Savannah Chrisley stands by huge age gap with fiancé after announcing pregnancy

Pregnant Savannah Chrisley is defending her "huge" age-gap relationship with fiancé and "best friend" Jason, who has been identified in reports as Jason Galanis, 56, according to People magazine.

The outlet reported that Galanis, who is 27 years older than Chrisley, was an associate of Hunter Biden, noting that he worked with him and business associate Devon Archer.

In September 2020, Galanis was sentenced to 189 months in prison for multiple securities fraud schemes, before his sentence in March 2025, People reported.

While in prison, Galanis also testified during President Bidens impeachment inquiry in 2024, per the outlet.

During Tuesday's episode of her "Unlocked" podcast," the 29-year-old reality TV star — who also announced her engagement and pregnancy with a video post on Instagram — opened up about the age difference between her and the father of her first baby and explained why she doesn't care what other people's opinions are towards their relationship.

"Yes, there is a huge age gap there, OK?" Chrisley, 29, said of Jason during the podcast. "And thats probably part of the reason why I kept a lot of it quiet, because I know how brutal the public can be. But I genuinely do not care.

"I have always said, I would rather [have] 20 phenomenal, unbelievable years with someone than 50 meh years.' Like, the amount of love and respect that we have, we have so many dreams, and we dream together, we work together … we want to have life experiences with each other. And I think thats when you know you have the right person, when you dont feel like you have to escape them at times.

"We do everything together. … And its just such an amazing, fulfilling feeling to finally find your person. And Im there. So, yes, the age difference. So what?"

Chrisley, who revealed she got engaged in December 2025, shared limited details abougt the day Jason proposed.

"When he gave me the ring, he was like, Before I open this, I just want you to know that this is just an expression of love to you. This can be whatever you want it to be. This can be an engagement ring, a promise ring, a cocktail ring for all I care. I just want you to know how much I love you,'" she recalled. "And there was no pressure ever put on me to, like, You have to accept this as this.'"

While she acknowledged the engagement was "really quick," she stressed that "timing means nothing."

On Tuesday, Chrisley also announced that she and Jason are expecting their first child together in an emotional Instagram post.

"Ive prayed for this life. Ive cried for this life. And there were moments I truly wondered if this life would ever be mine," she wrote alongside a video montage announcing the pregnancy.

"The past few years have taken me through fires I never imagined Id have to walk through. Seasons of heartbreak, loss, and moments when I didnt know if I would ever make it to the other side. I wondered if I would ever find my forever … if I would ever feel safe enough to truly breathe again," she continued.

"And then God sent me J. Right in the middle of the heartbreak. Before all the pieces were put back together. And somehow, he began healing parts of me he never broke.

"My protector. My fiercest fighter. My most loyal person. My lover. My safe place. A man with the patience of Job — and Lord knows he needs it. The
