Savannah Chrisley has experienced firsthand the repercussions of wrongdoing due to her parents’ involvement in fraudulent activities. As her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, serve their prison sentences, Savannah has taken on the responsibility of caring for her younger brother, Grayson, and niece, Chloe. Adding to her challenges, it turns out that Savannah’s boyfriend, Robert Shiver, also has a controversial history.
When Todd’s double life was exposed, it led to significant consequences for the entire “Chrisley Knows Best” family. Both Todd and Julie were sentenced to prison for bank fraud and tax evasion. Savannah openly shared her feelings of guilt about moving forward with her life while her parents were incarcerated. She expressed this sentiment during an episode of “Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley” in December 2022, revealing her reluctance to make major life decisions like marriage or having children until her parents’ situation was resolved.
Despite these challenges, Savannah has found support and companionship in her new boyfriend, Robert Shiver. Shiver, a former Auburn University football player, has faced his own share of adversity. He was the target of an alleged murder-for-hire plot orchestrated by his estranged wife, Lindsay Shiver, and her boyfriend, Terrance Bethel, in the Bahamas. Lindsay and Bethel were arrested, and Lindsay is currently out on bail awaiting court proceedings.
Despite the shocking incident, Savannah initiated contact with Robert after learning about the attempted murder plot. She appreciates his looks and values his compassionate and communicative nature. Additionally, Robert is in the midst of a challenging divorce and custody battle for his three children.
In the midst of these trials, Savannah is embracing her role as a bonus parent to her younger brother and niece, acknowledging the complexities of this responsibility. She credits her mother, Julie Chrisley, for imparting invaluable parenting skills that have prepared her for this unexpected journey. Savannah expresses gratitude for the love, patience, and understanding she receives from her younger family members, recognizing the rewarding nature of this demanding role.
