The actress-turned-country singer shared photos of her engagement to soccer coach Allan Russell on Instagram, showing off her ring. The couple also posed with Kramer's children Jolie and Jace after Russell popped the question. In that photo, the little girl imitated her mom's ring-reveal hand pose.
Kramer additionally included a picture of a note that Russell left for her on the fridge that reads, "I love you. You are special and you deserve the happy ending. ?? Allan."
The couple became "Instagram official" in January and made their red carpet debut at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Many of Kramer's celebrity friends shared their best wishes for the happy pair amid the big news.
Former Bachelorette Ali Manno wrote, "Congratulations!!! So happy for you!!!, while Savannah Chrisley opted for a short yet expressive comment: "OMG ????." Kelly Rizzo also wished her congratulations, writing, "I can't. I’m speechless yet crying at same time!!!! I love you!!!!!! SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!! ???????????????????? (calling you for deets)."
"CONGRATS!!!!!!!! I’m so freakin excited for you. You guys are perfect together," remarked celebrity fitness guru Erin Oprea. Entertainment Tonight correspondent Cassie DiLaura added, "So dang happy for you sweet friend and your happily ever after. Emerald sisters for life!!!!! ??????"
Kramer also spoke about her engagement on her podcast Whine Down, revealing that Russell asked her to marry him while the family took a walk to their new home. "Jolie started jumping up and down. It's like she knew what was happening," said Kramer.
This would be Kramer's fourth marriage. She first married Michael Gambino, but divorced him not long into their marriage. Kramer later opened up about the physical and emotional abuse she suffered during their relationship. Gambino, who committed suicide in 2012, was sentenced to six years in prison for attempted murder.
She then married Johnathon Schaech in 2010 after meeting him on the set of slasher flick Prom Night. They divorced after a year of marriage.
The One Tree Hill alum's last marriage was to football player Mike Caussin, whom she married in 2015. She had her two kids with him and ended their marriage in 2021 after alleged adultery.
