Jana Kramer, best known for her role in “One Tree Hill,” and her fiancé Allan Russell are filled with joy as they welcome their first child together. Their son, Roman James Russell, was born on November 13th, weighing in at 6 pounds and 1 ounce.
In a heartfelt statement to People, the couple shared their happiness, saying, “Allan and I are both overjoyed and truly grateful to announce the birth of our son, Roman James Russell. We feel blessed to have been given the chance to create something so special together.”
When discussing the name, Jana revealed, “The name Roman really isn’t inspired by anyone, it’s just a strong name that we both love. But James, his middle name, was both of our grandpas’ names, so that was a nod to them.”
Jana also gave her Instagram followers a glimpse into her birthing experience. One photo shows her holding Roman shortly after his birth, while another captures a tender moment between her and Allan as he comforts her in the delivery room.
The 39-year-old actress surprised fans in June by announcing her pregnancy, just one month after revealing her engagement. Accompanying the announcement were photos of her positive pregnancy test, where she expressed her gratitude, saying, “Beyond blessed and grateful for this baby to be a part of our story.”
Allan, 42, joined in the excitement on social media, humorously predicting a shortage of yellow carbs or cheese due to Jana’s cravings over the coming months.
This isn’t Jana’s first time as a mother. She has two children from her previous marriage to Mike Caussin: Jolie, 7, and Jace, 4. Allan also has a teenage son from a prior relationship.
Jana’s past with Mike Caussin had its share of challenges, including his infidelity and treatment for sex addiction, which eventually led to their separation in 2021. Jana has been open about her journey of healing and moving forward.
Despite their split, Jana and Mike have remained committed co-parents, coming together for significant moments in their children’s lives, like Jolie’s father-daughter dance and Jace’s birthday party.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Jana Kramer and Allan Russell on their new addition to the family and wish them endless joy as they embark on this new chapter.
