Jana Kramer is ready to talk about the depths of her ex-husband Mike Caussin's infidelity.
The singer, 38, appears on Facebook Watch's Red Table Talk where she discussed her April 2021 divorce, the lead-up caused by Caussin's cheating and co-parenting their daughter Jolie, six, and son Jace, three.
"Over time you found out he cheated with 13 women?" co-host Jada Pinkett Smith asks in an exclusive preview clip obtained by USA Today. In response, Kramer reveals it was "more."
"I know we're both in better situations, but I think about this year my kids won't wake up in my house Christmas day," she says, choking back tears. "That one's gonna hurt."
Pinkett Smith empathises with Kramer and says: "That's a hard one when you're familial dreams coincide with childhood trauma."
"And that's when I get like, 'That's not fair. You took away my dream, too, of what I wanted for my family,' " the One Tree Hill alum adds.
Kramer filed to divorce Caussin, 35, in April 2021 after six years of marriage.
The country music star addressed the split on Instagram, revealing that she is trying "to make sense of a reality I never wanted to believe could be possible again."
"I've fought y'all," Kramer wrote. "I've loved hard. I've forgiven. I've put the work in. I've given everything I have, and now I have nothing else to give."
Though Kramer said she still believes "wholeheartedly in marriage, love, and rebuilding," she added that she "just can't fight any longer."
"It's time to heal," she continued. "Thank you for all the love, heart, and support, in many ways you have fought on this journey alongside me, and for that I am grateful. I'll always encourage you to continue the good fight, but you can't fight it alone."
The former NFL player has a history of infidelity: in 2016, the couple separated after it was revealed Caussin had been cheating on Kramer. The two later reconciled and said they were working on their marriage.
In 2019, Caussin also opened up about having a sex addiction on Kramer's Whine Down podcast as well as his sobriety journey. At the time, he said he was in a 12-step programme for sex addiction for three years and was approaching a year of sobriety.
The following year, the couple released a book together titled The Good Fight: Wanting To Leave, Choosing To Stay, And The Powerful Practice For Loving Faithfully.
According to its Amazon description, the book is about how Kramer and Caussin "decided to honour their forever love by battling it out and staying together, told from both sides." In the book, the couple offer lessons readers can use "to give and receive lasting love," the description adds. – USA Today/Tribune News Service
