The story of how the *One Tree Hill* star and the former professional footballer connected is a modern-day fairytale, beginning with a simple dating app match and quickly escalating to a surprise engagement, a secret marriage, and the birth of their son, Roman James Russell. Their relationship has been a central focus of her popular *Whine Down* podcast, offering fans an unfiltered look at their life together.

The Three Marriages That Led Her to Allan Russell

Kramer’s path to her current marriage has been well-documented and involved three previous trips down the aisle. Each relationship offered lessons that she has openly shared, particularly on her podcast, making her a relatable figure for many dealing with relationship trauma and divorce.

Her first marriage to Michael Gambino in 2004 was brief and ended in divorce after only a few months due to severe domestic abuse, a painful experience she has since spoken out about to help other survivors. Her second marriage to actor Johnathon Schaech in 2010 was also short-lived, with the couple separating after a little over a month.

The most public and high-profile of her former relationships was her marriage to former NFL player Mike Caussin. They married in 2015 and share two children, daughter Jolie and son Jace. Their relationship was a rollercoaster of public breakups, reconciliations, and attempts to heal from Caussin's repeated infidelity and sex addiction, which they documented extensively. Kramer ultimately filed for divorce in 2021, citing "inappropriate marital conduct, irreconcilable differences and adultery."

Allan Russell: Jana Kramer’s Current Spouse and The Scottish Connection

Jana Kramer’s current husband, Allan Russell, is a prominent figure in the world of professional football (soccer). Their relationship began in late 2022 after matching on a dating app, a detail that surprised many fans who expected her to seek a partner closer to her Hollywood or Nashville circles. The fact that he is a Scottish football coach and lives across the Atlantic added an immediate layer of intrigue to their blossoming romance.

Russell, born on December 13, 1980, in Glasgow, Scotland, is a former professional footballer who played for various teams, including Hamilton Academical and Kilmarnock. However, he is perhaps best known for his successful transition into coaching. He has earned a reputation as one of the world’s top striker coaches and has worked with elite teams, including the England national team and, most recently, an EFL Championship club as a set-piece coach.

The couple’s relationship accelerated quickly. After a six-month, long-distance courtship, Russell proposed to Kramer in May 2023, a moment she shared tearfully with her listeners on her *Whine Down* podcast. The proposal happened at her home in Nashville, Tennessee, with her two children, Jolie and Jace, present for the special occasion.

A Fairytale Scottish Castle Wedding and Blended Family Life

The couple made headlines in July 2024 when they tied the knot in a stunning, intimate ceremony at a Scotland castle. The picturesque location was a nod to Russell’s Scottish heritage. Kramer later revealed that while the main celebration was in July, they had made their union "official a little earlier" in a private, secret ceremony, adding a fresh layer of romance and exclusivity to their story.

The wedding, which featured traditional Scottish elements like kilts and a beautiful, historic setting, represented a fresh start and a commitment to a new, healthy partnership for Kramer. The speed and certainty of their union were a clear sign that both felt they had found their lifelong partner.

Expanding Their Family: The Arrival of Roman James

Shortly after announcing their engagement in 2023, the couple shared another joyous piece of news: they were expecting their first child together. Their son, Roman James Russell, was born in November 2023. As of late 2025, Roman is a happy two-year-old, completing their blended family unit.

Kramer’s life with Russell is now centered on co-parenting her three children: Jolie and Jace with her ex-husband Mike Caussin, and Roman with Allan Russell. The dynamic of the blended family and navigating the challenges of co-parenting with an ex, especially one with a complicated history, has become a frequent and honest topic on her podcast. She often discusses the emotional labor and practical logistics of balancing her career, her long-distance marriage (due to Russell’s coaching commitments), and her role as a mother of three.

In a world where celebrity relationships often crumble under public pressure, Jana Kramer and Allan Russell’s story is a testament to perseverance and the power of finding love when you least expect it. Their quick, committed romance and subsequent marriage in a Scottish castle have cemented their status as one of the most intriguing and closely watched couples in the entertainment and sports worlds.
