AceShowbiz - Jana Kramer and Mike Caussin get honest about their relationship issue amid reports of marriage turmoil. The couple sat down together for the first time in more than a month in a new episode of iHeartRadio's "Whine Down" podcast that aired on Monday, February 3.
Opening the episode, the country music star noted that "we still reserve our right to privacy to a certain extent and its out choice to come out and share a lot of this with you." She then addressed their relationship status, "This past month, we still have growing to do in our relationship together and both individually. For me, it was really a time to really dig into and face the facts of things that I could do better in my own recovery and growing as a person and growing as a husband."
Mike, owning up to his mistakes, chimed in, "I had to get real with myself and I had to realize that there are a lot of things in my life I'm not doing different and it feels at times that I'm going through the motion but even if I'm not relapsing or acting out or stepping outside of our marriage, if I'm still breaking boundaries or not being completely honest with things, how is that sober?"
He admitted that while he has failed to keep "living with integrity... We needed time to again grow individually and grow as a couple. We're not trying to dance around anything or withhold anything from our listeners."
Sharing her perspective on their issue, Jana added, "The reality is there was a boundary that was broken that was harmful for me because it was a discovery but again, it wasn't a physical acting out so that's why I'm very careful and I do want to protect you as well because I don't want people to think that it was a physical relapse but it was also such a big discovery with a boundary that was harmful to me in our relationship."
The 36-year-old singer went on stressing, "I've always said it's not about the act. It's about the lie. It's about the discovery because that brings me back to day one of the discovery."
Calling the past month "a really heavy month," Jana said while holding back tears, "It's the heaviness but it's all the gratefulness that we can still be sitting here conversating but it's also that fear too. That's been the hardest part of this month."
She additionally shared her hope that they will work this through, "I do feel hopeful with the tools that we've been learning but it's also very scary...I want so badly to move forward and to have that marriage that we've always talked about and to see the man that you say you're always going to be."
Jana and Mike sparked rumors that their marriage was on the rocks after she posted a cryptic message in January that read, "2019. Ur coming to a very interesting end....and for now, all I have to say is... Time heals all wounds." She also reportedly removed (then added) the word "wife" on her Instagram bio. Meanwhile, Mike did not co-host the "Whine Down" podcast for the entire month of January.
