Jana Kramer and Allen Russell are getting married soon, and she will walk down the aisle by herself. The former cast member of One Tree Hill discussed whether her father should assume the custom of leading her down the aisle at their wedding, but in the end, she stated that it is a journey she must take alone.
In the Whine Down podcast episode from July 7, Jana said to her fiancé, "I was like, 'It's a walk that I need to take by myself.'" "And then that made me start crying, and I was like, 'It's taken me a long time to get here, and I know that this will be the last walk I do alone.'"
The 40-year-old went on, "Even though I have walks with God and all that, this is my last walk alone, and I'm walking to you." She and the Scottish former football player have an 8-month-old baby named Roman. I have some meaning for that sentiment. incredibly symbolic."
Jana will be getting married for the fourth time; she was previously married to actors Jonathan Schaech, Michael Gambino, and Mike Caussin. She has two children, Jolie, age eight, and Jake, age five.
But even though she'll be walking alone down the aisle, her children will have each other because, as she put it, "I'm going to have them walk together."
About six months after they started dating, in May 2023, the actress revealed her engagement to Allan, 43.
In the midst of their brief affair, Jana thought about how it was a fresh start for her. In her podcast that same month, she said, "Allan is the first person with whom I didn't feel like I had to defend my past." "Like normally, I went on this one date with this guy, and he was like, 'So you've been married a lot,' and that's always kind of been the conversation."
She talked about the "embarrassment" of getting divorced three times while also expressing her happiness at starting a new life with Allan.
"I feel in my soul that I have my happily ever after," she said. "And I'm so grateful now for those past relationships that have led me to Allan."
