Julie Chrisley Reunites with Family After Trump Pardon, Embraces New Chapter

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — After more than two years in prison, Julie Chrisley is back home, embracing the warmth of family life with open arms. The Chrisley Knows Best star, pardoned by President Donald Trump on Wednesday alongside her husband Todd, is focusing on rebuilding those precious family bonds that distance and bars kept apart.

Their attorney, Alex Little, shared with reporters that Julie is adjusting well, though the transition isn’t without its challenges. "She’s doing great, but it’s not like flipping a switch. You’re piecing a family back together after years apart," he said, noting the couple’s daily emails kept their connection alive during incarceration. Julie, he emphasized, is prioritizing time with her children, especially adopted daughter Chloe, who’s clinging to her mom like a lifeline.

Todd, speaking at a Nashville press conference on Friday, praised Julie’s resilience. "She’s a God-fearing woman, an incredible mother, and my partner of over 30 years," he said, beaming with pride. Julie skipped the press event, choosing instead to savor quiet moments at home with Chloe, who’s become a beloved figure on their reality show despite family drama with Todd’s estranged son, Kyle.

The Chrisleys’ release follows a high-profile legal saga. Convicted in 2022 of bank fraud and tax evasion involving over $30 million in fraudulent loans, their sentences—12 years for Todd, seven for Julie—were later reduced before the pardon. Faith, family, and fitness, Todd noted, were his anchors in prison, with daily calls to his kids and emails to Julie keeping him grounded.

Julie’s return to Nashville wasn’t without a splash of her signature charm. Spotted leaving a local butcher shop just a day after her release, she rocked her natural hair color—a departure from her iconic platinum blonde. Her son Chase, with a grin, told reporters, "She’s an angel, but I’m pushing for that blonde comeback. She’s not budging!"

As the Chrisleys step back into the spotlight, their story is one of reunion and renewal, proving that even after the darkest chapters, family remains the heart of their journey.
