Jana Kramer has insisted her husband ‘was joking’ when he said he had forbidden her from filming sex scenes
The 41-year-old actress has been married to soccer coach Allan Russell since 2024, and even though he previously claimed he wouldn’t allow her to appear on camera in any intimate scenes, she has now insisted that there is simply a “conversation” they have before she accepts any sort of acting job.
She told E! News: “He was joking.
“There’s a conversation with every [job] we take. It’s the same thing with his line of work.
“That’s what marriage is—it’s a conversation. It’s not like, ‘No, you cannot do this.’ I don’t think that’s healthy.”
However, the former One Tree Hill star – who has two-year-old son Roman with Allan as well as Jolie, nine, and six-year-old Jace with ex-husband Mike Caussin – explained that she will not be undressing on camera for “no reason” and that it would all have to be for something “creatively” challenging.
She said: “I’m not going to do something that is wildly taking my clothes off for no reason.
“If it is creatively gonna move the needle and it’s important to me for the role, he is so supportive.”
What’s more, Jana – who was initially married to Michael Gambino and then to Johnathon Schaech – insisted that her current husband is the reason behind the newfound “confidence” she has in her career.
She said: “I do owe a lot of it to my husband.
“In the past I wouldn’t have focused so much on the work because I was so worried about, ‘OK, what woman is he cheating on me with?’ I wasn’t able to truly settle and be confident.”
Despite Jana’s new comments on her husband, he previously insisted that he would “never” let another man get close to her.
Speaking to his wife on her Whine Down podcast, he said: “There’s not part of me that will ever, ever, ever allow that, ever, for a man to be that close to you like that.
“Never.”
