Jana Kramer reveals ex Mike Caussin cheated with 'more' than 13 women, addresses book they co-wrote

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" Wednesday where she discussed her April 2021 divorce, the lead-up caused by Caussin's cheating, and co-parenting their daughter Jolie, 6, and son Jace, 3.

"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 Tuesday. 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."

Earlier in the episode, Kramer shares, "I came from a broken family and my whole thing was, I do not want to grow up in a broken house. I hated Christmas because I have to separate Christmas and that was stressful. I want my kids under one roof and the thought of another woman raising my child was like, 'It ain't gonna happen.' "

Pinkett Smith empathizes 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.

Celebs can 'have it all' and still be cheated on. What does it mean for the rest of us?

Kramer says she continued to forgive Caussin, 35, after he would promise her by means of therapy, baptism or other means that he would "be a better man" and she "waited for him."

When she caught him cheating last April, her ex-husband promised again that he "never" do it again. That was the singer's last straw, she says, because two weeks prior she had already "begged him" to tell the truth. "I don't care if it's 5, 10, 15, we can work through it."

Kramer filed to divorce Caussin that month after six years of marriage.

At first, Kramer says she went "real crazy" and "destroyed all his X-boxes" and "wrote all over his tux."

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 program 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 honor 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.

Kramer addresses the book on "Red Table Talk" and says "there's a chapter in there where he 1,000 percent did not tell the truth of what he was actually doing."

"We had just become New York Times best-selling authors about how we got past this and I'm like, 'I look like a (expletive) idiot," she adds.

Pinkett Smith adds that in this day in age, there's pressure to forgive people that can be toxic. "We don't give people enough time to have their process. It doesn't happen immediately. Sometimes it takes years," she says.
