The Chrisleys have always been in the spotlight, whether for their reality TV shenanigans, legal issues, or public appearances. Former President Donald Trump has declared that he intends to pardon Todd and Julie Chrisley, who have been serving prison for financial offenses since early 2023. This abrupt shift in their narrative has reignited public interest in what the Chrisleys are up to today and what lies next.
Presidential Pardon: A Second Chance for the Chrisleys
On May 27, 2025, Trump advisor Margo Martin broadcast a video on X (previously Twitter) of Trump alerting Savannah Chrisley about her parents’ imminent pardons. Savannah shared an emotional Instagram video, characterizing Trump’s conversation as life-changing. She recalls hearing the news while shopping at Sam’s Club, making the experience even more bizarre.
Todd and Julie Chrisley were jailed in 2022 for defrauding banks of more than $30 million and for tax evasion. Todd was sentenced to 12 years, Julie to seven. Their popular show Chrisley Knows Best was later terminated, along with its spin-offs. With this presidential pardon, the couple may be able to return home soon, although it remains unclear how they want to rehabilitate their public image.
Savannah Chrisley: Transforming Pain Into Purpose
Savannah, the couple’s most visible child, turned misfortune into an opportunity. At 27, she is not just a social media influencer, but also the host of the podcast Unlocked, where she discusses complex emotional and societal issues. Her topics range from mental health to familial trauma, attracting thousands of devoted listeners. Savannah is also a health entrepreneur, running her own company that sells vitamins and lifestyle products.
Her political activity has grown as well. She spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention, establishing her public profile beyond entertainment. Savannah has built a brand that is equal parts inspiration and perseverance as she continues to advocate for her family and share her personal narrative.
Chase Chrisley, From Spin-Off Star to Entrepreneur
Chase Chrisley, now 28, starred alongside Savannah in the spin-off Growing Up Chrisley. Chase, who was known for his charisma and comedic timing, has recently ventured into business. In 2024, he debuted his own candle collection, emphasizing luxury and sustainability. He also owns a roofing firm in Georgia, illustrating his transition to hands-on entrepreneurship.
Chase has kept a lower public profile than Savannah, but his enterprises indicate a preference for stability and long-term growth over rapid popularity. His social media presence combines light comedy with updates on his enterprises and personal life, allowing him to stay in touch with his fans.
What Happens Next for the Chrisley Family?
With the impending pardons, the Chrisleys could soon be reunited. The public will be watching to see how Todd and Julie re-integrate into society and if their media presence returns. Will there be a podcast, documentary, or book deal? It remains to be seen.
For the time being, the family’s comeback tale is taking place in real time. Their journey from luxurious living to incarceration and, hopefully, redemption has captivated millions across America. As their lives progress, so does their impact in both the entertainment and political world.
