Savannah, 27, spoke candidly during a recent episode of her Unlocked podcast, sharing the internal battle she’s been fighting since her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, began serving their federal prison sentences for bank fraud and tax evasion. “I’m in that anger stage of grief right now,” she confessed. “I’m just angry at everything. After taking on the kids, I’ve found myself wondering, Do I even want to have kids someday?”

Her honesty struck a chord with listeners. What began as a temporary custody arrangement has now evolved into a full-time reality that has reshaped every aspect of Savannah’s life. Overnight, she went from being a sister and aunt to becoming a parental figure—navigating school drop-offs, emotional breakdowns, and the heavy burden of keeping her family together in the public eye.

“I love these kids more than life itself,” she emphasized tearfully. “They are my everything. But it’s hard. I’m 27, trying to figure out my life, my career, my identity—and suddenly, I’m a mom to two amazing but grieving kids. It’s a lot to carry.”

The reality star’s parents, Todd (54) and Julie (51), reported to their separate prisons in late 2022 to begin serving their sentences — 12 years for Todd and 7 years for Julie — after being convicted of fraud and tax evasion. They are also required to complete 16 months of probation after their release. With both parents incarcerated, Savannah became the legal guardian of Grayson and Khloe, her half-brother Kyle’s daughter, ensuring they remained under family care.

“I never wanted to replace my mom or dad,” Savannah said. “But someone had to step up. And that someone was me.”
