Inside the building of Jana Kramer's Tennessee home as she lists 'new start' house shared with ex Mi

September 09, 2024

COUNTRY star Jana Kramer is building a new home as she seeks to sell the “fresh start” house she shared with her ex-husband, The U.S. Sun has learned.

The singer and actress, 39, is having the new property constructed from scratch a stone’s throw from where she lived with ex Mike Caussin in an exclusive enclave in Franklin, Tennessee.

Workers could be seen on the lot, where they have already erected the new home’s wooden framework.

Meanwhile, Jana was spotted chatting with a neighbor as she dropped her daughter Jolie off to be picked up by the school bus.

It is not yet known what Jana paid for the land or how much the house will cost to build.

But properties in the neighborhood are priced from $1.9million, according to a custom home building firm operating on the same street where Jana is putting up hers.

The Why Ya Wanna hitmaker has put the five-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home she shared with ex-Mike on the market for $2,599,000.

She currently still lives at the 5,150-square-foot home with daughter Jolie, 6, and son Jace, 4.

It boasts a three-car garage, a half-acre fenced lot, a heated gunite swimming pool and spa with a lounge deck, custom lighting, and a wet bar.

Jana and Mike built the mansion from the ground up together after moving back to Tennessee from Los Angeles in 2019 and paying $1.3 million for the lot, according to Zillow.

The pair had moved away from Tennessee after getting back together following their separation in 2016 due to the former NFL tight end’s cheating.

The One Tree Hill star said at the time that the new home was a “fresh start” for the couple and that they wanted to raise Jolie and Jace in a different environment than Los Angeles.

The pair divorced in 2021, with Jana later claiming that Mike had cheated on her with more than 13 women.

Jana exclusively told The U.S. Sun earlier this week that she had an “amazing” getaway with her new beau in the UK - and will be returning in just weeks.

It came as she returned to the US on Wednesday night from visiting her new Scottish boyfriend, Allan Russell.

Speaking at Nashville airport after a nine-hour flight, the Why Ya Wanna hitmaker said of the trip: “It was amazing, thanks.

“I had a great time, I love England and I’ll be back in a few weeks.”

While in the UK, Jana posted a pic of herself grinning from ear to ear, with Allan hugging her from behind alongside a Doberman dog.

Jana also shared a TikTok video of the duo playing a couple’s challenge game.

Asked who was interested first and who said “I love you” first, both pointed at each other.

Jana first revealed that she was dating again in January but at first kept Allan's name secret.

The U.S. Sun exclusively confirmed his identity last month, revealing that he is a set-piece coach for the English Football League Championship club Norwich City.

A source said then that Jana had visited Allan twice in December and attended a few of his games after the pair first met during Thanksgiving.
