Lindsie Chrisley Backs Savannah’s Pregnancy Despite Family Rift

Lindsie Chrisley has offered a public show of support for her sister Savannah Chrisley amid Savannah’s Savannah Chrisley pregnancy with husband Jason Galanis, even as the siblings remain estranged.

On the Nov. 4 episode of her Southern Tea podcast, Lindsie, 37, congratulated Savannah, 29, on expecting a baby with Galanis, whom Savannah initially identified as her fiancé in her pregnancy announcement before later disclosing that they had married quietly earlier this year. Lindsie also expressed dismay at the negative comments that had circulated online since the news broke.

Lindsie described the reaction she had seen over the past week as deeply upsetting, questioning why some people take pleasure in others’ misfortunes. She stressed that Savannah’s pregnancy is not a setback but a joyful milestone, and said it was unfair to turn a moment of happiness that had been long awaited into something painful.

She extended her congratulations to the couple on their engagement or marriage, acknowledging uncertainty about which term applied, and said that things had fallen into place for Savannah in the way they were meant to.

No Reconciliation Yet

The supportive message does not signal an end to the long-running rift between the sisters. In a Nov. 3 episode of her Unlocked podcast, Savannah told her father, Todd Chrisley, that she and Todd had not been able to have a relationship with Lindsie’s 14-year-old son, Jackson, whom Lindsie shares with ex-husband Will Campbell. Savannah said that if such a relationship existed, it would look like a normal grandparent dynamic, and that when contact did occur, it involved gifts and other typical grandparent gestures.

Todd, 57, said he does not discuss Jackson publicly out of respect for him and that he does not owe the world an explanation. He added that any relationship with his grandson had been marked by significant boundaries and barriers.

Savannah's Message to Her Son

Savannah, who is expecting a baby boy, has spoken about her desire for her child to have a bond with her parents. In an Oct. 28 Instagram Story addressed to her unborn son, she wrote that he is not defined by anyone’s past, mistakes or opinions, and that no outside noise would diminish the joy of being his mother. She called him her answered prayer and said she would never apologize for celebrating him.

The Chrisley family has faced a series of public challenges. Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted of fraud and tax crimes in 2022 and sentenced to prison terms, and they were released in May 2025 after President Donald Trump granted them pardons. Savannah obtained custody of her younger brother Grayson and her niece Chloe while her parents were incarcerated.

Lindsie, Todd’s eldest daughter from his first marriage to Teresa Terry, appeared on Chrisley Knows Best for five seasons before leaving the show in 2017. She and her family reunited publicly on podcast crossover episodes in 2022, but the reconciliation was brief. She has since said she has not seen her father in quite some time and confirmed that she is also estranged from her siblings.

In May 2026, Lindsie was arrested on suspicion of DUI, attempting to elude police, improper passing, reckless driving and speeding. She told TMZ that she had been speeding past a car on a two-lane road because the other vehicle nearly hit an animal and she was trying to avoid it.
