Johnathan Schaech, best known as WHO?!, has split from his wife of one month. ONE. MONTH. He and actress Jana Kramer (One Tree Hill) got engaged in July 2009, and were married in Michigan last month. I’ll admit, I only know who Johnathan is because he was once married to Christina Applegate, and I would never have been able to pick this Jana Kramer out of lineup, even now that I’m looking at a photo of her. This story only interests me because they could only make it work for one month. You’ve got to ask – how bad was it? I mean, seriously? What was wrong with him? That’s a pretty big defect if you were engaged for a year and the marriage didn’t last more than five weeks.
Actor Johnathon Schaech and One Tree Hill actress Jana Kramer have split after only a little more than a month of marriage.
The couple got engaged in 2009 and were married Fourth of July weekend in Michigan.
Jana’s rep Janice Lee tells Life & Style, “Jana and Johnathon have agreed to dissolve their marriage. Jana is humbled by the outpouring of support from her fans, friends and family, and appreciates the respect of her privacy.”
Why did the couple call it quits so quickly?
A source close to Jana tells Life & Style exclusively, “Jana is a good 14 years younger than Johnathon. She moved in with him within six months or less of dating. She really didn’t like living there. It was his bachelor pad and just not enough space for the both of them.”
This is the second failed marriage for Johnathon. In 2007 he divorced Samantha Who star Christina Applegate, who recently announced that she is expecting her first child with fiancé Martyn Lenoble.
[From Life & Style]
So they’re getting divorced because she didn’t like his bachelor pad? Jana should have either redecorated or just nagged him until they bought a new place. Didn’t her mother teach her anything? I don’t believe that story, actually. I don’t buy that they split because of real estate and decorating. I think the story is probably a lot juicier, maybe something involving cocaine, prostitutes, an extensive collection of 1970s porn, an unsolved murder and a goat. Let me grab my monocle! Meet me in the library.
Update by Celebitchy I was trying to remember where I knew this guy from. I checked out his IMDB page and was like “nope, haven’t seen him in anything.” Then I thought I might have covered a story with him, and I did – he posted his proposal video to this chick on Facebook last December and we made fun of it. I asked if it was “creepy or sweet” and noted that Schaech seemed full of himself. Someone claiming to be Schaech commented on the site a few days after we wrote the story. His IP put him in Gelndale, California and it really sounded like him to me. Here’s part of what he wrote, and you can check out the original comments on the post – he left two and actually responded to someone.
hA! Just having some fun…we just wanted to have some fun over the holiday break and we played with a goofy show on facebook called JANA – THON AND THE MOHAWK. We stayed up back in MARYLAND drank wine and edited five episodes on Jana’s apple. Had fun with our little FLIP videos…I used this quote ’show’ to help make the moment I proposed to be a surprise. Jana thought we were going skating to do another fun episode. I don’t take myself to serious thus the mohawk. But I’m glad some people think I’m good looking even with the ridiculous strip of hair on my head. I am full of myself these days…have you seen my fiance. A lot of the commenters here might want to try doing something creative with their time and lives. I found some of their comments on this page very entertaining. Happy New Year everyone…ain’t FACEBOOK fun…it’s amazing how this thing spread. Ha! I never thought this would get out like this. I hope everyone can just enjoy our moment of joy. They’re hard to come by. Give me something I can hold on to. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Johnathon
It looks like the moment of joy was short-lived. We’ve e-mailed Schaech for comment but I doubt he’ll get back to us. If he does, we’ll let you know.

Never saw One Tree Hill, but didn’t someone else from that show have a ridiculously short marriage a few years ago?
The sex got boring. The end.
She’s adorable–love her dimples. Maybe the marriage was a last ditch effort to “fix” something that was already wrong. We all know how well that (or having a child for the same reason) works out. Too bad it didn’t work, but at least they didn’t waste years of their life on it. No shame in admitting you made a mistake and moving on as quickly as possible, IMO.
ew. that looks like a father/daughter picture.
I seem to remember, when he and Applegate divorced, that there were stories about how he’s pretty much an arrogant asshole and is EXTREMELY hard to live with.
Considering he’s in the “WHO?” category, I don’t know where he gets his arrogance from.
I don’t even want to BEGIN to imagine how the goat factors into this mystery. I bet Xenu’s in there too somwhere….
He looks like a creep and she looks young and stupid. Case closed.
Who are these people?? Is One Tree still on?
JC126- Sophia Bush and that dude, the blonde hair one were married for what….five months?
There were rumors that he cheated on her with Paris Hilton on their wedding day.
She has such pretty skin!!!!!! Why can’t I have pretty skin like that!??!? *Stomps foot*
This was a funny article! Good job Kaiser.
He was in a movie with Gwyneth Paltrow too, I think. An older one. He was cute back then. Who knows what happened, to me it sounds like cheating? Or a very, very dirty secret one of them discovered about the other after the marriage. I’m leaning towards the former, strictly speculation, of course. I am not inclined to hate him at this point, simply if he cheated. That would make him no different than many other Hollywood type dudes. Then again I don’t know the story behind his divorce from Applegate…
Pretty sad to end it after one month. I agree, something big must have happened or was discovered.
I only know of him because of Christina Applegate, and have no idea who she is.
When her character first came on OTH I couldn’t stand her but as her character is leveling out and becoming more normal it makes me like her more as a person. She seems fun and I never liked these 2 together. Wasn’t he the creepy stalker guy in Prom Night. Weirdo.
He was Liv Tyler’s a-hole boyfriend in That Thing You do. Guess it wasn’t much of a stretch for him.
She looks so smooth and shiny and he looks so dirty and scratchy. I wonder if she made him wrap himself up in plastic before they had sex because he’d have left some major body and beard burn on her.
I totally see either drugs or her catching him boning other men or women as the reason for the split.
He looks just that skeevy. Like he lives in a van down by the river.
Wasn’t this chick involved with Eddie Cibrian?
What happened? He used to be so adorable looking. I remember him from “That Thing You Do” with Liv Tyler and another hottie.
He looks awful now.
Yeah, I don’t know who either of these people are, but I need to know more about this one month thing. I mean, you were together for over a year and engaged for 6 months. You don’t like the apartment so you dump the guy? huh?
And people keep saying that gay marriage is destroying the concept of marriage… really, it’s the gays? Not these twits?
Um, pregnancy scare?
Aenflex- Was it Hush?
Anyway, he used to be kind of handsome, now he gives me rapey vibes.
It’s terrible of me, I know, but it just might be him, since his marriage with Christina Applegate didn’t work either. Perhaps he isn’t marriage material.
wasn’t he in that epic classic, Roadhouse Part 2?
She’s beautiful,so sweet!!He was once a very good looking guy.I think he still has it.
“Welcome to Woop Woop” horrible movie, hot guy.
CB, can we lose the drop down ads please?
She’s very cute. It had to have been a rushed decision in the heat of the moment. Not the first time in history. Hopefully it can end amicably.
@ snarf: you crack me up..
Ok whatever, the guy is handsome still. He was to die for in Hush, and so what if he’s scruffy he’s obviously still gorgeous. Sounds like a nice guy but maybe kind of dumb, a shallow well to draw from you know?
Why do some people (famous or not) even bother getting married? You know what my attitude is? If you’ve had multiple marriages that ALL seem to fail, maybe, just maybe you yourself ARE the problem and should stop taking vows and the sancttity of marriage as something to do to just past the time…..
Celebitchy: I’m usually with you about a lot of things, but I have to say that it really irked me to no end that in the post you asked “how bad was it…what was wrong with HIM” that the couple couldn’t make it work. I mean, it is automatically assumed that all marriages fail because the guy did something wrong?! You cannot really mean that! I’m a little dissapointed in you : (
@ Patrice (#28): Because chances are it WAS because of him. Are you familiar with men at all, ever met one? lol…
Schaech was smokin’ hot eye candy in “How to Make an American Quilt” with Winona Ryder. That’s what I remember him from. Haven’t seen him in anything else. Good chick flick.

Awww, they’re both purty people and will rebound with some hot pieces in no time!
Don’t cry for them, Argentina; they’ll be just fine.
Nicely done.
i wish she had come to her senses BEFORE marrying him.
i wish he had been sensible enough not to publicly humiliate himself like this. he was so confident of her love mere months ago. i feel sad for him.
Who are these people? I read the whole post and am still trying to figure out if I’ve ever seen him before. I don’t watch a lot of tv or movies… But, I read gossip about tv and movie actors daily, regardless! Still, no clue here. She’s very pretty though and I loved Kaiser’s hilarious comments towards the end of the article. Actually, Kaiser was pretty hilarious throughout!
What happened to his face ???
I still think he is so very handsome. She is beautiful. They are obviously from 2 different planets – and the big age difference surely didn’t help. They will both land on their feet and be fine.
