Todd Chrisley is searching for a stepdad.
Indeed, the former star of “Chrisley Knows Best” recently motivated his mother, Faye Chrisley, to re-enter the world of dating, approximately two months after he and his spouse Julie Chrisley were discharged from prison following presidential pardons for the charges concerning their tax offenses.
In the August 5th installment of the Chrisley Confessions 2.0 podcast, Todd playfully remarked about Jello shots that they have a tendency to make one’s attire disappear. His 80-year-old mother quipped in response, “Goodness gracious, they would scatter like scared rabbits.”
To tell the truth, Nanny Faye gently pointed out, “You see, I manage to keep a youthful appearance at eighty, but let me make it clear, I’m not peddling any secrets to eternal youth.
In response, Todd, who is 56 years old, retorted playfully, “I might just set you up on a dating platform instead.” To this, Nanny Faye humorously responded, “Feel free to do the same for yourself on a dating site.
Although Nanny Faye repeatedly expressed, “I’m not interested,” Todd persisted with humor as he shared his intentions of helping her find a companion.
Todd made a joke by saying, “We’re going to give you a stylish makeover,” before Julie, aged 52, added humorously, “She could be a contestant on ‘The Glamorous Bachelorette’.
As a devoted follower, I, Todd, wholeheartedly endorsed the suggestion right away, knowing it would align with my family’s joyful journey together. My children, Chase Chrisley, 29, Savannah Chrisley, 27, Grayson Chrisley, 19, and Chloe Chrisley, 12, are an integral part of my life shared with Julie, so any positive decision impacts our whole family.
“Mama, we could put you on there,” he said. “You could have 12 men.”
Nanny Faye then quipped, “Can’t even take care of one.”
Regarding the state of Todd and Julie’s marriage following 28 months apart while incarcerated: To put it mildly, their reunion on May 28 didn’t immediately spark feelings of romantic love.
Todd told his wife, “You’ve been aiming too low,” during their podcast conversation last month, implying that she had plenty of room for improvement.
Upon stepping out of the car for the first time and catching sight of you, he reflected, a thought crossed his mind to return. However, he soon decided instead to savor the moment, recognizing it as a special occasion.
The biggest shocker for Todd? Julie’s natural, brown hair color.
As he put it, “It was a rough moment, because I’d never seen you dark in my life.”

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase the text as follows:
I, being a lifestyle enthusiast, am here to share some insights about Todd Chrisley – a man who has made quite an impact on reality TV. Born in Georgia in 1969 and raised in South Carolina, he started his family with Teresa Terry, welcoming Lindsie in 1989 and Kyle in 1991 before their separation. Post-divorce, Todd married Julie Chrisley in 1996, and together they expanded the family with Chase, Savannah, Grayson, and the adoption of Chloe (Kyle’s daughter).
Julie faced a significant challenge when she battled breast cancer in 2012 but is now cancer-free. The couple’s life, along with their luxurious lifestyle in Atlanta and later Nashville, was chronicled on ‘Chrisley Knows Best’, a show that aired from 2014 to 2023. Spin-offs like ‘Growing Up Chrisley’ and ‘What’s Cooking With Julie?’ as well as podcasts by family members emerged from the show’s success.
However, in 2022, Todd and Julie were convicted of fraud and tax crimes. They initially pleaded not guilty but were sentenced to 12 and seven years in prison, respectively (with Todd being held in Florida and Julie in Kentucky). In a surprising turn of events, President Donald Trump pardoned them both in May 2025, leading to their release from prison.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase the given text as follows:
Born in September 1989, I am Lindsie Chrisley, Todd Chrisley’s eldest daughter from his marriage to Teresa. I attended Georgia State University where I met my former husband, Will Campbell. We got married in 2012 and I graduated the same year, giving birth to our son Jackson that December. Two years later, our reality show, “Chrisley Knows Best,” premiered.
My strained relationship with Todd was evident on the series, which lasted for five seasons. Will and I filed for divorce in 2016, and I left the show in 2017. Unfortunately, there was a public fallout between me and my family that persisted until 2022 when we reunited publicly on crossover episodes of our podcasts.
Todd expressed his feelings about this estrangement on “Chrisley Confessions,” stating, “God knows I wasn’t prepared for this estrangement, but in hindsight, we needed it.” However, the reunion was short-lived as I haven’t seen my dad “in quite some time” and have also become estranged from my siblings.
In April 2025, on Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra’s podcast, “Cate & Ty Break It Down,” I explained, “We can live in the same space doing the same things and not necessarily agree or align, and it’s no hate, it’s no ill will.”
Following their pardon in May 2025, I wrote on Instagram Stories, “With God all things are possible.
Kyle, born in August 1991, serves as Todd’s oldest son from his previous marriage to Teresa. In November 2012, he welcomed daughter Chloe with his former partner, Angela Johnson. However, in 2016, Chloe was adopted by Todd and his wife Julie.
Kyle was a regular on the first season of Chrisley Knows Best (with a brief appearance in 2021), but his past legal issues, strained family relationships (marked by periods of estrangement and reconciliation), and personal struggles such as addiction and mental health battles have been frequently highlighted in media. He openly discussed his sobriety in a 2019 Facebook post.
In 2021, Kyle married Ashley Nelson and became the stepfather to her children Haiden and Mackenzie. Regarding his relationship with Todd and Julie, he expressed optimism about rebuilding their bond following their release from prison.
“I believe they’re eager to return home and reunite with family,” he shared with TopMob News in May 2025, “and I remain hopeful that a fresh start could lead to another chance at reconciliation.
Chase, Todd’s first-born child with wife Julie, was born in June 1996. He gained fame alongside his family members on the television show Chrisley Knows Best. In addition to that, he co-starred with his sister Savannah on the spin-off series Growing Up Chrisley from 2019 to 2022.
Chase was previously engaged to Emmy Medders, but they split and officially ended their relationship in 2023. Later that year, he started dating Jodi Laine Fournerat. Photos of them together can often be found on his Instagram account, as well as pictures with his grandmother, Nanny Faye Chrisley.
Following the incarceration of his parents, Chase spoke about how his siblings rallied together. “We’ve definitely gotten a lot closer,” he said to Extra in 2023. “When you get hit with something like this, I feel like a lot of people either separate and go their own ways or they cling together, which is how we were raised. We’ve clung together and we’re still fighting.”
Chase encountered legal troubles himself in January 2025 when he was arrested in Atlanta on a simple battery charge for allegedly becoming intoxicated and slapping a bar manager after being asked to leave, according to police records obtained by TopMob News. His lawyers stated that “this incident has been entirely blown out of proportion.”
“He did not assault anyone,” they added. “Chase was trying to close out his tab and leave. We will be independently investigating the situation.”
Apart from his reality TV career, Chase is also an entrepreneur, having launched a candle brand and roofing company.
In August 1997, Todd and Julie became parents to Savannah. After starting her career in the pageant world, winning Miss Tennessee Teen USA in 2016 and competing for the Miss Teen USA crown, Savannah appeared on various reality and competition shows like “Chrisley Knows Best,” “Growing Up Chrisley,” “The Masked Singer,” and “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.” She is a real estate agent in Tennessee, founded Good Girl RX, hosts the podcast “Unlocked,” and took custody of her siblings while her parents were in prison.
Savannah got engaged to hockey player Nic Kerdiles in 2019 but they split up the following year. Tragically, he passed away after a motorcycle accident in 2023. She later dated Robert Shiver but they separated in April 2025.
At the 2024 Republican National Convention, Savannah emotionally shared that 72600019 and 72601019 were her parents’ identification numbers in the federal prison system. After former President Trump granted them pardons and their release, Savannah celebrated their homecoming with a heartwarming video, including a message reading “Reunited and it feels so good.
Grayson is the youngest child of Todd and Julie, who became well-known when their reality show, Chrisley Knows Best, debuted. Born in 2006, he’s currently a student at the University of Alabama, where people often recognize him. In an episode of Savannah’s podcast Unlocked from February 2025, he shared that this fame is more than it’s ever been before at his campus.
When Todd and Julie went to prison, custody of Grayson and his sister Chloe was granted to Savannah. In July 2023, she wrote on Instagram, “I’m not their mom or dad; I’m their sister. I get to love and guide them through life.” She continued, “Being a bonus parent is tough, but these kids have shown me so much love, patience, grace, understanding, and appreciation! Helping to raise these two kids is the hardest but most rewarding job I will ever have.”
Savannah’s relationship with Grayson has grown even stronger over time. In May 2024, for his 18th birthday, she wrote on Instagram, “Many people think I saved him, but little do they know… YOU saved ME.
Originally, Todd and Julie became Chloe’s grandparents when Todd’s son Kyle had a child with Angela Johnson in November 2012, and they later adopted her in 2016. Julie expressed her love for Chloe on Instagram in February 2018, stating, ‘This child brings so much joy to our family. What did we do without you?’
The couple’s journey with Chloe, also known as CoCo, was documented on the reality show Chrisley Knows Best. However, after Todd and Julie went to prison, Savannah assumed guardianship. For Chloe’s 11th birthday in November 2023, Savannah wrote on Instagram:
“Watching her grow has been the biggest blessing of my life… she has quite the personality! I wish I had her humor, her carefree spirit, and her heart. She is everything that I hope to be one day! There isn’t a day that goes by where she doesn’t teach me something new. Because of her… we are all better people! I love you sweet girl! KEEP SHINING! NEVER GIVE UP! And ALWAYS KNOW… I AM HERE for YOU!”
After Trump pardoned Todd and Julie, Savannah shared Chloe’s reaction on a May 2025 episode of News Nation: ‘Chloe seems to still be in shock, and she doesn’t want to get her hopes up because she feels like something bad’s going to happen,’ she said. ‘But I’m excited to be going to get my dad and bringing him home to her.’
Faye Chrisley, affectionately known as “Nanny”, is Todd’s mother. In a heartfelt Instagram post for Mother’s Day in 2021, Todd expressed his deep love and gratitude towards Nanny, stating that she fills his heart with love, hope, faith, and confidence.
Born in September 1944 in South Carolina, Nanny married army veteran Gene Chrisley and together they had sons Todd, Randy Chrisley, and Derrick Chrisley, the latter of whom passed away as a baby. Sadly, Gene also passed away in 2012.
On the reality TV show “Chrisley Knows Best”, Nanny won over fans with her humor, adventures with sister Frances (who passed away in 2022), dating stories, and advice. Whether she was gambling, enjoying a glass of wine, or spending time with family, Nanny showed viewers how to have a good time.
However, Nanny has faced hardships as well. In 2021, she was diagnosed with bladder cancer, but by 2023 she shared that she had successfully overcome her health battle, as reported by People. On Lindsie’s podcast “The Southern Tea”, Nanny revealed that she was in remission and was doing her best to get back to normal life.
In a conversation on Savannah’s podcast “Unlocked”, Nanny expressed that life doesn’t always deal you a good hand, but you play the cards you are given as best as you can. You pick yourself up, brush off the dust, and keep moving forward.
