Savannah Chrisley Confirms Breakup With Robert Shiver

The reality star opens up about her emotional journey following the split.

Reality TV star Savannah Chrisley has confirmed her breakup with Robert Shiver after nearly two years of dating. The news was announced during the April 14 episode of her podcast "Unlocked," where Chrisley candidly addressed the emotional toll of the split.

In the podcast episode, Chrisley revealed that she and Shiver ended their relationship on March 6, 2025. "It's been about a month and a half since Robert and I broke up. So there it is. Robert and I broke up on March 6. Not that I'm keeping track of dates or anything, but I have taken a lot of time to process things and truly grieve the loss of the relationship that I thought was gonna be where I was for the rest of my life," she shared.

Chrisley, 27, admitted that the breakup has been difficult, stating, "I have allowed you guys in on my life, and that comes with all the highs and all the lows. I've been figuring out how to navigate this stage of my life because it sucks, it hurts." The couple, who began dating in the summer of 2023, had previously discussed marriage, with Chrisley mentioning just a month before the breakup that they had "definitely talked about" the possibility of tying the knot.

During a March interview, Chrisley expressed her desire to focus on their relationship rather than societal pressures to get engaged after two years together. "What I love is that we're not even really focused on that. I feel like it's so easy to get caught up. Society loves to put a timeline on things like, 'Oh, you've been together for two years. You need to get engaged, you need to get married,'" she said.

Although the couple had been open about their relationship, Chrisley indicated she wanted to protect their privacy moving forward. She had previously joked about oversharing during a podcast episode, saying, "I obviously went on a podcast and spilled my guts and now I laugh and I’m like, ‘Alright, no more drinking lime before a podcast.’ I’ve learned my lesson there."

Chrisley’s family situation has added complexity to her personal life. Both of her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, are currently serving prison sentences for tax evasion and bank fraud. Savannah has taken on a significant role in raising her younger siblings while her parents are incarcerated. "My mom’s always said, ‘You’re only as happy as your saddest child.’ I truly do believe and feel that," she remarked, emphasizing her commitment to ensuring her siblings are happy and healthy.

Robert Shiver, a former NFL player, also has children from his previous marriage to Lindsay Shiver, who is currently facing serious legal issues, including an alleged murder-for-hire plot against him. Savannah commented on their shared focus on their children, stating, "He and I, we’re both just so focused on our kids and making sure they’re in the healthiest places possible, and that they’re thriving and succeeding."

The couple's relationship had garnered media attention, especially after Chrisley made it Instagram official in November 2023, sharing affectionate photos and captions that reflected their happiness together. However, the dynamics of their relationship changed significantly as personal challenges mounted.

In her podcast, Chrisley expressed hope for the future, saying, "I just believe that when the timing’s right, and when it’s supposed to happen, it’s going to happen." This sentiment reflects her desire for a healthy relationship, free from societal pressures and personal turmoil.

As Chrisley navigates this new chapter in her life, she remains focused on her family and her personal growth. The breakup with Shiver marks another significant moment in her journey, as she continues to balance the complexities of her family life, her career in reality television, and her personal relationships.

Fans and followers of Chrisley will undoubtedly be watching closely as she shares more about her experiences in the upcoming episodes of her podcast. The reality star's candidness about her struggles and triumphs resonates with many, providing a glimpse into the life of someone who has faced both public scrutiny and private challenges.

In the end, Chrisley's ability to openly discuss her feelings and experiences may serve as a source of inspiration for others going through similar situations. As she moves forward, it will be interesting to see how she continues to evolve both personally and professionally.
