‘It Was Difficult’: Jana Kramer Reveals Her Kids And Parents All Got COVID Days Before Her Wedding

As an ardent fan of Jana Kramer, I must say her life never fails to surprise me with its rollercoaster of emotions! The tale of her wedding to Allan Russell is a testament to their indomitable spirit and unwavering love, even in the face of adversity.


Listeners of Jana Kramer’s Whine Down podcast got a glimpse into the story behind her wedding with Allan Russell. In a podcast episode on July 29, Kramer, aged 40 and a country singer, revealed that their wedding at Carnell Estate was nearly disrupted by a COVID-19 scare. Just before the big day, both Kramer and her husband, a 43-year-old Scottish soccer player, experienced a wave of stress and illness. Remarkably, they were still able to create memorable moments amidst the chaos.

The ups and downs of Jana Kramer’s wedding to Allan Russell

In the Monday edition of her Whine Down podcast, Russell was a guest alongside country music artist Kramer. During their conversation, Kramer mentioned that she believes their children and parents likely contracted COVID-19 prior to their marriage, as they have a four-month-old son named Roman James together. Besides Roman, Kramer also has two other children, five-year-old Jace Joseph and eight-year-old Jolie Rae, from her previous marriage with Mike Caussin.

On July 13, during Kramer’s and the Scottish soccer player’s wedding at Carnell Estate on Saturday, she confessed her desire for everything to go flawlessly. Among her concerns was the possibility of guests falling ill at the event, as the former One Tree Hill star explained.

Kramer mentioned that things started going downhill when Russell’s dad picked them up from the airport, as he was visibly coughing. She added that many people on the flight to Glasgow had been coughing too. It later became clear that Russell’s father had been severely coughing in a small car with poor ventilation.

Jana Kramer’s struggle with sick kids and COVID concerns

As a devoted admirer, I’d rephrase it like this: Everything seemed hunky-dory until Russell Senior broke the news about his fever the day after. Then, Jolie started coughing and before I could blink, all three little ones were burning up. “Oh, dear me. Here we go again,” I found myself thinking as they succumbed to their high fevers. In due time, all three of our cherubs fell sick, with the thermometers showing readings of a scorching 104 degrees.

Following this, she verified that the kids had contracted croup and COVID-19. Additionally, Kramer shared that her parents, Martin and Nora, later tested positive for COVID-19 as they had been in contact with her three children. “It seems quite likely that it was COVID-19.”

Kramer found it difficult to celebrate her wedding while caring for sick children, but she wished for them to cherish the moment. Despite the situation being unalterable, Allan Russell mentioned that the kids weren’t feeling well. Kramer felt deeply saddened by this, but they made an attempt to involve the children in the festivities, even though a trip to Edinburgh wasn’t possible.

Kramer expressed his regrets as he found himself alone during the critical moments when the children fell ill, saying, “I wished I had someone by my side then.” On the 10th and 11th of July, the children’s temperatures soared unexpectedly.

As an over-the-moon fanatic, I can tell you from Kramer’s own words that she was plagued with apprehension and concern about falling ill before our grand nuptials and during our honeymoon. She went on to explain how this worry turned into sleepless nights for the remainder of our vacation, as she would awaken in a cold sweat, gripped by anxiety.

During that segment of the journey, she expressed sympathy for the children as they seemed unhappy. However, upon reflection, it appears those unpleasant moments have been forgotten by them. Interestingly, what they recall fondly are the castles and all the enjoyable experiences.
