Actress and country singer Jana Kramer and her husband, former NFL player Mike Caussin, opened up about their martial problems and dealing with Caussin's sex addiction in an interview with "Nightline" -- their first sit-down interview since coming forward on their iHEARTRadio podcast, "Whine Down with Jana Kramer and Mike Caussin."
"We're not #relationshipgoals, and in a way that everything is perfect, because it's not," Kramer told "Nightline." "We have more lows than highs, but we're fighting through those things."
Caussin, who said he's now one year sober, also revealed he'd spent 60 days in a residential treatment facility near Nashville and has been in a 12-step program the nearly three years since.
"Jana and I were honest for one another and we said we hadn't been perfect, but let's try to be," Caussin said. "And one of the most painful things that Jana and I still have feelings around is she was able to change for me, but I wasn't able to change for her."
