Back in the saddle? Jana Kramer sparked relationship speculation in early December — and eagle-eyed fans think they know who her mystery man may be.
The One Tree Hill alum, 38, filed for divorce from Mike Caussin in April after nearly six years of marriage, finalizing the proceedings in July. The former couple briefly separated in 2016 before renewing their vows and had been candid about their ups and downs over the years, including Caussin’s infidelity.
Kramer, who shares daughter Jolie, 5, and son Jace, 3, with the former NFL player, 34, has been vocal about taking her time when it comes to finding love again following her third divorce. The “I Got the Boy” singer was briefly married to Michael Gambino in 2004 and to actor Johnathon Schaech for 12 days in 2010 to before she tied the knot with Caussin in May 2015.
“I do feel like now I’m in a place where I kinda want to get back out there and date, slowly,” she said during an August episode of her “Whine Down” podcast. “I’m open to it, knowing that I still have a lot of healing to do. I’m open to dating and not knowing who my person is and knowing that I don’t have to be with someone, that I’m OK alone. … I need them to check all the boxes.”
The Holiday Fix Up star, however, has raised a few eyebrows regarding her love life in the months after splitting from Caussin. In June, she turned heads when she said she was in the midst of an “entanglement” with Graham Bunn. She later clarified that she is “friends” with The Bachelorette alum, 43, and they’ve been close for seven years.
The Michigan native was briefly linked to Jay Cutler after they were spotted spending time together in September. Us Weekly confirmed one month later that the whirlwind romance was over.
“Obviously the whole Jay stuff, that became public because we went out and he was a very public person so obviously that came out, but I never spoke on it because I didn’t know what it was,” Kramer said during a December episode of her podcast, addressing the situation in-depth for the first time. “Just because I went on a date with someone doesn’t mean we’re exclusive and he’s my boyfriend. He was never my boyfriend.”
That same month, the Christmas in Louisiana actress shared a photo of herself in a robe with a mystery man visible in the background. The snap caused a stir amongst Kramer’s fans, who quickly attempted to learn more about her new suitor. After gathering clues, Us exclusively identified him as Ian Schinelli.
The Support the Girls star has since been spotted spending time with the 36-year-old trainer, who is also located in Nashville, but Kramer has yet to publicly confirm that she is in fact dating him.
Scroll down to see all the signs that the actress is in a relationship with Schinelli:
The Friday Night Lights alum jetted off to the Little Palm Island Resort in the Florida Keys before the holidays. “Okay 38. I see you … let’s do this. #birthday @LittlePalmIsland #StartLiving #TropicalDistancing,” she captioned a series of photos from the trip on December 2. One fan questioned if Kramer’s getaway was a solo venture, writing, “There with Ian? 👀 or you’re alone but I doubt that😂.” Schinelli, for his part, shared a video from the same destination on December 5, captioning it, “Birthday Walk. On to the next adventure.” Courtesy of Jana Kramer/Instagram
“New experiences to share. New challenges to face. New people in my life. For the first time in more than a decade (or more) I actually celebrated my birthday,” Schinelli wrote via Instagram on December 14, again tagging the tropical destination that Kramer was spotted at earlier in the month. “Detached myself from work. Detached myself from outside noise. Spent days actually unwinding and being able to relax. Being present and being able to enjoy where I am and the people I’m with and not worrying about rushing to do the next thing. (Very difficult task for me). Much needed and much appreciated.” Kramer raised eyebrows after she commented on the post, “🙌🔥❤️,” leading some fans to think that they were on the trip together. They each shared clues about paddle boarding adventures, appeared to be hanging out on the same dock and were on a boat with an identical city in the background. Courtesy of Ian/Instagram
The Country Crush actress made headlines on December 15 after she posted a photo of herself wearing a robe that she altered post-split. “When u have to sharpie a robe because u haven’t worn it since being divorced,” she captioned an Instagram Story snap at the time, wearing a gray bathrobe that was embroidered with a “C” to denote her former spouse’s last name. The letter “K” was written in black marker over the stitching. “Dear Santa, I need a robe with a K 🤣.” The cute snap got some attention, but it was the shirtless man seen in the reflection of the glass that turned heads.

Kramer addressed her robe photo and the shirtless man who took the snap during the December 16 episode of her podcast, noting that she wasn’t ready to say who he was publicly. “I feel like there’s no way that someone can be honest and that it can be good. … I think I’m so afraid of, like, I’m used to just war and not being on steady ground. My therapist said, ‘You’re used to standing in sand so you can never really get your footing.’ So, when something can be, or looks like it could be steady, it’s like, ‘Oh that freaks me out,’ like, ‘That can’t be real,'” she explained. “For seven years, I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Clearly, there’s another shoe to drop and I don’t want to be fooled again.” The “I Hope It Rains” singer added that things were still new with the man in her photo, and she wasn’t ready to speak about how the romance was progressing just yet. “I don’t want to be embarrassed again. I was mortified with the stuff that came out with my ex and I,” she said. “I tried to change the narrative because I believed that we could have made it work but I also, when it happened again, now I look like a frickin’ idiot, I look like a girl who should have left a long time ago. I felt stupid and I don’t want that to happen again. I’m so afraid.” Michael Simon/startraksphoto.com
The 90210 alum shared a series of photos with her kids at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Tennessee on December 16. “Nothing better than @gaylordoprylandresort during Christmas time … a tradition for us always,” she captioned the snaps, including a group shot on the ice-skating rink. While Kramer didn’t tag her rumored beau, he shared photos via his Instagram Story from the same Christmas-themed spots with his own daughter. The similar posts led some fans to think they enjoyed the holiday festivities together. Courtesy of Jana Kramer/Instagram
