husband, Mike Caussin, as she expresses some of the most vulnerable chapters of her life. 

Despite the book's deeply personal nature, the actress took to her Instagram page to shine a light on the former athlete's unwavering support. Alongside a picture of the duo sporting happy smiles, the mother-of-two penned a heartfelt caption, which in part read:

"Not sure how to start this caption but here goes… First off want to say a giant thank you to Mike for all his support around my book this past week." 

She mentioned that he was one of the first people to call her on the book's publication day, highlighting the significance of this gesture, especially considering the book delves into challenging stories from their shared past. 

In her own words, she pointed out that his gesture did "not go overlooked for me considering this book touched on some hard stories from our past." The "One Tree Hill" star emphasized further writing:

"The fact he could still be supportive and know that at the end of the day this book was truly about me and my journey to healing and growth meant so much to me." 

She also commended the 36-year-old for his vulnerability during a recent three-part series on her podcast @whinedownpodcast, noting their joint efforts to reach a place of healing and growth.

Kramer took a moment to applaud the former Buffalo Bills player for his achievements in the healthcare sector, stating, "He is kicking ass in the health care world insuring people and I’m so proud of him." She then provided his contact information for "anyone that needs health insurance or have questions around it." 

Apart from Caussin, the "Laid to Rest" actress received an outpouring of support from her fans, who lauded her strength and resilience. One commenter exclaimed that their interaction was "the best gifts you could ever give your kids! "

Another commenter wrote, "Love this so much! ❤️ You are such a good person and mommy!?." A third admirer chimed in, "I'm really proud of you two," and a fourth enthusiastically wrote, "This makes my heart so happy for you ❤️." 

Others echoed that this was a significant milestone for the former couple, like this supporter, who observed, "Yay!! This huge for you 2 I know ❤️❤️."

While Kramer's candid memoir delving into the intricacies of her past marriage with Caussin has created quite a stir, the former NFL player surprisingly is unbothered by it all. In an episode of his ex-wife's podcast, he shocked listeners by expressing his backing for the "Why Ya Wanna" singer's literary endeavor.

Initially skeptical when the project was announced, his perspective on the memoir evolved, demonstrating a deepened trust and understanding between the former spouses. The former American football tight end's confidence in Kramer's portrayal of their marriage was so unwavering that he chose not to read the book. In his words:

"Jana asked me now that it’s published, ‘Before it comes out, do you want to read it?’ and I told her, ‘No,’ because I trust our relationship more now than I ever have."

He explained further, "For me, I thought, ‘Why read it and rehash — in my own work and journey — rehash some of these things emotionally and internally and feel any time kind of way for Jana?’ I believe Jana — what her point and her narrative is." 

Before Kramer's highly anticipated book, "The Next Chapter," hit the stands, she gave her fans a tantalizing glimpse into what they could expect. The "DWTS" alum used her Instagram story to share some of the book's most profound insights.

When asked about the book's most significant takeaway, Kramer's response resonated with the universal struggles many face. She expressed that her memoir delved into themes of "self-worth, self-love, loneliness, and the battle with anxiety." 

Notably, she also emphasized that within these struggles, "there is HOPE and HEALING on the other side." The 39-year-old also addressed questions about why her ex-husband was featured on her podcast. 

She pointed out that the book celebrated their personal growth and evolution. Kramer clarified that while the book touched on their past, it was not solely about him or any specific ex-partner. Instead, it centered on her personal journey, highlighting behavior patterns, self-improvement, and the transformative healing process.
