Chrisleys Reunited After Fraud Pardons: Couple's Emotional Reunion and Challenges
16 Oct
Summary
- Chrisleys served 2.5 years for fraud charges before receiving pardons in 2025
- Struggled to communicate during sentence, with limited access to each other
- Relied on memories, faith, and family support to cope with separation
In October 2025, reality TV personalities Todd and Julie Chrisley opened up about the challenges they faced during their 2.5-year sentence for fraud charges. The couple, who were convicted in 2019, received full pardons from President Donald Trump in May 2025.
During their incarceration, the Chrisleys had limited access to each other, with Julie only able to make 10-minute phone calls per day. Todd, however, had more flexibility and could use a cell phone. The couple, who are used to spending every day together, found it difficult to stay connected and collaborate on raising their children, both adult and minor.
To cope with the separation, Todd relied on his strong memory, recalling details of their first date and other cherished moments. He even found a way to keep Julie's scent close by, using a sample of her perfume found in a magazine. Meanwhile, Julie struggled more with the lack of communication, as she was the primary caregiver for the family.
Despite the hardships, the Chrisleys maintained their faith and found strength in their bond. As Todd expressed, he never felt truly separated from Julie, as he was with her "spiritually and emotionally" throughout the ordeal. The couple's resilience and love for each other shone through, even during the most challenging times.
