Jana Kramer has publicly forgiven her cheating husband Mike Caussin on three separate occasions.
And now the country singer and her ex-footballer husband are opening up about his ‘sex addiction’ – talking to a clearly bemused Tamron Hall on her self-titled chatshow on Tuesday.
However, despite their openness, the couple are unwilling to divulge the number of times Caussin was unfaithful to his wife of four years.

Caussin explained: ‘That’s one of the, the only detail we’ve kept to ourselves privately.
‘The thing is, whether it’s once or a thousand, it doesn’t matter. I still committed those acts, I still caused pain and a rift in our relationship and hurt the woman that I loved, the damage has already been done.’
Kramer said she hoped being open about Caussin’s issues would help other couples, describing this as a ‘silver lining’.
Jana and Caussin first began dating in August 2014, splitting weeks later when he cheated on her. Then they reconciled and married in May 2015, welcoming daughter Jolie Rae Caussin in January 2016.

The two split again in September 2016 after his multiple infidelities during her pregnancy were exposed.
Jana reflected on the discovery that her husband had cheated on her during her first pregnancy, telling Tamron: ‘We had just celebrated a year and had a daughter who was 5 months old.
‘That was tough. And it’s still real hard to look back on those memories because to me, they were real, but how were they real when you were doing this?’
After reconciling, they renewed their vows in December 2017, and welcomed son Jace Joseph Caussin in November of 2018.
Prior to the baby’s birth last year, Caussin had what the couple termed a ‘sex addiction relapse’, but this time Jana stood by him, and the two didn’t split.

Asked why she took Caussin back, Jana said she came from a broken home, and didn’t want that for her children.
But she said to Caussin, without clarifying further: ‘Like, you could have gone to jail for some of the things that you did. Did you not think about that?’
Asked why he cheated, Cuassin, who has been to rehab to treat his sex addiction, explained: ‘I use sex for the same reasons that someone drinks, for the same reasons someone uses drugs. I used sex as my outlet.’
And Jana said of her husband ‘I trust him today.’
She added: ‘I can’t think about yesterday, the day before, the past, but today, he’s showing up, he’s a great dad today and I trust him.’
