How the Kardashians Triggered Pain for Jana Kramer

Keeping up with the Kardashians sometimes isn’t a good idea for Jana Kramer.

The host of iHeartRadio’s Whine Down with Jana Kramer podcast opens up about how cheating allegations against Khloe Kardashian’s boyfriend Tristian Thompson reminded Jana of her own past with husband Michael Caussin’s infidelity.

“I got triggered with the Khloé and Tristan stuff. … Sometimes I lash out: ‘I can’t believe you did that,’” she tells Michael during the podcast’s newest episode. “My job now is to stay present. What is he doing to actively fight and be good? He isn’t doing those things anymore. It’s tough. It’s hard for him to see why I’m hurt.”

Jana and the former NFL tight end separated after news of his infidelity broke in 2016. They reconciled following treatment at a marriage counseling retreat.

“She said, ‘Look, I’m giving you every opportunity. I am here. I am willing to work on this,’” Michael says of Jana. “’I want this family to work.’ Basically, step up or get out. And it got to a point of an ultimatum and that’s where I hit my breaking point. She hit her breaking point. I hit mine.”

As they continue to work on open communication, Jana and Michael renewed their wedding vows in December.
