Jana Kramer faces 'a lot of pressure' to provide for her family
Jana Kramer has confessed to compromising her values for the sake of her family.
Jana Kramer has accepted jobs that challenge her "moral compass".
The 41-year-old star has to pay child support cheques to ex-husband Mike Caussin, and Jana admits that financial pressures have influenced some of her career decisions.
Jana - who has Jolie, nine, and Jace, six, with Mike, as well as Roman, 19 months, with current husband Allan Russell - told Fox News Digital: "There's definitely some things, some ads that I'm like, ‘Oh, I wish I could have gone back and maybe not done that ad,’ but you know, you learn and you go back and you go, ‘All right, I'm not gonna do that one again,’ you know?
"So sometimes when you gotta pay that child support cheque, it's just like, ‘Well, this is a good cheque money. I'm gonna take this.'"
Asked if she was referring to a commercial in which she promoted a sex toy, Jana replied: "It’s OK, honestly it is what it is.
"I'm not gonna do it again, like you know what I mean? Like I'm like, OK, I'm good now, like, you know? Like we're good, we're levelling up to a different [place], you know?"
Jana has occasionally comprised her values because she needs to provide for her family.
She said: "I am a sole provider, where I have a lot of pressure on my shoulders to provide for my kids. And so I think that piece of it sometimes outweighs my moral compass."
Jana is best known for playing Alex Dupre on One Tree Hill. And the actress - who starred on the TV show between 2009 and 2012 - previously revealed that she's eager to star in a reboot.
She told TooFab in 2024: "I definitely talked to Sophia [Bush, her former co-star] about it and it's one of those things where she's kind of getting a temperature check on who would come back."
Jana is a fan of reboots and she's keen to see what the show's characters are up to now.
She shared: "I love when shows get rebooted and they bring back old characters because I like to see what they're up to.
"I understand if they don't. I understand why some actors don't want to come back to a show that's been done, and they have closed that chapter. But for the viewers and the fans, I want to know what they're up to, what they're doing."
