CLUES ABOUT HER NEW BEAU
Earlier this month, Jana first publicly announced she’s in a new relationship on her Whine Down podcast.
She revealed he was an athlete from Scotland and said that she was in England at the time and also paid a visit to his native country.
“It’s just so funny how life and the world works,” Jana stated on her podcast, referring to the last time she was in Scotland was with her ex Mike.
“I never would’ve…four years ago to be like, ‘Oh yeah, I’m gonna be divorced and then I’m gonna come back here with a boyfriend who grew up here.'”
Then, in a new episode revealed on Sunday, the One Tree Hill actress went more in depth about her new beau.
She teased that he has a child, and also said he hasn’t met her own kids yet.
“I’ve done a really good job at not introducing the kids to people. And obviously they haven’t met the new boyfriend,” she stated on her podcast.
“Having said that, the boyfriend and I are talking about future things.
“And in my mind, I’m like, it makes me excited… And with kids, I don’t want them to be in a place where their ground is not as steady as possible. Like I want them to be so secure, solid foundation, and I’m in charge of that.”
LASTING LOVE?
Jana further explained that she wants to believe this is “true love” and that she’s “going to get married” and “have a family,” but then there’s another side of her where “doubts and fears kind of creep in.”
She continued: “And then always my concern — I don’t care about me, my heart’s been broken a million times, I can deal with another broken heart — my kids, that’s a different story. They’re older now, they understand more now.”
Jana has been married three times in the past. While her first two marriages- with Michael Gambino and Johnathon Schaech- were short lived, she was married to Mike for six years, from May 2015 to April 2021.
The former NFL player allegedly cheated on her with multiple women and sought treatment for his sex addition prior to their split.
After that, the country singer was linked to The Bachelorette’s Graham Bunn and Kristin Cavallari’s ex Jay Cutler.
She then was in a relationship with Nashville-based fitness instructor Ian Schinelli for a few months last year.
Jana has not publicly revealed any of her other relationships since her split from Ian.
