Savannah Chrisley is done hiding her man. After weeks of keeping her fiancé’s identity under wraps, the 29-year-old pregnant reality star posted the first photo of Jason Galanis’s face on her Instagram Story Tuesday night, captioned simply“My forever adventure partner.”The reveal came hours after she confirmed her engagement and pregnancy, and once fans connected Galanis to the announcement, the backlash started almost immediately.
So who is he? Galanis, 56, is a convicted fraudster who once served time at the Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Florida, the same facility as Savannah’s father, Todd Chrisley. Both men were pardoned by President Donald Trump last year. The couple got engaged in December during a Cayman Islands vacation, are expecting their first child in January, and plan to marry in May. Savannah has defended the 27-year age gap by saying Galanis doesn’t look or act his age, and she’s called him her“safe place”and her“protector”amid the criticism.
The story is stirring up plenty of debate about age gaps, second chances, and how much someone’s past should factor into their future. Savannah’s message to the critics has been clear: she’s not asking for approval. So where do you land on this one, is it true love or a red flag convention? Drop your take in the comments.
