Savannah Chrisley was honest about her stance on marriage for years before her wedding to her mystery partner, now identified as Jason Galanis.
The topic of marriage was at the forefront of a November 2025 episode of her “Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley” podcast, as Savannah, 28, was joined by her dad, Todd Chrisley, who only wanted to know one thing: when will she walk down the aisle?
“Do you have a desire to get married at some point?” Todd, 56, asked his daughter.
She answered, “I mean, yeah, eventually.” Todd didn’t seem exactly pleased with that answer and joked back, “Do you think it will be before I draw social security?”

Savannah Is Scared of Getting Married
In a June 2023 episode of her “Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley” podcast, Savannah admitted she was scared of the idea of getting married.
“It’s so hard, because in the South, too, you experience this [viewpoint] like, ‘You should be married. You should have kids,’” Savannah explained. “[But] I say the thought of marriage scares me more than kids.”
She continued, “I don’t know if it’s maybe – and this is gonna sound so bad – but I think maybe because kids, you’re in control of, you know? So if I were to have a kid, it’s my responsibility to take care of them and make sure they get from point A to point B.”
“But with marriage, it’s kind of like you’re giving over a part of yourself to someone,” she also said. “So they have the ability to hurt you.”
She Didn’t Want to Get Married While Her Parents Were in Prison
The fact that both of her parents were in prison at the time also weighed on Savannah’s thoughts about marriage. In the same podcast, she explained, “In my mind, I can’t move on with my life. Until I know that they’re going to be there, I can’t get married. I can’t have a kid. … [But I know] they’re going to eventually one day get to be a part of it.”
She Considered Marrying Ex Robert Shiver
Savannah and ex Robert Shiver ended their relationship for good in March 2025, but not until the pair had contemplated getting married. “We’ve definitely talked about it. We both know, ‘Hey, this is what we want out of life.’ But he’s got some stuff to work through on his side of things before that can ever happen,” she told People in March 2025 of the possibility.
Savannah Thought She Wanted a Big Wedding
“I’ve always said, I want this huge wedding,” Savannah told People in the same March interview. “I want all these things. When in reality, I feel like, when you’re in the right situation, you’re in the right relationship, you don’t need all these crazy, outward, extravagant things to prove your love for someone.”
She Reflected on the Meaning of Happiness After Calling Off an Engagement
Back in 2020, Savannah shared a lengthy post about the meaning of happiness after she and former fiancé Nic Kerdiles split. The pair got engaged in 2018.
Per The Sun, the quote read, “You’re going to realize it one day – that happiness was never about your job or your degree or being in a relationship. Happiness was never about following in the footsteps of all of those who came before you; it was never about being like the others.”
The post continued: “One day, you’re going to see it – that happiness was always about the discovery, the hope, the listening to your heart and following it wherever it chose to go.”

“Happiness was always about being kinder to yourself; it was always about embracing the person you were becoming,” the quote continued. “One day, you will understand that happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself, that your happiness was never in the hands of others. It was always about you. It was always about you.”
‘I’ve Prayed for This’
Savannah announced her engagement and pregnancy via Instagram in October 2026.
“I’ve prayed for this life. I’ve cried for this life. And there were moments I truly wondered if this life would ever be mine. 🥹🤍,” she wrote. “The past few years have taken me through fires I never imagined I’d have to walk through. Seasons of heartbreak, loss, and moments when I didn’t know if I would ever make it to the other side. I wondered if I would ever find my forever… if I would ever feel safe enough to truly breathe again. And then God sent me J. 🤍.”
She added, “For the first time in a long time, I feel safe. I feel fulfilled. I can finally exhale. I found my forever in you. 💍.”
