Savannah Chrisley Opens up About Her Age-Gap Romance: 'I Love It'

Savannah Chrisley has no problem with the age gap in her relationship-even if it took a little bit of convincing for dad Todd Chrisley to get on board!

The Chrisley Knows Best star, 28, opened up about dating her older boyfriend during the Tuesday, June 16, episode of Jana Kramer's Whine Down podcast, revealing that she's been dating her mystery man for a year now after meeting him "through the political world of D.C."

Savannah has yet to publicly identify her boyfriend, only saying that he was a "financial guy" who was "the calmest, sweetest human being in the entire world."

Despite the Growing Up Chrisley alum's insistence that her new guy could be "the one," she admitted that her dad was initially "not too fond" of the age gap between his daughter and her new beau.

Asked by Kramer if Savannah and her boyfriend have hit an 18-year age difference, the former pageant queen only answered that they were "up there," but that he was younger than her 57-year-old father.

"I love it because you're not dealing with the insecurity of a younger guy who's trying to keep up," Savannah said of dating an older man, calling her boyfriend her "biggest cheerleader" and praising him for not being "intimidated" by her success.

"I feel like so many women in today's day and age are the primary breadwinners for their family, and they feel like they have to dim their light in order to make their partner feel better, and I'm like, 'No,'" she added. "First off, he does way better than I do, and I love that because I'm like, 'I don't have to. You're not intimidated by me. You think what I do is great. You don't try to stifle me.' He's built his businesses, so now he's kind of loving life and now he's like, 'You go do your thing.'"

Savannah also noted that she's in the "healthiest" relationship of her life, and that despite her dad's early concerns, the Chrisley family patriarch now "loves him."
