Savannah Chrisley is happy to move out of her parents’ mansion.
While appearing in ABC News Studios’ The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup, Savannah, 27, revealed that she was looking forward to living the “carefree life of a 28-year-old” following Todd and Julie Chrisley‘s release from prison.
Savannah had lived in her mom and dad’s Nashville home for more than two years while they were incarcerated in separate prisons. President Donald Trump pardoned the pair in late May, and called Savannah to deliver the news when she was out running errands.
One month post-pardons, Savannah told ABC that she was “moving into a condo,” despite her family asking her, “Aren’t you gonna miss a house?”
She remarked, “I’m not gonna miss landscapers, I’m not gonna miss pool people,” to which Todd, 56, who also participated in the Sunday, June 29 interview, added, “I have learned that a house is not a priority to her. … Maintenance is not a priority to her.”
“No, I was raising kids,” Savannah said in her defense, referencing how she took care of her younger brother, Grayson Chrisley, 19, as well as Chloe Chrisley, 12, whom Todd and Julie adopted in 2016. (Chloe is the daughter of Kyle Chrisley, Todd’s son from a previous marriage.)
Savannah laughed as she described her dad’s reaction to seeing the home for the first time in years.
“He comes in and is critiquing everything in the house,” she said. “I was literally fighting for y’all for two and a half years and raising kids, I think the floors are fine.”
In June 2022, Todd and Julie, 52, were convicted on federal charges of tax evasion, bank and wire fraud and conspiracy. Todd was sentenced to 12 years behind bars while Julie was given seven years. (Both have maintained their innocence.)
Without her parents by her side, Savannah had a hard time holding down the fort.
“People comment and will say, like, ‘Oh, I feel so sorry for you, living off of mom and daddy’s stolen money,’” she said in a 2024 episode of her “Unlocked” podcast. “And ‘You’re rich, it’s easy, stop trying to act like it’s so hard.’”
She continued, “I struggled. Like, I know what it feels like to not know how you’re going to pay your bills that month. ‘Cause I was left with three mortgages, and the lawyers, and kids.”
While she juggled many responsibilities, Savannah made some time to appear as the Afghan Hound on season 11 of The Masked Singer last year.
“I missed The Masked Singer because I was embarrassed for her,” Todd told ABC News. “I knew she was going to do it, but she cannot sing.”
He added, “I guess the beautiful part of that is she went and did that, and she didn’t care how bad she was.”
