Chrisley Knows Best: Savannah Chrisley Reveals Mom Julie Doesn’t Want Her To Marry A Man With Kids

Savannah Chrisley may have found one more thing she needs to worry about before walking down the aisle. The reality star recently revealed that her mom, Julie Chrisley, has a surprising opinion about the kind of man she should marry. Julie reportedly does not want Savannah to choose a partner who already has kids, and her reasoning may not be what fans expect.

Savannah’s comments have sparked curiosity about what happened behind the scenes and why her mother feels so strongly about the idea. As Savannah continues to navigate her love life, Julie appears to have made her expectations very clear. What did Julie previously tell Savannah about marriage? Why did Savannah later understand that warning?

Chrisley Knows Best: Savannah Chrisley Talks About Her Age-Gap Romance

Savannah Chrisley kept her relationship with an older man private for a long time, but she doesn’t seem to regret that choice. During an episode of the iHeartRadio “Whine Down” podcast, the Chrisley Knows Best star revealed that she had been dating her boyfriend for a year. Savannah explained that she wanted to keep the romance away from the public eye, even though she knew she could only hide it for so long.

She said they met through Washington, D.C.’s political world and described him as the “sweetest” and “calmest” person in the world. Savannah revealed that her boyfriend works in finance and always encourages her to follow her heart. She also called him her biggest cheerleader, adding that he knows nothing about television and isn’t intimidated by her success. Savannah said her partner does better than she does and is happy watching her do her thing, rather than expecting her to dim her light.

Chrisley Knows Best: Savannah Chrisley Reveals Julie’s Marriage Advice

Chrisley Knows Best star Savannah Chrisley reveals that her mother, Julie Chrisley, had always told her not to marry a man with children. Savannah says she only understood the advice after dating someone who already had kids. She emphasizes that the difficulty was not the children themselves, but the wider family demands surrounding the relationship.

Savannah Chrisley says the children in that relationship were “amazing,” “the greatest,” fun, and loving. She identifies other factors as the source of strain, including what she calls “crazy, insane exes.” Savannah also says a partner entering an established family may never come first, second, or third. In her case, she says she was fortunate to come fourth because the man had three children.

According to Savannah Chrisley, the experience differed from a relationship in which two people have a child together. She explains that couples who become parents together can first share a period of private memories, laughter, adventures, and freedom. Savannah says her situation began after the man already had two children, so the relationship never included that same “honeymoon period” or the ability to make spontaneous plans.

Julie Chrisley’s longstanding warning, as recalled by Savannah Chrisley, therefore connects to the practical realities of joining an established family. Savannah’s comments make clear that her concerns involved priorities, co-parenting dynamics, and limited couple time, while maintaining that the children themselves were not the problem
