A Look Back at Savannah Chrisley and Robert Shiver’s Relationship
Savannah Chrisley, known for her role on Chrisley Knows Best, began dating Robert Shiver on August 17, 2023. PEOPLE broke the news of their relationship a few weeks later. Despite the challenges they both faced—Chrisley raising her younger siblings and Shiver dealing with a complicated divorce—the couple found strength in each other.
Chrisley had previously shared with PEOPLE how grateful she was to have Shiver by her side. “This has just shown me that you can find beauty in the ashes,” she had said. The couple had even discussed the possibility of marriage, though Chrisley admitted there were still issues on Shiver’s end that needed resolution.
The Breakup Announcement on Savannah’s Podcast
The breakup became public on the April 14 episode of Savannah Chrisley’s podcast Unlocked. She shared that the split happened on March 6, 2025. Speaking candidly, Chrisley said, “I’ve taken a lot of time to process things and grieve the loss of the relationship I thought would last forever.”
She added that it had been a difficult time emotionally. “It sucks, it hurts,” she said, describing the pain of parting ways after building a bond that she thought was for life.
Why Savannah Chrisley and Robert Shiver Split
While the exact reasons for their breakup remain private, Chrisley hinted at deeper personal and emotional hurdles. The pair had to navigate their individual challenges—Shiver’s estranged wife, Lindsay, is facing trial for allegedly plotting his murder, while Chrisley has been raising her siblings Grayson, 18, and Chloe, 12, in the absence of their parents, Todd and Julie, who are both in prison.
Despite their strong connection and conversations about marriage, these external pressures may have taken a toll on their relationship.

During their time together, Savannah praised Shiver for being a positive influence not only in her life but also in the lives of her siblings. She once expressed, “You don’t need extravagant things to prove your love when you’re with the right person.”
Even though the couple had talked about getting married, Chrisley had made it clear that she wasn’t rushing. “Society loves to put a timeline on things, but we’re just focused on doing life together,” she had said in an earlier interview.
