Todd Chrisley is getting candid about the moment he had to decide how he’d handle Savannah’s relationship. On the Dumb Blonde podcast, he admitted he initially struggled with her choice of fiancé, who is 20 years older. In his words, it came down to embracing his daughter’s decision or losing his daughter. He chose the first option without hesitation.
The fiancé has been identified as Jason Galanis, and Todd said Jason asked for Savannah’s hand in marriage and has treated her with the utmost respect. Todd also pushed back on critics of the age gap, making it clear that Savannah’s happiness matters more to him than anyone’s opinion. The reveal lands right after Savannah, 29, announced her pregnancy on her own podcast this week, and Todd couldn’t be more excited about the baby. He even nodded to Savannah’s late ex-fiancé Nic Kerdiles, adding a bittersweet note to a happy chapter.
There may be more family news on the way, too. Todd hinted that Savannah could share another update, possibly wedding-related, as soon as next week. Does Todd’s approach change how you’d handle a situation like this with your own kids?
