Kramer is positioning her divorce journey as a spiritual awakening — framing her baptism, church devotion, and newfound prayer life as the silver lining of her marriage ending. She's highlighting how faith has created harmony between her two families.
Sources close to Kramer say her quick remarriage to Allan Russell in July 2024 (just months after welcoming son Roman) raised eyebrows, but her willingness to coparent publicly with Caussin — even sitting together at Easter services — suggests genuine healing rather than performative spirituality.
Kramer and Caussin split in April 2021 after nearly six years of marriage. They share daughter Jolie, 10, and son Jace, 7. Kramer remarried Russell in July 2024 after welcoming their son Roman eight months earlier. She was baptized and 'leaned into the church' post-divorce, describing it as a 'very powerful and beautiful experience.'
Kramer's story is compelling because she's not pretending her divorce didn't hurt — she's just claiming she found something better on the other side of it.
Jana Kramer is speaking out about how her very public divorce from Mike Caussin became the unlikely catalyst for spiritual rebirth. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, the 42-year-old actress and singer got vulnerable about finding God in the aftermath of her marriage falling apart, describing a journey that forced her into isolation before ultimately leading to baptism and a committed faith life. "I really truly found faith through my divorce," Kramer exclusively shared with Us Weekly.
"I was forced to be alone, and then that's when I struggled. … It wasn't until my divorce that I was just, like, I am so alone — and then I realized that I wasn't." The actress described the experience as "a very powerful and beautiful experience" as she developed a personal relationship with God through getting baptized, attending church regularly, and connecting with fellow believers. Her pastor's advice seems to have stuck: when she questions her faith, he's told her that asking questions is itself an act of belief.
The actress has wasted no time building a faith-centered family life since remarriage. Kramer married Allan Russell in July 2024 after welcoming their son Roman eight months earlier — a timeline that had some fans raising eyebrows about the speed of the relationship. But sources tell Celebrity Bytes that whatever drama may have existed behind closed doors is now being replaced by something unexpected: genuine peace.
During Easter celebrations, both Russell, 45, and Caussin, 39, sat in the same church pew alongside Kramer as they worshipped together as a family unit. "Faith has helped strengthen everything," Kramer said on the May 25 episode of her iHeartRadio "Whine Down" podcast. "Every day, I'm still learning.
I still ask questions. My pastor says, 'That's faith, keep asking questions.'" Her daughter Jolie from her marriage to Caussin has apparently taken to the family's spiritual shift enthusiastically — Kramer calls the 10-year-old her "little prayer warrior" and wishes she had been introduced to faith at a younger age. Russell, who attended church as a child but hadn't been practicing, is now joining the family in regular worship.
This weekend brings another milestone for Kramer as she celebrates the premiere of Where the Heart Lands on Lifetime Saturday, May 30, at 8 p.m. ET. The film, directed and cowritten by Haylie Duff, features Kramer as a female horse trainer whose life gets complicated when a love interest played by Tyler Johnson inherits the farm where she works.
"It's got conflict, it's got a little bit of drama," Kramer teased. "I just knew Haylie was going to take it into a beautiful direction with her directing." Whether the movie resonates or not, Kramer seems secure in knowing she's already found something worth more than any Hollywood happy ending.
