Four months after announcing their pregnancy, country singer Jana Kramer and fiancé Allan Russell have welcomed their first child together. Jana shared the news on Instagram, revealing that they had a baby boy named Roman James Russell on November 13. The couple expressed their joy and gratitude, stating that they feel blessed to have the opportunity to create something so special together.
In a statement to People, Jana and Allan explained that the name Roman wasn’t inspired by anyone specific but was chosen because it’s a strong name they both love. The middle name, James, is a nod to both of their grandfathers.
This new addition joins Jana’s two children, daughter Jolie (7) and son Jace (4), from her previous marriage to Mike Caussin. The arrival of Roman James Russell follows the couple’s engagement announcement five months ago. country singer Jana Kramer
“So, Allan and I have been dating for…six and a half months,” she said during a May episode of her iHeart Radio Whine Down podcast. “And he asked me to marry him.”
As the 39-year-old noted, the sweet proposal happened during a family walk to their new house—and was made complete with two very important people by their side.
“It was a really beautiful night…we were all sitting on the porch of the steps and looking out at the view, it’s stunning,” she shared. “And he said my name and I got up or whatever and he got down on one knee and then Jolie just started jumping up and down, it was the cutest thing ever, it was like she knew what was happening.”
And the moment was as sentimental as you can imagine.
“The kids were super excited then we walked down the hill, watched the sunset,” she shared. “It was perfect.”
