For the show, the Chrisley family's matriarch, Julie, was visibly troubled by her daughter's interest in the "Dances with Wolves" star. The former beauty pageant contestant began her gush feast by explaining that she and her mother were fans of the celebrated actor.

Julie noted that the revelation was "creepy and weird" because she had always loved Costner way before her daughter appeared. However, Savannah intensified the uncomfortable situation, saying, "Age is just a number," while praising the two-time Oscar winner for barely aging at 67.

"Only sixty-seven — I can't believe you just said he is only sixty-seven," the matriarch retorted, causing the entrepreneur to laugh and clarify that her intentions were pure.

"I don't mean it that way," the media personality explained. " Like, I mean, clearly too old for me, but he would be like my old man…like my old man past 100%."

"Cause I mean, if you don't look it —" the 25-year-old trailed off, shrugging her shoulders as though to imply it was not a big deal dating someone 42 years her senior as long as he looked like Costner.

Costner & Wife Christine Baumgartner Part Ways After 18 Years

Savannah's surprise comes after the news surfaced that Costner and his wife of 18 years, Christine, were going their separate ways.

TMZ broke the devastating news that the 49-year-old filed for divorce. The specific reason behind the separation has yet to be revealed. However, Christine followed the usual celebrity trend of citing "irreconcilable differences" in her legal documents. A rep for the actor also confirmed the split to the news outlet, saying:

"It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired, which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action. We ask that his, Christine's, and their children's privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time."

The former couple reportedly asked for joint custody of their three children, while Christine did not seek spousal support. The duo signed a prenup before their marriage, as shared by Laura Wasser, Costner's attorney. The now-estranged couple first met in the 80s while Costner rehearsed for his role in "Tin Cup."

When their first meeting on the golf course occurred, the 68-year-old was married to his first wife, Cindy Silva. Five years after his divorce, the pair began dating shortly after crossing paths again at a restaurant in 1999.

After a four-year romance, the pair ended their relationship in 2003 over their differences about starting a family. Costner confessed that "fear" stopped him from proposing to Baumgartner, who wished to have her kids.
