Savannah Chrisley had big news on her“Unlocked”podcast: she’s pregnant and engaged. But she only referred to her fiancé as“J”or“Jason,”leaving listeners to fill in the blanks. Us Weekly filled them in, confirming the man is Jason Galanis, 56. Savannah is 29, which makes for a 27-year age gap that has social media doing math in real time.
The backstory is what has the timeline buzzing. Galanis was sentenced in 2020 to more than 15 years for fraud schemes that defrauded a Native American tribe and investors out of tens of millions of dollars. In March 2025, President Trump commuted his sentence. Two months later, Trump pardoned Savannah’s parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley. In April, Galanis was photographed with Savannah and her parents at Mar-a-Lago, and he had also testified in the 2024 Republican impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden.
Savannah is focused on the bright side, telling listeners“this person is the love of my life”and that the heartbreak she’s been through“was worth it.”The engagement and pregnancy mark a new chapter for her, even as the scrutiny around her fiancé’s past keeps building. What do you think: does the age gap and legal history change how you see this engagement, or is it her life and her choice?
