The 25-year-old is now the primary guardian of her brother Grayson Chrisley and niece Chloe Chrisley after her parents' conviction.
Savannah Chrisley is doing her best to support her brother Grayson Chrisley and niece Chloe Chrisley. The 25-year-old took over as the primary guardian of Grayson, 16, and Chloe, 10.
It is a difficult time for her family, and the trio is trying to cherish little moments of joy. Chrisley uploaded a now-expired sweet note that Chloe left on her way to school, responding to the lunch notes Chrisley first prepared for Chloe. "When Chloe leaves a note in response to her lunch notes," Chrisley wrote on her Instagram story, showing a napkin from Chloe that read: "I love you more, Lov [sic] Chloe."
Chrisley called her brother and niece her "whole world" after a federal judge sentenced her father Todd, 53, and mother Julie, 50, to a combined 19 years in prison for tax fraud, per PEOPLE. "It takes A LOT of energy to be negative. I choose to laugh. I choose to smile. I choose to love. I choose to learn. I choose to be patient. I choose to be kind. I choose to find my hope in God. ❤️ Life can really SUCK sometimes… but these laughs and smiles have shown me that beauty can rise from the ashes. Nothing is forever…. Until we’re all together again… it’s 'The Three Musketeers'", she captioned a video montage of the family.
The TV personality opened up about "the toughest week" of her life after her parents started serving prison sentences on an episode of her Unlocked podcast. "It's been hard," she revealed on her podcast, which was recorded on January 24, 2023, saying, "It's been hard to understand, process, and also help two kids process what's going on in our life."
The Chrisley Knows Best star misses her parents dearly as she navigates life without them. As the holidays approach, she is reflecting on life without them.
In a recent Instagram post, she wrote, "In 25 years I have never spent a single holiday without my sweet mama and daddy. Not only is Easter this weekend… but my daddy’s birthday is tomorrow." She added, "When you lose someone special, your world lacks its celebratory qualities," noting how holidays magnify that loss. "The sadness deepens and the loneliness can feel isolating. What I have learned is the need for support may be the greatest during the holidays. Pretending you don’t hurt and/or it isn’t a harder time of the year is just not the truth for you. But you can – and will – get through the holidays. Rather than avoiding the feelings of grief, lean into them. It is not the grief you want to avoid, it is the pain. No one can take that pain away, but grief is not just pain, grief is love. I LOVE YOU MAMA AND DADDY!" she concluded.
