Country singer Jana Kramer and retired NFL player Mike Caussin divorced last year, and it's been a difficult healing journey for Kramer, who took out her anger on her ex's possessions. Caussin admitted to cheating on Kramer multiple times and seemed to move on immediately following their separation.
Since the dissolution of her marriage last year, Jana Kramer has opened up about how she dealt with her pain. In an episode of the Facebook Watch show "Red Table Talk," Kramer tearfully revealed that her husband had cheated with more than 13 women.
What made it more difficult for the singer was that she and her ex-husband, Mike Caussin, had worked through his infidelities just a year after marrying. Yet after seeking treatment for sex addiction, Caussin went back to his old ways.

Kramer expressed that she felt robbed of her dream of raising a family how she wanted. She dealt with her anger by destroying Caussin's Xboxes, vandalizing his tux, and shattering other items in her home.
The singer also admitted to waiting for an apology from Caussin. However, her therapist helped her deal with the need for that closure. Kramer wrote a letter that would have been from Caussin to herself, expressing all the remorse she wished he had, and it helped her to forgive and move forward without an apology.
Afterward, the singer concluded that forgiving Caussin for his unfaithfulness helped free her from "the shackles of the past." Kramer understood that separating from Caussin was the right decision and now tries to find her balance as a single mom.
Mike Caussin Was Spotted with a New Girl Right after His Divorce
A few weeks after his divorce was finalized, Mike Caussin created a profile on the popular dating app Bumble. His bio described that he had two dogs and two children, who meant everything to the former NFL player. According to The Sun, Caussin added:
"So as long as you are a genuine and nice person who doesn't allow social media to dictate who you are or what you are, then we'll get along just fine."
The outlet suggested the likelihood of the last bit of Caussin's bio being directed at his ex-wife, Jana Kramer. On her podcast, "Whine Down with Jana Kramer," the singer spoke about how a particular person told her to stop "victimizing" herself on social media.

Although Caussin and Kramer's divorce decree included a legally binding clause instructing the divorcees not to speak ill of each other publicly, the singer was likely referring to her ex-husband. Even after this individual allegedly mocked her, Kramer insisted that she was strong for choosing to be vulnerable on her platforms.
On another episode of her podcast, Kramer revealed that she received a photo of her ex spending time with his new lover after their separation, which didn't sit well with the singer.
For Kramer, seeing the man who would have been her life partner getting cozy with another woman was weird. It's unknown who the new woman in Caussin's life is, as the former NFL player has no social media pages.

He Had Relationships with Other Girls during His Marriage
As an open and recovering sex addict, Mike Caussin often admitted to his infidelities. Regardless of that honesty, his marriage was still strained. According to The Sun, the former NFL player was intimately involved with several women after marrying Jana Kramer in 2015.
The couple took a break the following year as Caussin sought rehabilitation. They reunited in 2017 and decided to renew their vows. However, in March 2019, Mike Caussin appeared on his ex-wife's podcast, where they discussed another one of Caussin's cheating attempts, which they referred to as a relapse.
Although they were initially cryptic, Caussin confessed to doing something he "should not have done." As they continued, the couple revealed that Caussin had arranged to meet with another woman at a hotel, who ended up not showing. Still, he clarified that he was never physically intimate with her.
Later that year, in October, Kramer found a photo depicting a topless woman in his texts. During her appearance on the "Red Table Talk," Kramer disclosed that Caussin's cheating began early in their relationship. She was determined to make it work as she admitted that she, too, had cheated in past relationships.
Moreover, Kramer didn't want to replicate the experience of living in a broken home as she did growing up. So she told her ex-husband to fix up his act and be a better man. Still, her determination to keep their family together wasn't enough to keep Caussin away from other women.
Each time the NFL player was caught cheating, he would make new promises to be better, such as going for a baptism or therapy sessions. It was enough for Kramer to keep hoping that he would stop. Eventually, she felt she had "nothing more to give" and decided it was best they separated.
Mike Caussin and Jana Kramer's Marriage
Mike Caussin and Jana Kramer were together for a year before they tied the knot. They dated from August 2014, with Caussin proposing in December that year. They married in May 2015 and immediately started a family.
The former couple first welcomed a daughter named Jolie Rae in 2016 and later had their son, Jace Joseph, in 2018. After consistent efforts to make things work, Kramer announced their separation in April 2021.
According to People, their divorce documents indicated "irreconcilable differences" and "inappropriate marital conduct" as the reason for the dissolution of their union. Kramer received primary custody of both their children.
However, the singer was also expected to pay her ex-husband $3K in child support since she earned more than him significantly. Following the divorce finalization, Kramer announced that she needed some time to reflect but looked forward to a more promising future.
