Savannah Chrisley Reveals Fiancé Jason Galanis After Pregnancy Announcement
On October 27, reality TV personality Savannah Chrisley identified Jason Galanis as her fiancé after announcing that she is pregnant with their first child. Chrisley, 29, said on her podcast that the two met through politics while she was seeking presidential pardons for her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley. Galanis is 56; she said their age difference was one reason she had kept the relationship private.
Chrisley said they began dating in July 2025 and got engaged five months later during a trip to the Cayman Islands. She announced the engagement and pregnancy on Instagram, sharing footage of the couple with a sonogram and describing Galanis as a source of support.
In 2020, Galanis received a prison term exceeding 14 years over his part in two fraud schemes involving investors and tribal bonds. He was also ordered to forfeit about $80 million and pay an equal amount in restitution. President Donald Trump commuted his sentence in March 2025, absolving him of the remaining prison term and financial penalties. The White House did not explain the decision.
Galanis, who once worked with Hunter Biden, gave testimony from prison in March 2024 as part of congressional Republicans’ impeachment probe concerning then-President Joe Biden. Chrisley said Galanis contacted her to congratulate her after her parents received clemency in May 2025. Her parents had been convicted in a tax-fraud case and sentenced in 2022.
Trump Clemency Brings Fraud Convict Into Chrisley Family Spotlight
The news of Savannah Chrisley’s engagement and pregnancy puts a consequential presidential clemency decision back in view. In 2020, a judge imposed a prison term of over 14 years on Jason Galanis for fraud schemes involving investors and tribal bonds; he was also ordered to forfeit about $80 million and pay the same amount in restitution. President Donald Trump commuted his sentence in March 2025, wiping away the remaining prison term and financial penalties. The White House offered no explanation.
Chrisley, 29, said she met Galanis, 56, through politics while campaigning for pardons for her parents. She announced the engagement and pregnancy on October 27, and said the couple began dating in July 2025 before he proposed five months later.
Galanis was an associate of Hunter Biden and gave testimony from prison in March 2024 as part of congressional Republicans’ impeachment probe concerning then-President Joe Biden. That political connection does not answer why Trump granted clemency or why the order also removed the financial consequences of the fraud case.
Chrisley said Galanis congratulated her after her parents received clemency in May 2025. The family story may be personal, but the pardon at its center raises public questions about the use of presidential power and the consequences for people harmed by fraud.
Galanis’s Biden Inquiry Role Adds Politics to Chrisley Engagement
Savannah Chrisley’s engagement brings renewed attention to Jason Galanis, whose political connections reach beyond his commutation by President Donald Trump. Galanis, a former associate of Hunter Biden, gave testimony from prison in March 2024 as part of congressional Republicans’ impeachment probe concerning then-President Joe Biden. Chrisley said she met him through politics as she sought pardons for her parents.
Chrisley, 29, announced on October 27 that she is engaged to Galanis, 56, and expecting their first child. She said their relationship began in July 2025, with a proposal coming five months afterward. She also said she had kept the relationship private in part because of their age gap.
In 2020, Galanis received a prison term exceeding 14 years for his part in two fraud schemes involving investors and tribal bonds. He was ordered to forfeit about $80 million and pay an equal amount in restitution. Trump commuted his sentence in March 2025, absolving him of the remaining prison time and financial penalties; the White House did not give a reason.
The political dimension is difficult to separate from the family news: Chrisley said Galanis congratulated her after her parents received clemency in May 2025. His testimony in an inquiry involving a former president and his association with Hunter Biden are part of the same public record as the fraud conviction and Trump’s decision to commute the sentence.
