It seems age is nothing but a number for Savannah Chrisley, as she defends her very new and interesting relationship!
The reality star is laying it all bare about her age gap relationship, how her parents feel about it, and the benefits she has seemingly enjoyed since coupling up with her new beau.
Savannah Chrisley and her most recent ex-boyfriend, Robert Shiver, ended their relationship last August as she revealed that they broke up for good after he ghosted her following a brief reunion.
Savannah Chrisley Credits Age Gap Relationship For Newly Found Stability And Confidence
During her latest appearance on the “Whine Down with Jana Kramer” podcast, Savannah spilled that she is in a significant age gap relationship. However, her new beau is much younger than her father, Todd Chrisley.
While she noted that her father is not exactly comfortable with the age difference, he has embraced the relationship and even extended affection to her boyfriend.
The media personality shared that she is very much aware of the growing popularity of age gap relationships these days and the unique advantages they seem to offer.
For her, being with someone “up there” has brought a sense of stability and emotional security, she says she lacked in previous relationships.
As noted by TMZ, she described her current romance as one of the healthiest she has ever experienced, thanks to her boyfriend’s confidence and supportive nature.
Savannah raved about her boyfriend, who has always encouraged her ambitions and spotlighted her accomplishments instead of cowering into silence because of them.
Savannah ruled out any thirst to make herself feel smaller in her relationship, adding that her boyfriend being significantly wealthier than she removed any sense of competition between them, leaving room for individual growth.
Inside The TLC Star’s Whirlwind Romance History
Savannah’s quest to find love has played out both in the public eye and behind closed doors, with one of her earliest known relationships being with country singer Blaire Hanks, whom she dated for roughly two years from 2015 to 2017.
As stated by US Magazine, the reality star reportedly found love in the arms of NBA player Chandler Parsons in 2017, but she never confirmed this relationship.
However, the star had a stint with Luke Kennard and was then linked to former Bachelor star Colton Underwood, although this never evolved into a full-blown relationship.
Savannah’s biggest and most public relationship was with former hockey player Nick Kerdiles, and they got engaged in 2018. Unfortunately, the pair called off their relationship in 2020, thus ending their engagement.
Afterward, she was briefly linked to Matt Stell, but they never became a couple, and by 2023, she went public with Shiver, dating for two years until their very emotional split in 2025.
Savannah Chrisley Tried Twice With Ex, Robert Shiver
Months after ending her public relationship with former football player, Savannah shared that they discreetly gave their love story another go, but things turned out very far from how they planned.
Speaking on her podcast, the media personality recalled being overwhelmed with an urge to reconnect with Shiver right after his parents got released from federal prison.
The Blast noted that they reunited again for a bit, and they even went on a trip together, she added, which was one of their happiest times. Savannah said that they made it a point to keep the reconciliation private due to their previous public breakup, but shortly after, things unexpectedly fell apart.
Savannah revealed that Shiver eventually stopped communicating altogether, leaving her feeling blindsided. She blocked him on social media and her phone because he did not reach out to her in 24 hours.
Although she says she has completely moved on, Savannah admitted the breakup was painful because she had allowed herself to believe they were getting a second chance.
She also shared that it was more difficult to split because she had been spending time with her family after her parents had been released.
Looking back, Savannah said she realized she had invested a lot emotionally and personally into the relationship and ultimately came to the conclusion that she deserves someone who fully values and appreciates her.
The Podcaster And Her Ex Discussed Kids Before Their First Split
Beyond personal differences, Savannah revealed that Shiver’s messy divorce with his ex-wife, Lindsay Shiver, caused significant tension in their relationship.
According to her, Shiver’s estranged wife tried to play the cards in their relationship to the point where she attempted to limit her kids’ presence around Savannah.
The surrounding challenges and public attention finally became too much for the lovebirds, and they made the decision to go their separate ways. Prior to this, Savannah recalled that they had even begun planning their lives together and discussing how to expand their family by making fertility consultations.
Shiver eventually reached a point where he needed to clear his plate to address the unresolved issues in his personal life properly. He also reportedly felt guilty that Savannah had become a part of that mess in his personal life, and he admitted he was unsure if he wanted to settle down soon.
Savannah admitted that while she is convinced all they shared was real, the breakup still left her struggling to process how something with long-term potential could fade away.
Savannah Chrisley Opened Up About A Five-Figure Fertility Procedure
Savannah got candid about the emotional and financial toll of preparing for motherhood while dealing with fertility issues. The reality star continued in April on her podcast that she recently had some of her eggs retrieved and frozen to secure her chances at having babies.
Savannah braved the storms of endometriosis to take such a bold step, which set her back a couple of tens of thousands of dollars.
According to Savannah, the procedure and related expenses have totaled between $30,000 and $35,000, a figure that does not include insurance assistance because fertility treatments are typically not covered under her plan.
She also shared that the prescription part of the process costs thousands of dollars, as the prescription costs vary from about $3,000 to $8,000.
Even though Savannah feels she is lucky to have the opportunity to pursue treatment with fertility specialists, she wonders why insurance companies are not more expensive when it comes to fertility care.
She also acknowledged a close friend who helped walk through the process with her, assisting with medications and injections, saying it was both physically and emotionally challenging.
Wishing Savannah Chrisley all the good feels in her new romance!
