Jana Kramer reunited with her ex-husband, Mike Caussin, and shared a heartfelt message after he served as a guest on her podcast in the latest episodes of Whine Down with Jana Kramer. The three-part podcast interview comes shortly after Kramer released her highly-anticipated memoir, The Next Chapter.
Throughout the three-part podcast interview, Kramer and Caussin speak about whether he read her book, what he misses about Whine Down, not being defined by their past, going through some tough questions, revealing how Caussin feels about Kramer’s new fiancé Allan Russell, and more. Kramer said in a video shared on her Instagram story on Monday (October 30) that she “thought it was important for him [Caussin, during The Next Chapter’s release week] to be able to have his voice, and to say what he wants to say.”
Kramer and Caussin tied the knot in 2015 and split in 2021. They share two children together, daughter Jolie, 7, and Jace, 4. Kramer is now pregnant with Baby No. 3, her first with fiancé Russell.
Kramer previously shared that The Next Chapter “is a year diary from the day I filed divorce papers, to a year later and all that I’ve learned since.” However, she doesn’t consider the book to be solely about her divorce or a tell-all about Caussin. Rather, it’s a collection of her stories of “making peace with hard memories, finding hope all around me, and clearing space for good things to come.” The book published on October 24.
“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,” Kramer wrote in an Instagram caption for a photo she referred to on her story as a “full circle” moment. “He was one of the first people to call me on pub day. That does not go overlooked for me considering this book touched on some hard stories from our past. 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. I also appreciate the vulnerability he brought to the 3 part series of [Whine Down with Jana Kramer] when he was on last week and this week. We have both worked hard to get here and as always I hope what we talked about helped others as that was always why we shared.”
The latest and final episode includes discussions of co-parenting, apologizing and “a piece of shame that’s still there for us,” Kramer shared. Find the latest episode of Whine Down with Jana Kramer here.
