Jana Kramer’s relationship history has the making of a great country song.
The “I’ve Done Love” songstress has been candid about her love life, past and present, with her fans. Most recently, Kramer filed to end her third marriage, announcing she and Mike Caussin called it quits in April 2021 after six years of marriage.
”I’ve fought y’all. 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,” she wrote via Instagram. “I just can’t fight any longer. It’s time to heal. 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. 
”
News of their split came four years after Us Weekly exclusively revealed that the former NFL player was unfaithful. The twosome attempted to navigate Caussin’s battle with sex addiction for years before pulling the plug on their relationship.
Kramer was previously married twice before she met Caussin. During her stint on Dancing With the Stars in 2016, the One Tree Hill alum revealed she was in an abusive marriage when she was 19 years old. Several years later, Kramer was briefly married to actor Johnathon Schaech. The duo filed to end their union during the summer of 2010 after less than a month of marriage.
Despite her tumultuous relationship history, Kramer has maintained she believes in love and marriage. In 2018, she referred to herself as a “total love addict.”
“I need to go to meetings. [Mike and I] were both love addicts attracting each other,” the actress said on the “Scrubbing In With Becca Tilley & Tanya Rad” podcast. “We were both unhealthy, which is why we moved so fast. If you don’t tell me you love me within two weeks, if I didn’t make you fall in love with me in a couple weeks, I was out. My challenge was always to get the guy to do that … It’s bad. Like, love addiction is a real thing. It’s real bad.”
Three months after their split, Us confirmed that Kramer and Caussin’s divorce was officially finalized.
“That was the hardest of all the days,” Kramer emotionally recalled the moment she signed her divorce papers during a May 2021 episode of her “Whine Down” podcast. “Just, like, seeing all the signatures and it not being what I wanted. That was a very hard day. And I called him after I signed the papers … and I expressed to him, you know, ‘I know I wasn’t a perfect wife, but I would have fought forever for this family and for you.’”
Scroll through for a complete breakdown of Kramer’s relationship history:
Kramer detailed the alleged abuse she endured during her first marriage after she married Michael Gambino in Las Vegas in 2004. "I still have that fear when I’m alone, him coming to grab me and … throwing me out of bed,” she said on Nightline in 2016. "The verbal and the mental abuse they give you is almost more painful than the physical because it tears you down even more with the words.” Kramer recalled hiding in the brushes after Gambino attacked her and tried to kill her when he was under the influence. He was subsequently convicted of premeditated attempted murder in 2005 (the same year they split). While he was released on parole after five years behind bars, Gambino died by suicide.

Kramer started seeing her Prom Night costar in 2008 and the twosome got engaged in 2009. While they exchanged vows in July 2010, Kramer and Schaech announced their breakup in August of that year, calling it quits just 12 days after the ceremony. Their divorce paperwork was finalized in June 2011. More than a decade after their split, Schaech posted a picture from their nuptials, tweeting, “I had to explain this photo to my son today. I told him I’ve been married three times. But I got it right when I married his mother [Julie Soloman].” Kramer fired back at Schaech, who she referred to as her “friend,” on her podcast. "It bothered me,” she said. "I ended up texting John because he started to continue commenting about how it was a horrible day, and nothing was real about it. And I'm like, can you be nice and not say mean things about me on Twitter?" BDG/Shutterstock
Kramer’s next high-profile romance was with the fellow musician. The pair got engaged after six months of dating in January 2013. They called off their wedding plans that August. "I'm really sorry for the person that I was and the way that I wasn't healthy enough to be in that relationship,” she said while reflecting on the engagement during an April 2020 podcast episode. "I wasn't the best version of myself in that relationship. I just wasn’t. I always have a little bit of regret that I didn't handle things better." Gilbert, for his part, said during a 2014 radio interview that their relationship just “didn’t work.” He explained: “Some things happened, and it didn't work out. … I think the world of her. She's one of the most genuine people I know. And that's the honest to God truth. I think the world of that little girl." Frank Micelotta/Invision/AP/Shutterstock

Kramer met the former NFL player in 2014. “When he walked on my tour bus, I was like, ‘That’s the man I’m going to marry,’” she recalled to Us in 2015. While they fell hard fast, she hinted that he was unfaithful when she unfollowed him on social media shortly after they started dating. The twosome reconciled and he proposed that December and they wed in May 2015. Less than two years into their marriage — and shortly after she gave birth to daughter Jolie — Us exclusively revealed that he cheated on her with multiple women. The duo subsequently separated as he entered treatment for sex addiction. Kramer later revealed in her 2020 memoir (cowritten with Caussin about fighting for your relationship) that she had some "flings and flirts” during their separation. After the athlete completed treatment, the twosome renewed their vows in December 2017 and welcomed son Jace the following November. The spouses continued to document their ups and downs on their podcast, “Whine Down,” revealing in March 2019 that Caussin suffered a "sex addiction relapse.” That October, she found a topless photo on her husband’s phone. While they later agreed it was a "bot," they hit another rough patch in early 2020 when Kramer briefly wiped Caussin from her social media profiles, declaring that February that they were having a New Year’s Eve “re-do" after a big fight. Three months after admitting to Us that she doesn’t completely trust Caussin, Kramer filed for divorce in April 2021.Their divorce was finalized three months later. Matt Baron/Shutterstock
Kramer was briefly linked to Cutler after they were spotted spending time together in September 2021. One month later, a source exclusively told Us that their whirlwind romance was over, noting, "The real reason [they broke up] is because he didn't succeed at making [estranged wife] Kristin [Cavallari] jealous." The One Tree Hill alum, for her part, explained that the twosome were never exclusive. "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," she said during a December 2021 episode of her podcast. "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." Mike Wulf/CSM/Shutterstock
