Jana Kramer proves she’s just like Us with her past and present celebrity crushes.

“Back in the day, I used to be a huge JTT [Jonathan Taylor Thomas] fan,” the One Tree Hill alum, 40, exclusively shares in the newest issue of Us Weekly. “And then, [my husband] Allan [Russell] knows this, so I can answer this. I’m a big fan of Sons of Anarchy. It’s not so much Charlie Hunnam; it’s his character, Jax Teller.”

Despite her famous crushes, Kramer found her true love in Russell, 43, whom she wed during an intimate Scotland ceremony on July 13. Her 8-year-old daughter, Jolie, and 5-year-old son, Jace — whom she shares with ex-husband Mike Caussin — served as the wedding’s flower girl and ring bearer, respectively. Her and Russell’s son, Roman, who was born in November 2023, sported an adorable baby-sized kilt.

As the mom of three young kids, Kramer is focused on keeping herself and her family healthy. The actress recently partnered with the protein powder company Orgain to share recipes to help parents through the back-to-school season.

“I actually have been drinking Orgain since I had Roman, because postpartum, I’m like, ‘All right, you know, it’s time to get my body back in shape,’” she tells Us, adding, that Orgain’s kid-friendly protein shakes are the only ones her kids like.

“I’m throwing them in their lunch boxes and before any sports. When they want a snack, they usually go into the fridge and grab one of the shakes,” Kramer shares. “It’s nice to know that not only is it good for them, but they like the taste, and I think that sometimes can be really hard.”

Us: Do you have a bad habit that you’re trying to break?

Kramer: I can go [to] negative self-talk quicker than positive self-talk. So for me, it’s like I have to wake up every morning now and go, like, ‘Today’s gonna be a great day,’ and, you know, ‘Everything’s good.’ And so, it’s like I started off trying to be positive, because sometimes I can just let the world of other negative stuff kind of bog me down.

Us: Who was the last famous person you asked to get a selfie with?

Kramer: Danielle Fishel from Boy Meets World. She’s so cute — I was like, “I’m such a fan!” It was at the iHeartRadio Music Awards; I was so pregnant.

Us: What was the last thing that you waited in line for?

Kramer: Popcorn at the concession stand at my daughter’s softball game. Jace was like, “I want popcorn,” and I’m like, “All right!”

Us: Is there a fashion trend that you’re sick of seeing?

Kramer: I think low-rise jeans are coming back in, and I’m not a fan of that. So if we could just keep the high-waisted, that would be great!

Us: Do you have a habit that drives your husband crazy?

Kramer: Probably leaving my yogurt cartons around the house.

Us: Who’s the last person that you texted?

Kramer: Sara Brice, who’s married to [country singer] Lee Brice. I asked her, “Could you drive four hours by yourself?” Because I have this thing where I have anxiety driving on the expressway for a long time. And she goes, “Yes. Why? I’d be in Heaven.” And then my husband texted me five minutes [later] that he wanted eggs, but I didn’t text him back because we’re doing this.
