NEED TO KNOW
Family is forever.
The Chrisleys came together over the weekend for a trip to the University of Alabama, where Grayson Chrisley is currently attending college. Chase Chrisley shared a photo of the moment on Instagram on Sunday, Oct. 5, which showed the group smiling in their game-day gear.
“My people,” he captioned the sweet image, which showed him with siblings Chloe, Grayson and Savannah and their parents, Todd and Julie.
The family patriarch also posted the group shot on his Instagram that same day with the caption: “There will always be a purpose that comes from your pain, delay is never denial and in Gods time all things will be revealed.”
The comments of both posts were filled with well-wishes and encouragement from fans.
“So happy to see you all together!!! ❤️❤️❤️,” someone wrote.
Another said, “Love this ❤️ so happy you are getting to enjoy these moments again,” said another.
“I’m so proud of you brother,” read a message to Chase, 29. “The growth I’ve witnessed in you and your spirit is absolutely incredible. Stronger together ❤️ love you kid.”
“This picture is unforgettable❤️❤️. So cute nice to see Savannah and Chase side by side. 😍😍👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌,” one fan gushed.
Last month, during an episode of The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, Chase blamed his feud with Savannah, 28, for why he hadn’t seen his parents much following their release from prison in May. They had been behind bars for more than two years for their convictions on 12 counts of bank and wire fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy before being pardoned by President Donald Trump.
“Whenever I go over there, it makes the whole situation uncomfortable,” Chase said in the show. “I’m not gonna make Grayson or my mom and my dad feel uncomfortable, just because me and Savannah can’t get along.”

In a confessional, Chase admitted that he still sees his parents “more than when they were locked up,” but called the situation “a nightmare.” The Gold Drop founder also said that he wasn’t sure his relationship with Savannah was “repairable.”
“We don’t speak … We’re not speaking,” he explained.
The pair later made amends after Chase checked into a rehab facility for his struggles with alcohol in the season 1 finale. The decision to seek treatment came after Chase announced his sobriety earlier this year, following an arrest for alleged simple battery.
When he got out, he and Savannah had a heart-to-heart over a Zoom call, where they addressed the tension. Chase began by apologizing to the Unlocked podcaster, saying he “definitely could have showed up for you more.”
While Savannah said a “blanket I’m sorry” was “tough” for her to accept, she hoped they could “talk about it so we don’t get to the same place that we’ve been at.”
“I’m beyond proud of you,” Chase shared. “I’m beyond thankful for the steps that you took and the responsibility that you carried because, like, I was a mess.”

Savannah then teared up and told her brother, “I know that and I appreciate that. … I’m not truly happy with how I handled my stress and how it came across. … It’s always been said, ‘You’re the strong one, you can deal with it.’ I never wanted to deal with it by myself.”
“What I can do is show up for you now and in the future, because I can’t go back and change anything,” Chase noted. “But, I’m sorry, Savannah. And, I love you.”
“I love you, and I’m here if you need me,” Savannah replied as Chase said, “You know I am, too. So, hopefully, this is the beginning of a new chapter.”
“I’m proud of you for taking the steps that you’ve taken. You’ve always had so much potential, if you just let yourself fall into and work for it, and I’m proud of you,” Savannah concluded.
