I think just for the first time in my life, I actually love two people more than I love myself.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Earlier this year, Savannah shared she was facing the “anger part of grief” after Todd and Julie, who were convicted of bank and tax fraud,\u00a0were sentenced serve seven and 12 years in prison\u00a0respectively. The pair, whose sentences have\u00a0since been reduced, had pleaded not guilty to all charges and have vowed to appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And for her part, Savannah is currently focused on doing “anything” for Grayson and Chloe as their guardian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I try to be a good adult figure in their life,” she said during a May episode of her\u00a0Unlocked<\/em>\u00a0podcast, “but it’s really hard being 25 and having two kids and trying to figure out what’s best for them because normally you get to grow from one to two to three to four, like, you get to grow through the ages. And now, I’m just being like thrown into it. And my life, it really is being put on hold.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, Savannah has also found the silver lining in having to help raise her siblings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Savannah Chrisley, who assumed guardianship of her 17-year-old brother Grayson and 10-year-old niece Chloe after her parents’ conviction, is reflecting on the reality of her “tough” new role.

As Savannah\u2014who appears in season two of Fox’s\u00a0Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test<\/em>\u2014explained, she chose to appear on the series for a familial reason.
\u00a0
“I think a big thing was this was the last show I watched with my parents before they left,” she said in an exclusive clip from the show’s upcoming Oct. 9 episode. “My mom watched it. She was like, \u2018You could do that.'”

But the reality star’s motivation behind signing up for the series doesn’t make her absence from her younger siblings any easier.
\u00a0
“I have custody of my 10-year-old sister and my 17-year-old brother,” Savannah\u2014whose\u00a0niece was adopted by her parents\u00a0in 2017\u2014continued. “It’s tough and I missed the first Father’s Day. I’m not there and that’s what sucks, not having that contact while I’ve been gone.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-384-1024x683.png\")
