Savannah Chrisley, star of "Chrisley Knows Best," recently shared her candid thoughts on marriage and parenthood during an appearance on Lindsay Ell's "Unlocked" podcast. She revealed that the idea of marriage is more daunting to her than having children. Chrisley explained that while raising children feels like a responsibility she can control, marriage involves relinquishing a part of oneself, leaving room for potential hurt.
The 25-year-old also acknowledged the societal pressures, particularly in the South, to marry and have children. She admitted feeling more apprehensive about marriage, despite these expectations. Chrisley emphasized the importance of finding a partner who fosters personal growth, rather than entering relationships with the hope of changing someone. She confessed to previously making this mistake, recognizing that people rarely change in the ways one might hope.
The conversation then shifted to parenthood. Chrisley pondered the question of whether anyone is ever truly ready for children. She suggested that parenting is a continuous learning process that begins even before one feels fully prepared. She expressed admiration for those who choose not to have children, recognizing the significant commitment involved in raising a child. Chrisley appreciated the growing societal acceptance of diverse choices, allowing individuals to prioritize what works best for them without feeling bound by traditional timelines.
Chrisley shared an anecdote about her 78-year-old grandmother's traditional views on marriage and children. She highlighted the generational differences in expectations, asserting her comfort with choosing her own path. Chrisley is currently the guardian of her 17-year-old brother Grayson and 10-year-old niece Chloe, following her parents Todd and Julie Chrisley's sentencing for fraud and tax evasion.
