Nashville is a lot smaller than it seems.
Jana Kramer ran into her ex-husband Mike Caussin while out with her new beau, Jay Cutler, at a rooftop bar — the same night the couple were pictured together for the first time.
“I was like, ‘This is awkward,’” the “One Tree Hill” alum, 37, said on Sunday’s episode of her “Whine Down” podcast, adding that Caussin, 34, replied, “‘Not at all.'”
Kramer admitted seeing the former NFL tight end flirt with other women right in front of her was “really hard” even though she was with Cutler, 38.
“I mean, granted, I was there as well doing my thing, but it was really hard,” she said. “You know what was hard? It looked so easy for him. Does that make sense? Where it’s like, it looked like it didn’t bother him one second, and that, like, hurt, you know? Because I was just like, he’s just untamed and uncaged and he’s happy.”
Kramer said she talked to her therapist about it and discovered that she would’ve just liked some “acknowledgment” from Caussin that it could “hurt a little bit.”
“A little piece of me was like, it would’ve been nice to be like, ‘Yeah, this is hard, but I’m glad we can be cordial,'” she said.
Kramer separated from Caussin in April after almost six years of marriage, and they finalized their divorce in July. They have a daughter, Jolie, 5, and a son, Jace, 2.
Meanwhile, Cutler is also recently out of a high-profile relationship with his ex-wife, Kristin Cavallari.

Cutler and Cavallari, 34, share three kids together: Camden, 9, Jaxon, 7, and Saylor, 5.
During Kramer and Cutler’s public debut at the opening of The Twelve Thirty Club, a photographer approached them to take a pic — which was the photo that confirmed the rumors of them dating.

Sources have previously alleged that Cutler is dating Kramer just to make Cavallari “jealous.”
The Uncommon James founder, for her part, is reportedly seeing country singer Chase Rice.
