Todd & Julie Chrisley's Relationship Timeline: From Reality TV to Prison
How Todd and Julie Chrisley met
It was in 1996 that the Chrisley couple tied the knot, but before that, Todd was actually married to his high school sweetheart. Todd was first captivated by Julie when he saw her at a friend's house. 'The moment she walked in the room, it's the only time before and since that anything had ever taken my breath, other than when I walked past a mirror,' the television personality joked to Us Weekly back in 2022. Tying the knot in 1996, it wasn't long before they expanded their family, Todd already having two children, Lindsie and Kyle, from his previous marriage. Inside the Chrisley family tree
After getting married, Todd and Julie welcomed three children: Chase, Savannah and Grayson. Additionally, they've adopted their granddaughter, Chloe, after her dad Kyle's struggle with substance abuse. After Todd and Julie began their sentences, it was ultimately their daughter Savannah who most significantly contributed to their release. During the time in which they were incarcerated, the 27-year-old influencer advocated for her parents to politicians and the public, and in the end, it was what led to their pardon. Life after prison: Todd and Julie reunited
On June 28 and 29, Todd and Julie, accompanied by their children Savannah and Grayson, gave their first interviews since their release, detailing their plans for the future, what their experiences behind bars were like, and what it was like reuniting after so much time apart.
'I was never away from her because she was in my spirit the entire time,' Todd shared on My View With Lara Trump. 'I thought of her every second of my day. So, when I hugged her the first time, it was like I was home. It was not like I had been missing. I knew I was coming home to the same woman that I left. Now, when I say the same, I'm talking about in my heart spiritually.' As for the couple's future, Todd revealed on an ABC News Studio Special that they have plans of relocating to South Carolina in the hopes of acquiring a mansion and converting it to a hotel. Additionally, the family was confirmed to be at the center of a new reality show.

THE RUNDOWN On Friday, Justin Bieber posted new pictures with wife Hailey Bieber, including a shot of them sharing a passionate kiss. In the image, which Hailey then shared in her Instagram Stories, the model is wearing a cropped black tank top and has her arms wrapped around a shirtless Justin. She is holding a yellow can and phone in one hand and has her eyes closed as they kiss. He has one hand around her waist, the other coming around her back. The photo was reportedly taken after a listening party for his his new album, Swag, at the Bird Street Club. In a few carousels, Justin shared snaps from the whole night, which featured dancing, music, and what looks like a mini golf range. In other pictures, he stands behind Hailey with his arms wrapped around her, looking out at the crowd. In another, she is smiling behind him as he looks out over the turntables. The singer has been sharing more shots of Hailey lately, including another kissing photo from a recent vacation they took together. The couple is coming up on their seven-year wedding anniversary. It is almost the first birthday of their son, Jack Blues Bieber, who they welcomed last August. In Swag, Justin seemingly made references to marriage troubles and his commitment to sticking with Hailey no matter what. On the song 'Walking Away,' Justin sings, 'Baby, I ain't walking away / You were my diamond / Gave you a ring / I made you a promise / I told you I'd change / It's just human nature / These growing pains / And baby, I ain't walking away.' In 'Daisies,' he discusses how they deal with conflict, singing: 'You leave me on read, babe, but I still get the message / Instead of a line, it's three dots, but I can connect them / And if it ain't right, babe, you know I respect it / But if you need time, just take your time / Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it / Way you got me all in my head / Think I'd rather you in my bed / Whatever it is, you know I can take it / I'm countin' the days, how many days 'til I can see you again?' In late June, a source told Us Weekly, 'Justin's been a hard person to deal with recently because of what he's going through. Hailey is the stable parent and the one keeping their family together. It's been really hard on her.' That source added, 'They don't talk about divorce.' A second source said, 'They believe they are soulmates and meant for each other. They'll do anything to make it work.'

University Hospital – Exam Room: Sarah notes Marlena's slightly high blood pressure and says she wants to run more tests. University Hospital – Lobby: Brady and Rachel arrive and greet Belle. She says Marlena is good, but they aren't so sure. Brady explains to Rachel it's like her stomach aches. She feels bad and then feels better. Rachel and Brady exit to buy Tate's baby a gift. Just then, Marlena and Sarah emerge from the exam room. Belle asks how her mother is doing. Marlena says she's doing much better, and Sarah ran more tests. She admonishes Marlena not to miss anymore meals. With that, Belle and Marlena exit. Rachel and Brady return and Sarah says Marlena and Belle just left. Rachel pulls out the gift they bought for Tate's baby and Brady explains about the quick birth and adoption. Brady says it's a shame because Tate didn't get to meet her. Sarah is surprised to hear the baby is a girl as she remembers the ultrasound where she and Sophia found out it was a boy. Rachel asks about a name and Brady says he doesn't know. She says she likes the name Mackenzie and asks if Sarah likes it too (yikes). Brady sends Rachel to the vending machine so Sarah can cry.

Horton Square: Gwen walks out of the hotel and wonders how she recognizes young Douglas. She flashes back and remembers him trying to deliver her some room service. Gwen calls the police to report the necklace being stolen when Gabi and Little T walk up. She asks about the baby and Gabi tells her a condensed version of the story. Gwen bends down and tells Little T to run as fast as he can from this horrid family. The two immediately start throwing insults about their inability to keep men. Gwen talks about how wealthy she is because of Dimitri's inheritance which Gabi assumes she will squander. She can't imagine why Dimitri didn't divorce her the minute he was released from prison.

Julie is stand offish until Doug says he has a gift for her and hands her the necklace. Julie asks where he got it and Doug admits he took it from Gwen's room because it doesn't belong to her. Julie explains about her latest encounter with Gwen and now understands she was telling the truth. Doug asks if Julie is going to turn him in but she thinks it isn't necessary. Julie begins to crack when young Douglas says how sorry he is for everything. He says how much kindness and love she showed him which he hadn't felt in a very long time. Doug hates he broke Julie's heart and trust and then tries to leave. Julie holds him up and asks if she will help her put on her grandmother's necklace. Doug takes the necklace and clasps it around Julie's neck. He says it looks lovely on her and Julie says it makes her feel closer to her mother and grandmother. Doug says he gets it as one of his most prized possessions is a pair of cufflinks from his grandpa Robert. Just then, Julie tells Doug to stay put and runs in the other room. Julie finds Doug's pocket watch and kisses it. When she returns, she hands it to young Douglas and says it belonged to his other grandfather. Doug thanks Julie for her kindness. She asks him to tell her the amount of money he owes the loan sharks and she will wire him the money. Julie doesn't want him to be in continued danger. Doug is so very grateful and Julie says she knows it's what Doug would have wanted. Marlena and John's Penthouse: Belle asks Marlena about EJ's hypnosis session. She hesitates because of doctor/patient confidentiality but Belle says he already told her about it. She wonders if trauma is actually what's keeping him from remembering the shooting. Marlena isn't certain. Belle apologizes as she doesn't want to stress her mother out. She asks about the grief they are both experiencing about John and wonders if they talk about it enough with everything going on. Belle wants her mother to know she never forgets it but doesn't bring it up as she wants to respect her as a psychiatrist. Marlena says not talking about the situation is right for her in this moment. Susan arrives and tells Belle she there for Johnny but also to offer her condolences about John. Marlena walks back in and Susan tells her how amazing John Black was. She goes on and on about their history together and Marlena says he was very fond of her. She embraces Dr Marlena Evans as Belle controls her giggles. Susan pulls back and says she got a very weird vibe from her. Marlena inquires and Susan tries to explain but Belle quickly gets her out. Days of Our Lives Recap: Marlena Collapses in Court Endings Young Douglas promises to pay Julie back. She doesn't want his money but only asks he stay out of trouble. Doug promises he will make life changes, so he doesn't continue making the same mistakes. He grabs his bag, and they promise to keep in touch. Julie says Doug has a great deal of potential and asks that he return to Salem when he has his life together. Doug promises to do so and exits (Don't go!). Gwen wonders why Gabi shot EJ but she says she didn't. Gabi admits she hated EJ and tells her many reasons why. Gabi asks if Gwen ran into Stefan in Alamania but she did not. She says Tony and Anna tried to reach out with no response (Both Dimitri and Stefan MIA…). Gwen and Gabi tell each other to go to hell before parting ways. Johnny and Chanel get a little frisky when they realize they've got a little time on their hands. Sarah admits she should have separated from Xander when he tried to hurt Brady. She promises to stop talking about Xander, but he says she can vent to him whenever she wants. Sarah says she has so much time on her hands as Victoria is with Xander. She then agrees to go to dinner with him and Rachel. After they exit, Sarah pulls up Sophia's ultrasound and confirms the baby was a boy. Belle returns from walking Susan out and finds her mother asleep on the sofa. She covers her with a blanket and exits the room. The camera focuses on Marlena and shoots to the book '1001 Arabian Nights.' In her dreams, we find Marlena in her nightgown entering what seems to be a restaurant. She asks aloud what this place is and then two scantily clad women wrap luxurious fabric around her. Next, Marlena looks up and asks someone what they want (Those last few scenes were flashback from Stefano making Marlena his Queen of the Night which led to her initial possession).
