She said she would never forget the moment the verdict was read after a four-week trial and how all the charges against her parents repeatedly came out as "guilty" repeatedly. The 25-year-old added, "And I just saw the looks on my parent's faces and just everything, they were just in tears. We were not expecting that, we were like, 'There's no way."

Since the sentencing, she has been taking care of her younger brother Grayson and niece, Chloe. However, the responsibilities have taken a toll on her, leading her to suffer from a breakdown in the past.

She disclosed on an episode of her podcast "Unlocked With Savannah Chrisley," the challenges she faced as the primary caretaker of the 16-year-old and 10-year-old since her parents began serving their sentence.

The "Royal Pains" actress shared that the overwhelming responsibilities led her to a "full-on breakdown," recounting a moment when she struggled to find the right clothes and hair accessories for her niece's visit to their parents. She also admitted feeling inadequate and unworthy of filling in for her mother during her absence.

The "Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens" star has found happiness in her love life while also shouldering the responsibility of being the guardian to her younger sibling and niece.

Despite the challenges of being the eldest child in a large family like hers, The Blast noted that the podcaster is slowly getting back into dating after her parents' legal troubles put it on hold. 

While taking on the caretaker role, she revealed that she found love again during a chat on "Off The Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe." "I am dating someone," the "Hollywood Game Night" star said.

However, she stated that she wanted to keep the relationship private for now and in a "safe place" until she figured out the direction it was headed towards. The TV personality is cautious about navigating her personal life to ensure that she is not neglecting her duties. 

As a result of this, she made it clear to her new love interest that her younger brother and niece were "a package deal." She emphatically stated, "This is what you're getting into. Guess what? There's two kids; my parents aren't in the greatest place in the world right now. You know it all, 110 percent transparency. If you're in, you're in. If you're out, you're out."
