Todd Chrisley and his spouse Julie Chrisley were seen cheering for their favorite team at a recent college football match.
On Saturday, October 4, Todd, aged 56, shared a meaningful message on Instagram while attending the University of Alabama football game. He wrote, “There will always be a purpose that comes from your pain; delay is never denial, and in God’s time all things will be revealed.”
With an all-black athletic outfit, Todd went for a low profile, complete with a baseball cap and sunglasses, while Julie, 52, and their children donned University of Alabama gear to support Grayson’s school. (Alabama earned a victory over Vanderbilt University with a score of 30-14.)
The couple has four children: daughter Savannah, 28, sons Chase, 29, and Grayson, 19, along with daughter Chloe, 12, who is biologically Kyle’s child from Todd’s first marriage.
In May, the Chrisley Knows Best stars were released from federal incarceration after serving 38 months following pardon grants from President Donald Trump. The couple had been convicted of fraud but always claimed their innocence.
Their release caused a tension-filled situation between Savannah and Chase, which was explored in the family’s Back to Reality docuseries on Lifetime.
Chase indicated in a September episode, “I haven’t been able to visit much because of Savannah. We can’t get along. Whenever I go there, it makes everything uncomfortable.”
He further expressed that although Savannah had organized visits to their parents, the experience often turned into a “f***ing nightmare” for him.
“Any chance I get to see my mom and dad, I’m taking it,” he added. “My dad’s also been incredibly busy.”
Chase even opted to leave the family home and stay with his maternal grandparents before eventually reconciling with his siblings.
“I need to handle a lot of trauma I think I have buried,” Chase confided in the finale aired on September 16, indicating his plans to enter a rehabilitation facility for addiction. “I thought I could suppress it all, but that’s not feasible.”
Todd took Chase to the treatment facility, sharing motivating words as they parted ways.
“Hoping today is a new beginning. You have to win this battle,” Todd encouraged. “My life’s narrative isn’t defined by my 28 months in prison, and yours won’t revolve around your [substance abuse] challenges… It pains me to take my son to rehab. I feel sorrow leaving without him. Despite our trials, I believe that God brought us this far for a reason.”
After returning home, Chase extended an apology to Savannah for not being more present for her.
“I recognize you’re upset with everyone, but just know I was battling my demons too. I regret my role in this,” he shared with his sister. “I wasn’t in the right mindset. I did my best to look after myself, and that’s no excuse; thankfully, you were strong enough.”
