Savannah Chrisley and businessman Jason Galanis are already married, even though the reality star only recently opened up about their engagement and pregnancy. The 29-year-old Chrisley Knows Best star and Galanis, 56, quietly tied the knot in the Cayman Islands on July 14, 2026, according to marriage records obtained by People. Their relationship has drawn attention not only because of their 27-year age gap but also because of Galanis’s past financial fraud convictions.
The news comes just days after Savannah revealed her pregnancy on the October 27 episode of her Unlocked podcast. But who is Jason Galanis, how did he meet Savannah, and what do we know about his criminal history? Here’s a closer look at their relationship, private wedding, pregnancy, and plans for another celebration in May 2027.
Who Is Jason Galanis? Savannah Chrisley’s Husband and Baby’s Father
Jason Galanis, 56, is a businessman and the husband of reality TV star Savannah Chrisley, 29. Savannah discussed their engagement and announced her pregnancy on the October 27, 2026, episode of her Unlocked podcast. Two days later, reports revealed that the couple had already married privately in the Cayman Islands on July 14, 2026. Their relationship has also attracted attention because of their 27-year age gap and Galanis's past financial fraud convictions.
Savannah and Jason reportedly connected in June 2025 after he texted her to congratulate her on her efforts to help her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, secure their release from prison. Their conversations later turned romantic, and they began dating in July 2025. Jason proposed during a trip to the Cayman Islands in December 2025. The couple quietly married there on July 14, 2026, but are still planning a larger wedding celebration. Originally scheduled for January 2027, the celebration was moved to May 2027 after Savannah learned she was pregnant.
Their relationship has drawn mixed reactions, particularly because of their age difference and Jason's legal history. Savannah has defended their relationship, while her father, Todd Chrisley, has acknowledged that he initially had reservations before coming to accept the couple.
The news has also brought attention to Jason’s criminal past. He served a federal prison sentence for financial fraud, and President Donald Trump commuted the remainder of his sentence in March 2025. Jason also reportedly spent time at the same Florida prison camp as Todd Chrisley. Galanis also had business ties to Hunter Biden and Devon Archer and later testified before the House Oversight Committee in March 2024. Despite the criticism, Savannah has defended her unborn baby, saying the child should not be judged by other people’s opinions or anyone’s past.

Jason Galanis’s Criminal Past and 2025 Sentence Commutation
Jason Galanis was sentenced to 189 months in federal prison on September 24, 2020, for his involvement in multiple securities fraud schemes. The cases included manipulating shares of Gerova Financial Group and diverting money connected to bonds issued by a Native American tribal entity. He was originally ordered to forfeit approximately $80.87 million and pay about $80.82 million in restitution. On March 28, 2025, President Donald Trump commuted his sentence to time served, with the clemency order specifying no further fines, restitution, probation, or other conditions.
His business dealings also involved Hunter Biden's former business associate Devon Archer. Galanis later testified during the House impeachment inquiry into then-President Joe Biden in March 2024.

Galanis also has a connection to the Chrisley family. He reportedly spent time at the same federal prison camp in Pensacola, Florida, as Todd Chrisley in 2023. Savannah Chrisley was working to help her parents gain their freedom around this period. Galanis later contacted Savannah in June 2025, and their conversations eventually led to a romantic relationship.
After his release, Galanis was reportedly seen in political circles linked to Donald Trump, including Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Savannah said she and Galanis connected through their shared involvement in politics. His criminal past, political connections, and relationship with Savannah have since brought him renewed public attention.
Savannah Chrisley’s Pregnancy and May 2027 Wedding Plans
Savannah Chrisley's pregnancy came as a surprise after years of concerns about her fertility. On October 27, she shared the news through her Unlocked podcast and an Instagram video featuring ultrasound images, moments with Jason, and glimpses of her growing baby bump.
The video showed Savannah at doctor’s appointments, seeing her baby on the ultrasound, and spending special moments with Jason. She also shared pictures of her growing baby bump and memories from their December 2025 engagement in the Cayman Islands. In one Instagram Story, she pointed out the baby’s thumb-sucking habit and called the child an “answered prayer.”
However, Savannah said she was surprised to discover she was pregnant while traveling by yacht along the coasts of Turkey and Greece in May 2026. She had assumed her symptoms were related to her period and did not expect to conceive naturally.
The pregnancy was especially meaningful to Savannah because she has previously spoken about living with endometriosis and adenomyosis, conditions that can affect reproductive health. She had frozen her eggs and undergone IVF treatment with Jason, and the couple had created two embryos before learning they had conceived naturally.
Although Savannah and Jason married privately in July 2026, they are still planning a larger wedding celebration. Originally scheduled for January 9, 2027, the event was postponed until May after Savannah discovered she was pregnant. The couple has not yet publicly shared all the details of their private ceremony in the Cayman Islands.
