Savannah Chrisley is taking the next step in her life.
The 28-year-old reality star shared on the Tuesday, April 14 episode of her Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley podcast that she is in the process of freezing her eggs.
“We're freezing our eggs!” her dad, Todd Chrisley, who was a guest on the episode, declared.
“I am freezing my eggs,” Savannah clarified.
“If you do it, I do it because we do everything together,” Todd insisted, noting that he's even started experiencing similar medical symptoms to his daughter. “You told me that you had a cyst on one of your ovaries, and I feel like I have one on my testicle because you said you were having abdominal pains and I felt it the night before. I think there's something to that because I feel all your symptoms.”
Savannah called out her dad for thinking he is sick when, in reality, he is not. She then went on to share that her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, have been supportive of her plan to freeze her eggs.
“I am going through this whole process of freezing my eggs. And y'all have been great with it,” Savannah shared. “But you're like, ‘Why do you have to do this?' ”
Todd admitted that he did struggle with the concept at first.
“I've just never heard of such a thing because when I was growing up, you screwed and got pregnant and I had no problem with it,” Todd said. “I never had a problem getting somebody pregnant. I mean, I got people pregnant that I didn't wanna get pregnant. But, I mean, I don't understand all that.”

Todd and his ex-wife, Teresa Terry, are parents to daughter Lindsie, 36, and son Kyle, 34. Todd and Julie are parents to son Chase, 29, Savannah, and Grayson, 19. They also adopted Kyle's daughter Chloe.
This isn't the first time Savannah has discussed freezing her eggs. In Sept. 2024, she revealed she was considering the process during another episode of her podcast.
At the time, she shared she'd visited a doctor to get a consultation for freezing her eggs and have an ultrasound. She mentioned her "struggle with endometriosis" and how, at times, it can be "very discouraging."

"I have had multiple surgeries. My last surgery I had was in Atlanta and there is a video," she said of her YouTube account. "I talk about that process, of endometriosis and how tough it was on my body.”

The star has also touched upon how her endometriosis diagnosis has complicated her hopes of getting pregnant naturally.
"The doctor was like, 'You could very well get pregnant naturally, but you also could have a problem conceiving,' " she shared in 2024. "You won't have a problem carrying a child, but it's the conceiving aspect of it.”

Savannah hasn't revealed the identity of her current partner. On March 1, she posted a mirror selfie of herself holding a man's hand without tagging him or showing his face.
“I've spent a lot of my life being the strong one… the protector, the ‘alpha' because I had to be,” she wrote at the time. “But a good man doesn't compete with a strong woman. He honors her, protects her, and gives her the safety to be soft.”
