Julie Chrisley’s children are showering her with love as she marks her third Mother’s Day in prison.
As Mother’s Day arrived on Sunday, May 11, Julie’s children, Savannah and Chase Chrisley, shared loving tributes in her honor across social media.
“I miss you so bad today…my heart feels like it never stops breaking 💔,” Savannah, 27, wrote on her Instagram Stories, alongside a throwback photo of the mother-daughter pair from the Unlocked podcast host’s childhood. “What I wouldn’t give to lay my head on your chest…”
For Chase’s post, the 28-year-old celebrated Julie as well as his grandmothers, Nanny Faye Chrisley and Pam Hughes. “Happy Mothers Day to these beautiful ladies! I’m a very blessed man,” he wrote.
Days before her Mother’s Day, Chase shared a photo with Nanny Faye, sharing his “love” for her. He then posted a pic with Julie, 51, and called her “my angel.” He also uploaded a photo of Julie and his dad, Todd Chrisley, writing, “My heart.”

The Chrisley family matriarch and Todd, her husband of nearly 29 years, were sentenced in November 2022 to a combined 19 years in prison for fraud. Nearly two months later, Julie reported to Federal Medical Center Lexington while Todd, 56, turned himself into the Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Florida.
After launching an appeal against their case in December 2022, the couple — who have since received reduced sentences — were granted oral arguments, which allowed their lawyers to make their case and for judges to ask any questions they may have.
Todd’s request was denied while Julie’s was approved due to a lack of sufficient evidence. However, she was later resentenced to her original sentencing.
Although Julie and Todd are working on appealing their case, Savannah recently told PEOPLE about the alternative paths they’re considering: a pardon from President Donald Trump.
“I know that I am going through the proper channels to do so, and I’m going to bring as much awareness to it as possible because these things should not happen,” she said.

In the meantime, Savannah will continue to serve as the legal guardian for her younger siblings Chloe, 12, and Grayson, 18.
“I wasn’t expecting to get two kids,” Savannah previously told PEOPLE. “So, between that, legal expenses to fight for my parents, I am just like anyone else out here. Sure, I put a smile on my face. I look the part, I play the part. But it doesn’t mean I actually am the part. You fake it till you make it. That’s the world that we live in.”
