#885. America’s favorite reality TV family is back and here to tell their truth!

Todd and Julie Chrisley sit down with Kaitlyn Bristowe for a raw, emotional, and surprisingly funny conversation about life after the headlines — from how Chrisley Knows Best really began (hint: it all started at Fashion Week!) to the rise, the fall, and the comeback everyone’s been waiting for.

They open up about being separated for 28 months, the unexpected friendships they made on the inside, and how they managed to stay connected when they couldn’t speak for over two years. The couple also discusses their presidential pardon, their work in prison reform, and what they’re doing now to help others who feel wrongfully accused.

True to form, the Chrisleys bring humor, heart, and a dose of Southern fire to every story — proving that even after everything, their resilience (and wit) still shine through.
