Jana Kramer officially has a new boyfriend. The One Tree Hill alum recently went to Instagram to post a photo of her and former soccer player Allan Russell together sitting on a couch. And in the caption, Kramer wrote, “Back where it all started… Also this is so us… trying to take a photo,” as the two are seen laughing.” Kramer tagged her Instagram location in downtown Nashville, but it’s unclear where the photo was taken.
Earlier this month, Kramer, 39, announced that she had a new boyfriend during her Whine Down podcast and revealed her “sweetheart” lives in England. “I don’t know if this is my forever person. … But, like, I’m not going to push away love just because I’ve been hurt before. I’m going to embrace it,” Kramer said, per US Weekly. “I’m going to have fun. And if it doesn’t work out, well, you know what, I’m gonna learn a lot of lessons. And I had a lot of fun along the way.” Kramer was previously married to former NFL player Mike Caussin, and the former couple shares two children — Jolie, 6 and Jace, 4. She was also romantically linked to former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler and Ian Schinelli.
