KEY POINTS

  • Savannah Chrisley said she couldn't move on with her life while her parents are in prison
  • The former beauty queen said that she doesn't want to have kids and get married without her parents
  • Emmy Medders told her soon-to-be sister-in-law that her parents wouldn't want her to put her life on hold

Savannah Chrisley doesn't want to make major changes in her life while her parents Todd and Julie Chrisley are behind bars.

Savannah opened up about how she sees her future in a new episode of her "Unlocked" podcast, where the 25-year-old reality star told her soon-to-be sister-in-law Emmy Medders that she has no plans to tie the knot while Todd and Julie serve their prison sentences.

"In my mind, I'm like, 'I can't move on with my life,'" Savannah said, Us Weekly reported. "Until I know that they're going to be there, I can't get married. I can't have a kid."

She also told Medders, 26 — who is engaged to Savannah's brother Chase Chrisley — that she is "grieving the loss of parents that are still alive."

Chase's soon-to-be-wife advised Savannah not to put her life on hold, insisting that her parents would not want her to do that.

"You can't just stop your life," the personal assistant said. "And your parents, our parents, wouldn't want us to do that, no matter what happens."

Savannah recounted a conversation with her dad giving her the same assurance — that he will always be there for her no matter where he is physically.

"Dad was like, 'I may not be here in front of you, but I'm still alive. I'm still fighting. You don't have to live a day without speaking to me,'" Savannah told Medders, recalling her father's words.

The former Miss Tennessee Teen USA also shared that she wants to focus on her beauty brand, Sassy, and other projects. However, she feels guilty moving forward with her life whenever she thinks about her parents.

"I keep pushing forward because that's always been my easy, go-to, where I don't have to focus on anything else. So, business-wise, I'm going to push forward. I'm going to do my podcast, Sassy, I'm going to do all the things," the former beauty queen said. "But personally, I feel like there's a level of guilt associated with moving on with my life and thinking of mom and dad not being here during certain life events."

Last month, Savannah spoke about facing a "really painful and really difficult future" without Todd and Julie. She also revealed that following her parents' sentences, she has custody of her younger brother Grayson, 16, and niece, Chloe, 10.

"I come home Tuesday, and I have custody of a 16-year-old and a 10-year-old, and we spend our first Thanksgiving not as a family," she said at the time, adding that she had "never been away from" her family over the holidays.

Meanwhile, in a previous episode of her podcast, Savannah asked her brother Chase why he hasn't addressed their parents' sentences publicly.

"I don't owe anybody an explanation," he said.

He added that he was not worried about what other people were thinking or saying about him. Instead, he wanted to be focused on being "good" for his fiancée, Medders.

"I feel like throughout everything that we have been going through, it has made me appreciate things I did not appreciate as much in the past. It's made me do a lot of reflecting and just kind of figuring out who I am now as a man and who I wanna be in 10 years, and then 10 years from there and 10 years from there," the reality star added.

The "Chrisley Knows Best" stars were found guilty of fraud and tax evasion in June. Todd and Julie were sentenced to 12 and seven years in prison, respectively. They are expected to report to their respective Florida institutions on Jan. 17.
