Savannah Chrisley’s incarcerated parents,ToddandJulie Chrisley, are aware of her new romance withRobert Shiver— but only one of them is eager to meet him in person.
“You know, Dad is very against it just because, ‘He’s not gonna see me in this atmosphere and this environment,’ and I feel like it’s more a male pride type of thing,” theUnlockedpodcast host, 26, toldEntertainment Tonightof her 54-year-old father, who is servinga 10-year prison sentencefor fraud.
“I feel like it’s more a male pride type of thing,” she explained, though her mother is “very much all for it.”

“Cause she’s like, ‘Hey, if y’all are gonna end up together I need to meet him,'" theChrisley Knows Bestalum continued. “And I sent her pictures of us, obviously, and she’s heard all the stories, so she is, like, vicariously living through me. So, he definitely will meet Mom, for sure. Who knows about Dad, but like I said, hopefully, things go in our favor and they’ll be home sooner than later.”
Savannah also shared how she’s always spoken to Todd about “everything” when it comes to “anyone I’ve ever dated,” confessing she misses her ability to catch him up on her love life.
“I long for those conversations,” theSpecial Forces: World’s Toughest Teststar said wistfully. “To have them, to tell him all the amazing things that are happening within my relationship and how awesome Robert is and how he’s responded to certain situations; how he has responded to situations in my life is something I’ve always wanted.”
“We both are very similar, so that’s a thing I feel, like, he’s the male version of me,” she added.
