Todd Chrisley's First Post After Prison Release

The proud father chose a deeply personal moment to mark his return to social media.

On June 12, 2025, Todd Chrisley shared his first Instagram post since being released from prison after being pardoned by President Donald Trump. The 56-year-old highlighted a major academic achievement of his youngest son, Grayson Chrisley.

The image he uploaded showed part of a digital article, with the headline reading, "Grayson Chrisley of Nashville named to University of Alabama Spring 2025 Dean’s List."

The article went on to explain that more than 14,000 young students, who were enrolled in the last semester, were given this recognition.

Along with the screenshot of the article, Todd added a caption that read: "God is good all the time, @graysonchrisley, I love you to the moon and back and we couldn’t be more proud … You are proof of God’s word. Stand tall, Stand true and stand for your fellow brothers in Christ. I love you Gray Gray. [sic]"

This touching tribute highlighted not only Todd's pride in his youngest son but also his deep connection to his family.

The TV personality shares two children, Lindsie and Kyle Chrisley, with his first wife, Teresa Terry, and Savannah, Grayson, and Chase Chrisley with his second wife, Julie Chrisley.

While this might be Todd's first post on his personal account post-prison, he has not been in hiding. Just two days earlier, on June 10, he made an appearance on Savannah’s show, "Unlocked with Savannah."

In the episode teaser shared on Instagram, Savannah joked, "Welp… Todd crashed the podcast. 🫣😂" The video then featured her father speaking about presidential pardons and offering sharp opinions about current political figures.

When the conversation turned too partisan, Savannah jumped in to end the show, saying she still needed "some of you Dems to watch this too. So, until next time."

The segment ended with Todd saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, that’s the end of ‘Unlocked’ because I’ve been unlocked," followed by applause and laughter. Savannah even said, "That's amazing. That's hilarious."

The clip showed their close relationship, which isn't a surprise considering how the podcast host was the first to show her father once he was out of prison. As previously reported, Savannah shared a video on May 28, 2025, sitting in a car with her father and revealing his surprising transformation.

The 56-year-old appeared noticeably more muscular as he rode home with his daughter following his release, which was one day after he and his wife received a full pardon.

In the clip, she kept the camera focused between her and her father's arms and asked, "What are you trying to get me to do?" Todd, sitting in the back seat and off-camera, replied, "Feel that muscle."

She laughed and touched his arm, responding, "Oh yeah, feel the muscle! I'm not gonna lie, it's hard." She then added a caption to the Instagram Story that read, "@toddchrisley is JACKED."

As the camera briefly panned to the driver's seat, her friend and hairstylist, Tyler Bishop, could be seen at the wheel.

The video marked Todd's first appearance since reporting to prison in January 2023 after being convicted alongside Julie for several charges. The release followed a full pardon issued by Donald Trump, which had been revealed by Savannah a day earlier.

On May 27, she posted a separate video on Instagram, visibly emotional as she announced that her parents had been pardoned. She said the president had called her directly while she was walking into Sam's Club to share the news. "Both my parents are coming home," she said. "I could not be more grateful."

She described her reaction as overwhelmed, saying her family was "freaking out" and she had "shed so many tears." Savannah also mentioned they were gathering clothes and preparing a room at home for her parents' arrival. "It still doesn't feel real," she said. "My parents get to start their lives over!"

On May 29, Savannah continued sharing the momentous week with several follow-up posts. That day, she uploaded a photo of the president holding the official pardon paperwork.

In the caption, she wrote, "God is still writing your story. He's Not Late. He's Not Distant. HE'S NOT DONE, & What is coming is MORE than you could've imagined."

She also posted an Instagram Reel featuring multiple selfies of herself and Todd, set to Jason Aldean's "We Back." The photos showed her father in a gray t-shirt and black shorts, wearing a black cap and oversized sunglasses to conceal his face partially.

The influencer appeared beside him wearing a black sweater and a pink "Make America Great Again" cap, her hair pulled back in a bun. She accessorized with a Louis Vuitton bag and captioned the post, "To the paparazzi following us looking to pay your bills… here's your photo 🤦🏼‍♀️ @toddchrisley."

That same day, Savannah uploaded another video, which seemed to be from an Instagram live session, showing her and Todd attempting to exit a Nordstrom store while evading photographers. Todd placed a shopping bag over his head and said, "You [expletive] aren't paying your bills from me," joking about the attention.

He also made fun of his own appearance, saying he had the "BOP glow," referring to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and announced, "I'm so happy to be home. I'm going to start my skincare routine tomorrow."

As they walked through the store, Savannah explained they were shopping for something for him to wear to an upcoming conference. Todd noted that Julie had chosen to stay home, saying she was "hiding," and added, "She's smarter than I am."

In addition to managing her family's public image, Savannah remains focused on her own ventures. She is the founder of Good Girl Rx, a realtor in Tennessee, and hosts her podcast. She also maintains brand collaborations and handles inquiries through her dedicated PR team.
