Jana Kramer announced on Thursday she’s engaged to former soccer player Allan Russell after just six and a half months of dating.
After teasing that she’s “had a few things that I have been not been talking about,” she announced that Russell, 42, had proposed to her.
“He took me and the kids – we had some people over during the day — like a little pool party thing, summer hang. And he took me and the kids, he said it’s a beautiful night, let’s go for a walk,” she said on her “Whine Down” podcast.
She said they walked up to her new Tennessee house, set to be completed in August, and sat on the front porch steps.
“And Jolie just started jumping up and down,” Kramer said of her 7-year-old daughter whom she shares with ex-husband Mike Caussin. The former couple also share son Jace, 4.
“It was like the cutest thing ever. It’s like she knew what was happening” before Russell said anything, Kramer continued. “She started jumping up and down and then she was like ‘You’re getting married!’ And then he said — I kind of blacked out at that point. He said some things … and then we just both started crying.”
The “I Got the Boy” singer said the proposal felt “very sentimental” because they were on her new front porch “and new beginnings, and it just felt right.”
And while she didn’t have a timetable for their engagement before it happened, she knew “he’s my person. I trust him, there’s no anxiousness attached to that.”
Jolie also ended up telling Caussin she was engaged while the 7-year-old was Facetiming with her dad.

“He’s like ‘Ahh, that’s nice,’” Kramer said. “I would have liked to have told him, but I also don’t want Jolie to have to keep secrets from her dad.”
