Savannah Chrisley Shows off Dad Todd’s ‘Jacked’ Post-prison Transformation

Savannah Chrisley shared a video on May 28, 2025, showing her father, Todd Chrisley’s first moments outside of prison, revealing a surprising transformation. The 56-year-old appeared noticeably more muscular as he rode home with Savannah following his release, which came just one day after he and his wife, Julie Chrisley, received a full presidential pardon from the president.

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 his wife, Julie Chrisley, 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, Savannah posted a separate video on Instagram, visibly emotional as she announced that her parents had been pardoned. She said Donald 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.” She 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 Donald 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, “Unlocked with Savannah.” She also maintains brand collaborations and handles inquiries through her dedicated PR team.

While most of Savannah’s updates focused on her father, her mother has also gained attention. As previously reported, Julie made her first public appearance following her release from federal prison. She was seen out in Nashville, Tennessee, just one day after receiving her pardon, and netizens had a ton to say.

Known for her role on “Chrisley Knows Best,” Julie had been serving a two-and-a-half-year sentence. Her sudden release and public reemergence have sparked widespread online discussion, as fans and followers react to her altered appearance.

In the photos taken during her outing, Julie appeared in a relaxed, understated look. Her hair was styled in loose waves, revealing a natural silver-brown hue.

She wore a simple, light-toned top and smiled slightly while stepping out of a car, marking a significant contrast from the glamorous image she often portrayed on television.

Julie’s return drew immediate attention on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, where people had a range of reactions to her new look.

One person wrote, “Oh my! I did NOT recognize her, but understandable [sic].” Another mentioned, “Aging backwards! Looking you g and fresh! Cant wait to see her in her bouncy blonde locks next [sic]!!!”

One commenter shared, “Literally refreshing to see her without all the Botox and her natural hair color. I bet Todd doesn’t let a pic slip of him until he’s seen a Dr [sic].”

Another said, “Omg her hair! Girl ik your ready for that appointment [sic].” A third viewer questioned, “What happened to her hair [?]” Another simply noted, “She looks weird.“

One more fan commented, “She looks like a whole different person lord [sic].” One netizen added a positive note, “She’s a brunette!! Wow I’m actually surprised! Her natural color hair looks good on her [sic]!”

While it remains unclear what the next steps are for Julie or whether she plans to return to television, her first appearance has already stirred public curiosity. Her outing comes shortly after the official confirmation of her pardon, a decision that has also received significant media attention.

Julie’s reentry into public life appears to be a quiet one for now, but her return has clearly left an impression, both due to the circumstances of her release and her notably different appearance.
