Savannah Chrisley slammed the 'incredibly cruel' people who have criticized her after she revealed her secret marriage to convicted fraudster Jason Galanis.
On Saturday, she took to her Instagram Story to share a lengthy post, musing about turning to her faith amid the 'noise' and 'hate' from people she said are 'quick to judge.'
Her post comes just days after Chrisley, 29, announced she was engaged and was expecting her first child with her fiancé — the identity of whom was subsequently revealed to be Galanis, 56.
And then another bombshell dropped, revealing that the pair had already secretly tied the knot on July 14 in the Cayman Islands months before she made her pregnancy announcement.
Shortly after the news made headlines, she shared a snapshot of the beach and tagged her location at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club as she hit back at any criticism.
'What a whirlwind this week has been...,' she wrote beside a white heart emoji as she began her post.

In a lengthy passage, she continued: 'This world can be so incredibly cruel.
'People can be quick to judge, quick to condemn, and slow to show grace,' she wrote. 'But as I sit here looking out at God's beautiful creation, I'm reminded of something so much greater than the noise around me...
'The world may try to steal your peace,' she added. 'But it can never take away what God has promised you.
'I've learned that you don't have to defend what God has already ordained,' she wrote. 'You don't have to fight every battle, answer every accusation, or convince the world of what God already knows to be true.'
After her secret marriage was unveiled, she doubled down and said she is 'choosing love when ... met with hate.'
'Sometimes the greatest act of faith is simply being still, choosing love when you're met with hate, extending grace when none is given, and trusting that Jesus is working even in the moments that hurt the most,' she wrote.
She also said her 'heart is full' and her 'blessings are immeasurable' before adding: 'And my faith is stronger than any storm this world could ever bring.'
Chrisley went on to share a Bible passage and concluded her post by writing: 'Thank You, Jesus, for a peace this world cannot give and a love this world cannot take away.'

Earlier this week, on Tuesday, Chrisley announced that she was engaged and expecting her first child with her boyfriend after just over a year of dating.
In the post, she referred to him simply as J, however, it was revealed soon after that her mystery man was Galanis.
Galanis, who is 27 years her senior, was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison in 2020 for his role in 'two multimillion-dollar fraud schemes,' but his sentence was commuted by Trump on March 28, 2025.
Prior to his stint in prison, which he served alongside his fiancée's father, Todd Chrisley, he was married to his ex-wife, Monet Berger, for ten years before they separated in May 2016.
Berger, a real estate agent based in Los Angeles, filed for divorce in August 2017, citing irreconcilable differences as grounds for divorce. In the petition for dissolution, obtained by the Daily Mail, she claimed he 'forged' her name 'on more than one tax document' and fell 'victim of his crimes.'
Galanis, who has yet to publicly address past claims against him, has already moved into Chrisley's $2.2 million Nashville mansion, according to TMZ.
On her podcast, Chrisley explained that she and Galanis first met through 'the world of politics' last year while she was trying to get a presidential pardon for her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were found guilty of taking part in a $30 million tax fraud scheme and sentenced to 12 and seven years behind bars respectively in 2022.

Her parents were pardoned by Trump in May 2025 and served only two and a half years of their sentences. It was later revealed that Galanis and Chrisley's dad served their prison sentences at the same Pensacola, Florida, facility over eight months in 2023; pictured in April 2017

Chrisley explained on the podcast that when the pardon was granted in May 2025, Galanis reached out to her to congratulate her.
They started talking regularly after that and eventually began dating in July 2025; he proposed five months later in December while they were vacationing in the Cayman Islands, with her describing the ring as 'insane and everything I ever wanted.'
