Todd Chrisley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Todd Chrisley has owned the news cycle in a way few reality stars ever do. Just months after President Donald Trump granted him and wife Julie a headline-making full pardon from their federal convictions, they’re all over TV and social media, not shying away from the drama. PEOPLE magazine confirms the Chrisleys are currently living with daughter Savannah in Nashville. Though the couple teased a move to South Carolina, Todd has told both PEOPLE and ABC News that they’re sticking close to Nashville for now. Julie claims she finally feels like she can breathe after years of upheaval, loving the urban, walkable lifestyle after her release. The new Lifetime series The Chrisleys Back to Reality premiered September first and tracks their post-prison reentry. This show, built almost like a sequel to their original USA Network hit, is already stirring controversy, viewership, and vigorous social chatter.
The most viral and long-lasting headline exploded after the show’s September 16 season finale when Todd declared on-air that the first thing on his mind after getting out of prison was sex with Julie. The blunt answer—aired live just months after their pardon—triggered wide backlash and debate about whether Todd’s signature candor is authentic, tone-deaf, or a new stunt for ratings. TV Insider and AOL reported the quip became the focal point for critics and fans alike, spotlighting the tensions between reality TV authenticity and accountability for high-profile ex-convicts. Todd doubled down on his approach, joking about Julie’s hair color and making racy cracks that polarized the franchise’s sizable following.
Meanwhile, in the press blitz for the new Lifetime show, Todd has actively shut down rumors that prison left him broke. On Nightline, he was asked head-on about his post-pardon finances and snapped back, Do you know how much is in my bank account? He insisted, with Julie at his side, that money is not an issue and their marriage is solid. Julie also took to Savannah’s Unlocked podcast to debunk any divorce speculation, saying they “settled back in fairly easy.” The only admission was that separate prisons were tough, but emotional connection pulled them through.
Speculation about Todd’s sexuality briefly reemerged in a recent episode where Julie addressed old affair rumors involving Todd and his former business associate—allegations aired during their 2022 trial and revived for cable drama. Julie shot down the gossip, affirming her loyalty and marriage.
In a less expected twist, Todd also began cultivating a post-prison image as a criminal justice reform advocate. Cinemablend reports he made news picking up a recently exonerated former police officer and celebrating his release—a move that could shape how history remembers him: reality punchline or genuine reformer. With new episodes, busy Instagram activity, and volatility never far, Todd Chrisley remains one of reality’s most unpredictable lightning rods.
