Chrisley Family Doubts Can't Dim Chase's Love for Jodi
Chase Chrisley's commitment to his girlfriend, Jodi Laine Fournerat, appears strong, even with his family expressing doubts.
Viewers gained insight into Chase’s romance with Jodi during the September 2025 broadcast of The Chrisleys: Back to Reality on Lifetime. The prospect of Chase proposing to Jodi on the program clearly unsettled Julie Chrisley. Furthermore, Savannah Chrisley declared she would "object" to any marriage between them.
"My maternal duties don't cease simply because I am incarcerated," Julie stated in a prison phone call, featured in the docuseries’ fourth installment. "While my capabilities are significantly constrained, I remain, fundamentally, a mother to my offspring."
She further explained, "I wasn't pleased when he shared his intention to marry Jodi. I lack familiarity with her. Consequently, I cannot support my son's marriage to a person I haven't had the chance to get to know."

Chase officially introduced Jodi to the public in November 2023, several months following the termination of his engagement to former fiancée Emmy Medders.
"My mother prefers I not hasten any decisions. She desires for me to proceed cautiously, yet more than two years have elapsed, so I don't perceive myself as rushing," Chase commented on the docuseries regarding his plans to propose. "I believe much of her sentiment stems from a fear of missing out, but currently, we are unable to alter the circumstances."
