AceShowbiz - Congratulations are in order for Jana Kramer and Allan Russell. The former "One Tree Hill" star revealed that she and her fiance are "overjoyed" as well as "truly grateful" after welcoming their first baby together on Monday, November 13.
Speaking to PEOPLE on Tuesday, November 14, the 39-year-old actress voiced her feelings after the baby's arrival. "Allan and I are both overjoyed and truly grateful to announce the birth of our son, Roman James Russell. We feel blessed to have been given the chance to create something so special together," she said.
During the chat, Jana explained the meaning behind the newborn's name. "The name Roman really isn't inspired by anyone, it's just a strong name that we both love," she elaborated. "But James (his middle name) was both of our Grandpa's names, so that was a nod to them."
Later on that day, Jana uploaded via Instagram a series of heartwarming family photos featuring Roman. One of the pictures captured the "Whine Down" podcast host cradling the newborn baby while Allan leaned his forehead on hers. In the meantime, she was smiling from ear-to-ear as she closed both of her eyes.
Another snap saw Jana and Allan sweetly looking at each other as the "The Next Chapter: Making Peace with Hard Memories, Finding Hope All Around Me, and Clearing Space for Good Things to Come" author held Roman in one of her arms while the engaged couple was sitting on a hospital bed. A third photo showed Allan enjoying his time with Roman while cradling his son.
A fourth picture captured Jana's 7-year-old daughter Jolie and 4-year-old son Jace, whom she shares with her former husband Mike Caussin, seemingly excited by Roman's arrival. Jolie and Jace appeared cheerful while adoringly gazing at their younger brother. In addition, Jolie was pictured holding a bouquet of flowers in one of her hands.
Along with the photos, Jana announced in the caption of the post, "Welcome to the world sweet Roman James Russell." She went on to write, "Blessed beyond measure for this little miracle. 11.13.2023. 6lbs 1oz."
It did not take long for the post to be flooded with congratulatory messages from Jana's pals. One in particular was "Selling Sunset" star Chrishell Stause who exclaimed, "Perfection! Awwww so so happy for you!!!" Similarly, "Dancing with the Stars" winner Peta Murgatroyd marveled, "What an angel congratulations babe! Xo."
