The star has been candid before about discussing her rocky relationship with Caussin on her podcast,Whine Down with Jana Kramer, and continues to share advice for those who may be going through similar obstacles in their own relationships.

“If two people are doing the work then there could be a great silver lining and that’s what we’re seeing. [Mike], for the longest time, wasn’t putting in the work, but nowwhen two people actually truly come togetherand put in the work, then it’s a huge change,” she adds.
