On November 5, 2023 Savannah Chrisley took a break from defending her parents in order to introduce the world to her boyfriend. The Growing Up Chrisley cast member shared a few affectionate photos of herself and Robert Shiver, the man Savannah admits has been dating for about two months now.
He’s also the same man whose ex-wife was arrested this summer for allegedly hiring a hitman to murder him. Yes, you read that correctly! The former football player was caught up in quite the scandal after surviving the murder plot, something Savannah knew all about before they got together.
Savannah Chirsley’s BF: How They Met
Chrisley first opened up about this relationship during an appearance with Nick Viall on his popular podcast. “This guy that I’m talking to, his wife just tried to kill him,” Savannah told Viall at the time, adding with a laugh, “It’s fine.”
Is it? Apparently so, because, despite her lover’s complicated past relationship, Savannah insisted he’s a total “normie.” Interestingly (for lack of a better word), Chrisley said the two met after she slid into Robert’s Direct Messages after reading about him over the summer.“He’s too hot to die,” Savannah said on the podcast, before adding. “He’s a normal person and I love it.”
But she won’t delve into this case in any way, shape or form. “There’s kids involved,” she explained on Viall’s podcast, referring to the three children Robert shares with his ex. “I just have so much respect for them that I would never say, ‘This is what happened. That’s what happened.’ “That’s for them to talk about when they’re ready to talk about it.”

There was her first, real romance with singer Blaire Hanks in 2017, which was followed by a brief, 4 month romance with NBA star Luke Kennard. She also secretly dated country star Nate Smith, but the romance fizzled under the pressure of her parent’s fraud case.

However, during the Covid pandemic of 2020, the pair called off their nuptials. While attempts were made to rekindle the romance, her ex-fiance tragically died in September 2023.
