Savannah Chrisley Reveals Fiancé's Identity Amid Age Gap Controversy

Savannah Chrisley ended the speculation surrounding her new relationship by publicly revealing her fiancé, Jason Galanis, on social media. The 29-year-old posted a selfie with the 56-year-old on her Instagram Story on Tuesday night, marking the first time she displayed his face to her followers. The image came after she confirmed her pregnancy and engagement earlier that same day, a move that ignited a wave of online criticism regarding the couple’s age disparity.

The couple’s romantic timeline is tight. Galanis proposed in December 2025 during a vacation in the Cayman Islands. The pair have been dating since 2025 and are scheduled to marry in May of next year. They expect to welcome their first child in January. Chrisley captioned the new photo with the phrase, "My forever adventure partner," accompanied by a heart emoji.

Galanis is a convicted fraudster who served time alongside Chrisley’s father, Todd Chrisley, at Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Florida. Galanis was found guilty of defrauding a Native American tribe and investors of tens of millions of dollars. A court sentenced him to more than 14 years in prison. He was also ordered to forfeit approximately $80 million in proceeds and pay an equal amount in restitution to victims.

Todd Chrisley, 57, was serving a sentence for conspiring to defraud banks and evade federal taxes. Both men have since been released. Savannah Chrisley has not detailed exactly how she met Galanis, though she told listeners on the "Unlocked" podcast that they connected "in the world of politics." She noted they have a "huge" age gap but defended the relationship by saying he "does not look his age, nor does he act his age." She described his body as "great" and his mind as "sharp."

Chrisley, who has become an advocate for criminal justice reform following her parents' releases, previously kept Galanis’s identity private. When she announced the engagement on Tuesday morning, she shared his first name but kept his face hidden from the camera. She wrote on Instagram that he has been her "safe place" and "protector" during her pregnancy. The public reveal on Tuesday night serves as her response to the initial backlash.
