The couple became engaged on December 2, 2014, Kramer's 31st birthday.[11] The two were married on May 22, 2015.[12] On August 10, 2015, the couple revealed they were expecting their first child, a girl.[13] Their daughter, Jolie Rae Caussin, was born on January 31, 2016, in Nashville.[14] By August 2016, Kramer and Caussin had separated in the midst of Caussin's cheating and admission into rehab for sex addiction.[15] They reconciled the following year and renewed their wedding vows in December 2017.[16] In June 2018, Jana revealed they were expecting their second child, a boy.[17] Their son, Jace Joseph Caussin, was born on November 29, 2018.[18]

On April 20, 2021, Kramer filed for divorce from Caussin, citing "inappropriate marital conduct, irreconcilable differences and adultery". Two days after the pair split, a temporary restraining order was issued by the Williamson County, Tennessee court.[19]

On May 20, 2021, it was reported that Kramer and Caussin reached an agreement with custody and child support. According to the documents, Kramer was awarded primary custody of Jolie and Jace.
