Jana Kramer loves raising her family in Nashville
Jana Kramer told Fox News Digital she loves the values and culture in the Tennessee capital.
Nashville, Tenn. - Jana Kramer has her hands full with two kids under 10 years old and a one-year-old in the house.
"I love living here," she told Fox News Digital on the red carpet of Boot Barn and Wonderwest's charity event and fashion show in Nashville. "I love raising our kids here. I love the values. I love, just, you know, like I was raised in Michigan, and the manners here matter, just like they did in Michigan. And I think, you know, the culture here is good."
Kramer shares Jolie, eight, and Jace, six, with ex-husband Mike Caussin and one-year-old Roman with former soccer pro husband Allan Russell, whom she married in July.
The "A Cowboy Christmas Romance" star said that her favorite thing about motherhood right now is "just watching the three kids interact with each other."

"I mean, now that Roman's walking, and he is hanging with the other kids, it's so sweet to see their relationships forming," she added. "And then I would say the hardest part is just managing it all. You know, we don't have really a lot of help. It’s just us kind of like ‘All right, hey, I got this meeting at this time and then can you watch . . . ?’ So, I think that's the balance, because I really want to soak in this time with Roman, our one-year-old. So, I would say balancing is the toughest part."

Russell said the best part of fatherhood is "watching the little guy grow" now that he’s a year old, "and he's developed so much and continues to develop so much. So that's really rewarding as a father. The challenges, I think the big challenges, we don't have any family in town. So, it's always us and having to be creative when we want a date night like this."

Of the fashion show, Kramer joked that she is the "least fashionista person ever" and that she relies on her husband to tell her if her outfits look good.
Russell said he doesn’t have any cowboy boots and is interested in seeing what fashions they have at the show.
"Are we going to get a Scottish man in a pair of cowboy boots?" Kramer jokingly interjected, laughing, "This just in, breaking news on Fox."
Kramer moved to Nashville with Caussin in 2019, but they split in 2021.
She later said he had cheated on her with multiple women during their marriage. After she became engaged to Russell, however, the couple decided to stay to raise their family in Nashville, selling her home with Caussin and building a new one.
