Brantley Gilbert Dating Jana Kramer
Brantley Gilbert let a pretty big secret slip during a recent radio interview. Turns out the country rocker has been dating actress-turned-singer Jana Kramer. The pair met for the first time while at the CMT Awards this past June. During an interview with Atlanta radio station WKHX’s morning show, Brantley admitted that they were a couple. Cadillac Jack, one of the morning show personalities, saw a picture of Brantley in Jana’s bunk while interviewing her on her bus last week.
After much persuasion from the show’s hosts, Brantley finally said:
“To answer your question, yes. And and I’m a very, very happy man. Yes, I am with Jana Kramer.”
Listen to the full interview here on the podcast and let us know what you think about country music’s newest couple.

Jana Kramer Describes Music Success as “Unbelievable”
Jana Kramer, former actress on The CW’s “One Tree Hill,” transitioned from acting to singing without a hitch. After Jana decided to pursue her music career and bid farewell to her role as Alex Dupre on The CW’s longest running series, she says people were skeptical. However, Jana’s success in country music turned those skeptics to supporters almost immediately.
Jana’s first single “Why Ya Wanna?” was the most-added song of a debut artist since the inception of the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart. “Why Ya Wanna?” also reached the Top 20 on the charts, further validating the actress-turned-artist’s career path decision. As if a Top 20 hit wasn’t enough validation, Jana’s self-titled debut album hit Number 1 on iTunes the week of its release. It is clear that Jana has been welcomed by peers and fans throughout the genre.
