Savannah Chrisley’s fiancé named as convicted fraudster Jason Galanis, freed by Trump after Hunter Biden ties
Pregnant reality star Savannah Chrisley’s mystery fiancé is Jason Galanis, a convicted fraudster whose prison sentence President Trump commuted, and who once testified about Hunter Biden.
Page Six reported that the 29-year-old “Chrisley Knows Best” star is expecting her first child with Galanis, 56, after nearly two years of dating. She had tried to keep him out of the spotlight. The identity confirmation landed the same day she posted her pregnancy news.
Galanis is 27 years older than Chrisley. On her “Unlocked” podcast she waved off the age-gap criticism and said she does not care how brutal it gets.
She told listeners she would rather take quality over a long stretch of “just fine.”
"I have always said, 'I would rather [have] 20 phenomenal, unbelievable years with someone than 50 just [fine] years,'"
In her Instagram pregnancy post she showed a growing baby bump and framed the moment as answered prayer, still without naming the father of her child.
"I’ve prayed for this life. I’ve cried for this life. And there were moments I truly wondered if this life would ever be mine. 🥹🤍,"
She has called him her protector, fiercest fighter, and most loyal person. How the two met remains unclear.
Galanis drew a long sentence for multimillion-dollar fraud
In September 2020 a court sentenced Galanis to more than 14 years in prison for his role in two schemes. One defrauded a Native American tribe and investors out of tens of millions of dollars. He was ordered to forfeit about $80 million in proceeds and pay the same amount in restitution. He had once been dubbed “Porn’s New King.”
That record is the backdrop to the engagement news. Celebrity romance coverage often skips the paperwork. This one cannot.
Trump cut the remaining prison time and the money judgment
In March 2025 President Donald Trump commuted Galanis’s prison sentence. The order wiped out the remaining time behind bars and the financial penalties tied to the case. The White House did not explain the rationale.
Months earlier, in March 2024, Galanis testified in the impeachment inquiry into former President Joe Biden while still incarcerated. Reporting has described him as an associate of Hunter Biden. Readers who track Biden-family legal fights often follow the same Washington lanes as other Trump-era stories, including coverage of Ed Martin’s move into election-integrity work.
Trump’s clemency decision put Galanis back in public life. Savannah’s pregnancy announcement then put him back in the headlines.
Her parents walked out after their own federal convictions
Todd Chrisley, 57, and Julie Chrisley, 53, were convicted in June 2022 of conspiring to defraud banks and evade federal taxes. In November 2022 Todd received 12 years in federal prison. Julie received seven years. Both faced supervised release after prison.
In May 2025 Trump pardoned the couple and erased the supervised-release requirement. Savannah had thrown herself into Trump’s 2024 campaign largely to free her parents. That fight also pushed her into criminal justice reform advocacy and opened doors in Republican circles. The same audience that follows those clemency fights often scrolls past lighter White House moments too, from policy fights to Rubio’s reaction to a viral Oval Office photo.
A daughter who spent years pressing for mercy for her parents is now publicly tied to another man who received presidential clemency. The dates line up in plain view: Galanis’s commutation in March 2025, the Chrisley pardons in May 2025, and the pregnancy reveal that forced his name into the open.
Engagement news meets a long paper trail
Us Weekly and other outlets confirmed the fiancé’s identity after Chrisley went public with the pregnancy. She is 29. He is 56. He left prison under a Trump commutation that also cleared an $80 million forfeiture and restitution order. He had testified about the Biden family while still serving time. Her parents’ bank-and-tax convictions ended in a full pardon.
None of that is rumor. It is the court record, the clemency timeline, and her own posts.
Hollywood can sell a love story. Voters still get to read the docket.
