Jana Kramer is addressing the rumors of her new mystery man.
After sending her fans into a frenzy with a recent Instagram Story, the 38-year-old mama is clearing the air about her current relationship status.
The "I Got the Boy" singer previously posted a story of a bathrobe that was embroidered with the letter "C" for her ex-husband Mike Caussin's last name. Instead, she made a letter "K" with black marker to represent her own last name.
"When u have to sharpie a robe because u haven't worn it since being divorced," she captioned the snap, per Us Weekly. "Dear Santa, I need a robe with a K."
But what caught most of her followers' attention was the reflection of a shirtless mystery man in the back of the photo, which led to an avalanche of questions about her current love life.
In the latest episode of Kramer's "Wine Down" podcast, the actress admitted she's not ready to divulge the details of her budding relationship just yet.
"I feel like there's no way that someone can be honest and that it can be good….I think I'm so afraid of, like, I'm used to just war and not being on steady ground," she reportedly explained in the Thursday, December 16, episode.

"My therapist said, 'You're used to standing in sand so you can never really get your footing,' so when something can be, or looks like it could be steady, it's like, 'Oh that freaks me out,' like, 'That can't be real,'" she continued, per the outlet. "For seven years, I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Clearly, there's another shoe to drop and I don't want to be fooled again."
The One Tree Hill alum wed the former athlete in 2015, but the pair divorced earlier this year following multiple cheating scandals. The former spouses share two children: Jolie, 5, and Jace, 2.
While the Holiday Fix Up actress — who was briefly linked to Jay Cutler — admitted she was "starting to warm up" to the idea of going public with her dating life, she still has some reservations.
"I don't want to be embarrassed again," she reportedly admitted. "I was mortified with the stuff that came out with my ex and I. I tried to change the narrative because I believed that we could have made it work but I also, when it happened again, now I look like a frickin' idiot."
"I look like a girl who should have left a long time ago," Kramer continued to confess. "I felt stupid and I don't want that to happen again. I'm so afraid."
Kramer's divorce from Caussin was finalized in July, which she called "just the beginning of my story."
