Todd Chrisley and wife Julie Chrisley are saying “Roll Tide” at the latest college football game.
“There will always be a purpose that comes from your pain, delay is never denial and in God’s time all things will be revealed,” Todd, 56, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, October 4, while attending that afternoon’s University of Alabama football game.
Todd sported an all-black workout outfit, going incognito with a matching baseball cap and sunglasses, while Julie, 52, and their kids all wore University of Alabama merch in honor of Grayson’s school. (Alabama beat Vanderbilt University 30-14.)
Todd and Julie share daughter Savannah, 28, sons Chase, 29, and Grayson, 19, and daughter Chloe, 12, who is the biological child of Todd’s son Kyle from his first marriage.
Inside the Chrisley Family Dynamic After Todd and Julie Went to Prison
The Chrisley Knows Best couple were released from federal prison in May after 38 months behind bars after securing pardons from President Donald Trump. (Todd and Julie were convicted of fraud. They have maintained their innocence.)
Todd and Julie’s release also sparked a rift between Savannah and Chase, which was chronicled in the family’s Back to Reality docuseries on Lifetime.
“I haven’t been able to go over there very much because of Savannah. Because she and I can’t get along,” Chase claimed in a September episode. “Whenever I go over there, it makes the whole situation uncomfortable.”
According to Chase, his sister had organized visits to see Todd and Julie but often made it a “f***ing nightmare” for him.
“Any chance I get to go over there to see my mom and to see my dad, I’m taking it,” he said. “My dad’s also not skipped a beat. He’s busy.”

Chase even moved out of the family’s house to stay with his maternal grandparents before the siblings eventually mended fences.
“I just need to go and handle a lot of trauma that I think I buried,” Chase said in the September 16 finale, detailing his intentions to check into a treatment facility for addiction. “I just thought I could bury it and bury it, and I can’t.”
Todd subsequently dropped Chase off at the facility, offering him words of wisdom before he departed.
“Hoping today is a new beginning. You have to win this battle,” Todd said. “My life story is not going to be that I went to prison for 28 months, yours is not going to be that you have a [substance abuse] problem. … I’m sad I had to bring my son to rehab. I’m sad I’m getting on a plane and he’s not on it with me. Even though we’ve been through a lot, I believe God did not bring us this far to drop us off.”
After returning home, Chase apologized to Savannah for not “showing up for [her] more.”
“I know that you’re mad at everybody but obviously you know that I was fighting my own demons so I’m sorry for my part in it,” he told his sister. “You know that I wasn’t in the right headspace. I was doing all I could do to take care of myself, and that’s not an excuse, and thank God you were strong enough.”
