Savannah Chrisley Wants to Marry Someone Much, Much Older After Toxic Split from Robert Shiver!

Savannah Chrisley is turning the page on romance, and she’s making it crystal clear: the next man in her life won’t be young, immature, or toxic. After years of whirlwind relationships, headline-making drama,and her latest painful split from Robert Shiver, the Chrisley Knows Best star is reimagining what love should look like—and it involves someone “much, much older.”

The revelation came during the August 19 episode of her Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley podcast, where she sat down with her younger brother Grayson Chrisley for a raw and unfiltered conversationabout relationships, heartbreak, and what they’ve both learned from love gone wrong.

“Dude, you need to learn—don’t s*** where you eat,” Savannah joked as Grayson admitted he was crushing on a girl who happened to live near his ex. But soon, the lighthearted sibling banter shifted into something far more revealing.

“I’ve gotten to the point where my whole life has been chaos and drama,” Savannah confessed. “I just need peace. I’m going to marry someone much, much older than me—and I’m going to have a peaceful life.”

It was a bombshell statement that sent shockwaves through her fanbase. Could Savannah, only 28, really be considering an age-gap relationship as the solution to years of romantic turbulence?

A Heartbreak That Changed Everything

Savannah’s journey to this startling admission begins with her high-profile relationship with former Auburn football player Robert Shiver. On the surface, the pair looked like a perfect match. Savannah, with her polished Southern charm and booming career, seemed to have found stability in Robert—a tall, athletic, confident man who fit seamlessly into her glamorous Nashville lifestyle.

Their romance became Instagram official in late 2023, complete with flirty posts, cozy holiday snapshots, and the kind of chemistry that convinced fans wedding bells might be on the horizon. By early 2024, Robert even made an appearance on her podcast, giving listeners an inside look at their love story.

But behind the curated images and glowing captions, their relationship was unraveling.

By March 2025, the couple had called it quits after nearly two years together. The split wasn’t quiet, nor was it simple. Savannah later revealed on her podcast that Shiver’s ongoing divorce from his estranged wife, Lindsay—who made headlines for allegedly plotting to have him killed—cast a long shadow over their relationship.

“I don’t think I’ll ever forgive her for what she put Robert and his boys through,” Savannah said candidly. “I don’t believe that Robert and I would be where we were at today if she wouldn’t have caused so much mass destruction.”

But the real heartbreak came when Robert, after briefly reconciling with Savannah, reportedly ghosted her—leaving her shocked, humiliated, and ultimately done.

“I don’t think that’s ever happened to me before,” she admitted. “But after 24 hours of silence, I was like, ‘Savannah, no. You deserve better than this.’ And I blocked him on everything. He’s basically dead to me now.”

A Pattern of Toxicity

Savannah’s frustration doesn’t come solely from her relationship with Robert. Fans who’ve followed her journey know she’s no stranger to tumultuous romances, many of which seemed to follow the same destructive cycle.

“I feel like I’ve dated enough athletes, enough guys who are stuck in boyhood,” Savannah admitted on Unlocked. “At this point, give me someone older—someone who’s already lived, already made the mistakes, and actually wants peace.”

Her younger brother Grayson was quick to call her out, joking that Savannah might be addicted to the very chaos she’s trying to avoid. But Savannah pushed back, insisting that with time, even drama loses its appeal.

“You’ll get to a point where your system just can’t take it anymore,” she told Grayson. “You’re like, ‘I just need peace.’”

For Savannah, that peace seems to mean a partner who’s already moved beyond ego battles, late-night parties, and Instagram-fueled validation.

Why Older? Why Now?

So why the sudden preference for someone “much, much older”? For Savannah, it isn’t about money, clout, or even physical attraction. It’s about survival.

“I don’t care about the money,” she said pointedly. “I’ve seen what money does. It comes, it goes. What I want is peace. I want maturity. I want someone who understands that love isn’t about control or power, but about partnership.”

Savannah has also spent the past two years stepping into a caretaker role for her younger brother Grayson and niece Chloe while her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, served prison time for bank fraud and tax evasion before being pardoned in 2025. That responsibility, she says, changed her entire outlook on life and relationships.

“When you’re raising kids, you don’t have time for a grown man who acts like a child,” Savannah explained. “I need someone who adds to my life, not someone I have to babysit.”

It’s a sentiment that resonates with many of her fans, especially women who have found themselves stuck in cycles of immature or emotionally unavailable partners.

Redefining Love in the Public Eye

Being a reality TV star and public figure means Savannah’s love life has always been open to scrutiny. Every post, every public appearance, every rumor fuels speculation. Yet Savannah insists she isn’t chasing attention. She’s chasing something real.

“I’d rather be single and peaceful than coupled and chaotic,” she declared.

Her fans, who have watched her grow from a teenage star on Chrisley Knows Best to a young woman navigating heartbreak, adulthood, and sudden parental responsibilities, are invested in her journey more than ever. And Savannah knows it. She doesn’t shy away from sharing her struggles, whether through raw podcast episodes, social media posts, or interviews.

It’s that vulnerability that keeps her relatable—and makes her bold new relationship strategy all the more fascinating.

What’s Next for Savannah?

For now, Savannah insists she still believes in marriage, children, and lifelong partnership. She’s even admitted she hopes to have kids sooner rather than later. But her approach has shifted dramatically.

“Give me a silver fox with wisdom,” she joked. “I’ll take a few wrinkles and gray hairs if it comes with emotional stability. Honestly, age doesn’t scare me. Immaturity does.”

Whether this declaration is half-serious humor or a true glimpse into her future, one thing is clear: Savannah Chrisley is rewriting her love story. And this time, she’s determined to do it on her own terms.

As she embraces life after heartbreak, fans will be watching closely to see if Savannah’s next romance brings her the peace she craves—or whether the lure of chaos will come knocking once again.

Either way, Savannah’s journey remains must-watch drama, proving once again why she’s one of reality TV’s most captivating stars.
