Chase also posted on his Instagram Story, sharing a photo of Savannah — decked out in a Hank Williams T-shirt and a winky face trucker hat — smiling in front of a strawberry-topped chocolate cake with ’26’ candles.
“Happy birthday to the Queen,” he captioned the snap.

Kyle Chrisley also shared a throwback family photo on his Instagram Story in honor of his sister’s birthday.
“Happy Birthday @savannahchrisley you’ve grown up to be so strong and independent,” Kyle, 31, captioned the snapshot. “You’re incredibly selfless and have your mother’s servant heart. I’m so proud of you and Papa would be too. Happy Birthday.”

The months ahead of Savannah’s 26th birthday were filled with a lot of big life changes. Her parents Todd and Julie Chrisley reported to prison in January after being sentenced nearly two months prior for fraud.
Due to her parents being imprisoned, Savannah became the legal caretaker of younger brother Grayson, 17, and niece Chloe, 10. (Chloe, who is the daughter of Savannah’s brother Kyle, had been under Todd and Julie’s care amid Kyle’s many personal woes.)

In a recent episode of her podcast, Savannah opened up about the words of wisdom her father gave her about raising Grayson and Chloe.
“He was like, ‘Savannah, what you’re about to do … is going to be the toughest thing you’ve ever done, but it’s going to be the most rewarding,'” the reality star recalled.
“And literally, I was laying in bed with Chloe the other night and she literally hugged me up, put her arm around me, and she goes, ‘I just want to let you know you’re doing a really good job with Mom and Dad gone,’ and I literally was like, ‘That, kids, that’s what it’s all about,'” she added. “It can be so hard, but when they feel the love, and you see a smile on their face, doesn’t matter if you have the crappiest day in the world. It literally changes everything.”

And while the experience has been rewarding, Savannah has since admitted she’s now unsure if she wants to have children of her own. But she clarified her comments, saying, “I don’t want anyone to take what I said out of context at all. I frickin’ love these two kids more than life itself. They are my everything. We have so much fun together.”
Despite the challenges she has faced over the last year, Savannah has still made sure to take time for herself. She had a quick Bahamas getaway in the spring to “recharge.” She has also made time for dating, though she’s noted the children still come first.
