Savannah Chrisley, 29, flaunted her massive engagement ring on Instagram Saturday with a pointed message for critics of her marriage to convicted fraudster Jason Galanis, 56.
The reality star re-posted a jeweler’s video of her oval-cut diamond, which experts have estimated could be worth upwards of $1.5 million with a center stone of 15-18 carats and side stones assessed at 2 carats each. The clip carried a caption that read: “My man just said, ‘You’re not too expensive, you’re my best investment.’ Ladies… find a man with his mindset.”
Chrisley’s public display of the ring comes amid ongoing scrutiny of her whirlwind romance with Galanis. The two began dating in July 2025, married in a secret ceremony in the Cayman Islands a year later, and announced both the marriage and her pregnancy in late October. She is expecting their first child, a boy.
His identity was initially concealed when she first announced their relationship on Oct. 27, referring to him only as “J” in her Instagram post and podcast episode. The outlet later revealed his full name.
Galanis carries a notorious history that has fueled public backlash against the couple. Once dubbed “Porn’s New King,” he was convicted in multiple financial fraud schemes, including a $60 million scam targeting South Dakota’s Oglala Sioux tribe. He also served as an associate of Hunter Biden’s and testified before the House Oversight Committee in 2024 as part of House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into then-President Joe Biden.
He served several years at Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Florida, where his time overlapped with Chrisley’s father, Todd Chrisley. President Donald Trump commuted Galanis’ sentence in March 2025 with no explanation provided. Two months later, Trump also pardoned Todd and Julie Chrisley, who had been convicted in 2022 of conspiring to commit bank fraud and evade taxes.
Chrisley has defended her relationship against mounting criticism. In her Oct. 27 announcement, she captioned a clip showing her husband and growing baby bump: “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 described Galanis as her “protector,” her “fiercest fighter,” and her “most loyal person.”
Last weekend, she took to Instagram Stories to directly address what she called cruel judgment from the public.
“People can be quick to judge, quick to condemn, and slow to show grace,” she wrote. “But as I sit here looking out at God’s beautiful creation, I’m reminded of something so much greater than the noise around me …”
“The world may try to steal your peace, but it can never take away what God has promised you,” she continued.
She added that “love always wins” and that her “heart is full.”
“Thank You, Jesus, for a peace this world cannot give and a love this world cannot take away,” she concluded.
The couple’s living situation has also drawn attention, with the outlet reporting that Galanis has moved into Chrisley’s $2.2 million Nashville home.
The ring display marked her latest effort to project confidence in the relationship despite the controversy surrounding her husband’s criminal past and their 27-year age gap.
Chrisley first rose to fame on the USA Network reality series “Chrisley Knows Best,” which chronicled the wealthy Atlanta family’s lavish lifestyle and Todd Chrisley’s over-the-top parenting. The show ran for nine seasons before the family’s legal troubles led to its cancellation and both parents’ imprisonment, making Savannah’s own legal and romantic entanglements a continuation of the family’s complicated public saga.
She has continued building her media presence through her podcast and social media channels, where she documents her pregnancy and relationship milestones.
Chrisley is expected to continue sharing updates on her pregnancy and upcoming motherhood on her podcast and Instagram platforms.
