Federal prison records obtained by TMZ reveal that Jason Galanis, fiancé of reality TV star Savannah Chrisley, received a glowing July 2017 work evaluation while volunteering as a tutor at New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center. Officials gave him top ratings in work quality, initiative, and teamwork, noting they would promote him outside prison. Galanis was later sentenced in 2020 to 189 months for multiple securities fraud schemes and served time in Pensacola alongside Todd Chrisley before both received pardons from President Trump in March 2025.
Savannah, 29, shared on her“Unlocked”podcast that she met Galanis, 56, through politics. The couple got engaged in December 2025 after five months of dating, and she is now expecting a baby. In a message to her unborn child, she wrote,“You are not a controversy.”The 27-year age gap and the speed of the relationship have already sparked plenty of online debate.
The sharpest reaction came from Galanis’own brother, Derek, who told Page Six that Savannah is his brother’s“biggest con yet.”With a spotless prison review on one side and a skeptical sibling on the other, the story has become one of the most talked-about celebrity relationships of the year. Do you think family should weigh in on a relationship like this, or is it nobody’s business but theirs?
