Jana Kramer Addresses Misunderstanding About Husband Allan Russell’s Stance on Her Acting Roles
Jana Kramer is committed to being a dependable and encouraging presence in her family, emphasizing her role as a supportive partner over traditional expectations.
In her view, the One Tree Hill star prefers to be seen as a “cool friend” rather than just a stepmother to her husband Allan Russell‘s teenage son Troy, who comes from Allan’s previous relationship. This perspective allows her to cultivate a positive and open relationship.
During an episode aired on June 18 of iHeartRadio’s Whine Down with Jana Kramer podcast, she expressed her feelings candidly. “He’s got an amazing mom, he’s got you,” Jana remarked to Allan. “I just am here as a friend and support,” highlighting her desire to foster a friendly atmosphere.
Jana elaborated on her unique approach, stating, “Yes, I am a stepmom, but I look at it as not the mom, but as a friend because he’s got a great mom.” This sentiment reveals her intention to respect the existing family dynamics while still being a supportive figure.
Reflecting on her own experiences from a childhood shaped by divorce, she shared her apprehensions about the stepmom role. She revealed, “It’s like, ‘I’m not looking for another mom,’” recalling how she felt when her father introduced new partners to their family. This insight demonstrates her understanding of the complexities that can arise for stepparents, particularly when integrating into families with older children.
