Savannah Chrisley knows best when it comes to her relationships.
As the Growing Up Chrisley alum announced she is pregnant with her first baby with her fiancé, whom she revealed is named Jason, she admitted they have a significant age gap.
"There is a huge age gap there," Savannah confirmed on the Oct. 27 episode of her Unlocked podcast. "That's probably part of the reason why I kept a lot of it quiet, because I know how brutal the public can be. But I genuinely do not care."
"I have always said, 'I would rather 20 phenomenal, unbelievable years with someone than 50 just meh years,'" she continued. "The amount of love and respect that we have—we have so many dreams, and we dream together, we work together."
The 29-year-old daughter of Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley—who split from Robert Shiver in 2025 after two years of dating—emphasized that age is just a number in their relationship.

"It's just such an amazing, fulfilling feeling to finally find your person," she reflected. "The age difference—so what? I don't care. He does not look his age, nor does he act his age. His body is great. His mind is even sharper."

"This person is the love of my life," she said. "It made all the heartbreak that I've gone through worth it. And all the heartbreak taught me something. It taught me what I want, what I don't want, what I should accept, what I shouldn't accept."
The Chrisley Knows Best star, who kept her partner's identity under wraps for the last year, also shared how peaceful her life has been with Jason by her side.
"Things have been really, really quiet," she explained. "I've really enjoyed it being that way. I feel like he and I have truly gotten to be just us and create our safe space and get to a really good place with each other."
"Our relationship as a whole has been absolutely amazing," she shared. "It has been the dream relationship that any woman could ever hope to be in. There hasn't been drama, and chaos and dysfunction. There has been absolutely none of that."

Instead, Savannah found a partner she could lean on through the highs and lows of this chapter.
"It feels so good to be able to be soft," she noted. "It feels so good to finally meet your partner to where you don't have to be that way anymore. You don't always have to be on guard. You don't always have to be the one fixing everything."
"When you find someone who's willing to do just as much as you will do in a relationship, it is the best feeling in the entire world," Savannah beamed. "We want to have life experiences with each other. That's when you know you have the right person, when you don't feel like you have to escape them at times. He is my best friend. We do everything together."
As Savannah focuses on growing her family with Jason, keep reading for a closer look at the Chrisley family tree.
