Todd and Julie Chrisley ‘set the record straight’ on divorce rumors

Beg your pardon?

Todd and Julie Chrisley have addressed the claims that they are splitting up after being freed from federal prison.

The reality stars “set the record straight” on the surprising divorce rumors during an episode of their daughter Savannah’s “Unlocked” podcast released Tuesday, July 8.

“No. No. Let me set the record straight,” Julie, 52, began. “We are not getting divorced. I actually think that we settled back in fairly easy.”

The “Chrisley Knows Best” stars were found guilty of federal tax evasion and fraud in June 2022 and sentenced that November.

Their respective sentences began in January 2023, and Julie served 28 months of her seven-year sentence at Kentucky’s FMC Lexington federal prison. Todd served the same amount of time after being sentenced to 12 years at Florida’s FPC Pensacola.

They were both released on May 28 following pardons from President Donald Trump.

“In my mind, I was never away from her,” Todd, 56, said regarding his federal prison stint. “I would tell her in the emails every day, I said, ‘I’m with you every step you take.’ And I’d say, ‘And feel my love surrounding you at all times.’”

“So when I went to bed at night, she was right there with me,” he continued. “When I woke up and I did my prayers, she was right there with me. And that’s how I survived it.”

Julie, who married Todd in 1996, agreed.

“I don’t think there was ever anything in my mind that we were separate or that we were ever going to be separate,” she explained. “And so I think it allowed us to really just come back together.”

After dispelling the divorce rumors, the “Chrisley Knows Best” stars detailed their first night back home together after being released.

Todd said that he was “grateful” to reunite with his wife of almost 30 years, and he even teased their bedtime “routine.”

“The first night together, I was so grateful to just be able to get in the bed with her,” he recalled. “And I think you said it best, there was no awkwardness. There was no, like, what are we supposed to be doing? Was none of that.”

“I mean, we got back in our routine. I mean, she got on top,” Todd joked, although Julie quickly called her husband a “liar” and asked Savannah, 27, to cut that part of the podcast out.

The Chrisley couple previously opened up about their time behind bars during another episode of their daughter’s podcast last week.

Todd revealed that his “sole intent” while in prison was to make the employees miserable.

“I was surrounded by miserable human beings,” he reflected. “Every day, I got up and it was my sole intent to make their life even more miserable because they were there to make our lives miserable.”

He also admitted that he “cried” himself to sleep the first night at the federal facility.

“I was angry at God,” he said during an ABC News special that premiered June 29. “And when I went to bed that night and the lights went out, I cried myself to sleep and I said, ‘God, why are you allowing this?’”

As for Julie, she also opened up about her life behind bars and what she missed the most while serving out her sentence.

“My children and my husband, you know, I missed birthdays and holidays and graduations and things that I can never get back,” she said during “The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup” special.

“So now I just have to focus on what’s ahead of us,” Julie concluded.
