AceShowbiz - Savannah Chrisley, former star of "Growing Up Chrisley", candidly discussed the recent end of her nearly two-year relationship with Robert Shiver on her podcast, "Unlocked". The 27-year-old reality star delved into the numerous factors that contributed to their split, highlighting the immense turmoil caused by Shiver's ex-wife, Lindsay Shiver.
"He and I were full force in it, seeing fertility doctors and talking about the future," Savannah revealed in the April 15 episode titled "I Got Dumped." "He just realized that there was a lot that he needed to work on."
Savannah pointed out the strain caused by Lindsay, who was arrested in 2023 for allegedly hiring a hitman to kill Robert. "I don't believe that Robert and I would be where we were at today if she wouldn't have caused so much mass destruction," she explained. "She absolutely destroyed a great man when it comes to his heart and his life."
The ongoing drama between Robert and Lindsay was a constant source of tension. "There was a time where she tried to get the courts to say I wasn't allowed around the children," Savannah shared, adding that Lindsay's return to the U.S. often brought chaos back into their lives.
Savannah acknowledged that despite the breakup, she still cares deeply for Robert and his three sons. "We were in our routines with not only Robert and I, but also the kids. It was a drama-free zone until she would come back," she said.
"Regardless of my relationship with Robert, I still love them. I love them more than I dislike where Robert and I are at," she said earnestly.
Savannah mentioned getting support from friends like Jason Aldean's wife Brittany Aldean, who advised her to cut ties with Robert but she wasn't ready to completely remove all contact with him.
"Chances are I'll probably do Easter celebrations too [for his kids] against everyone's advice to me. My therapist and my friends. It is just because I love them. It's so hard for me to fathom not showing up for them," she said.
Reflecting on the breakup, Savannah emphasized learning from the relationship and moving forward with strength and forgiveness. "I feel like we all serve our purpose in each other's lives, whether that's for a time, a season, a reason, whatever it may be," she mused. "I came along at a time in Robert's life to where he needed a little bit of hope."
Though heartbroken, Savannah is determined to emerge stronger and wiser. "I handle everything with a little grit and strength," she said. "I'm learning to have more forgiveness for myself."
