A New Beginning for Grayson Chrisley — Here’s What He’s Up to Now.
Where Is Grayson Chrisley Now? Inside His College Life, Career Dreams, and Family Comeback
When Chrisley Knows Best ended in 2023, fans wondered what would happen to the youngest member of the family, Grayson Chrisley. At just 16, he faced one of the toughest chapters of his life — his parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, were sent to prison. For a while, it seemed like the family’s world had fallen apart. But two years later, the Chrisleys are rebuilding, and Grayson is stepping into adulthood with a new sense of purpose.
Starting Over: Grayson Heads to College
Now 19 years old, Grayson Chrisley is finding his own path at the University of Alabama, where he began studying in January 2025. His big sister, Savannah Chrisley, who became his legal guardian after their parents’ sentencing, shared a heartfelt message when she dropped him off at school.
“Moving Grayson into the University of Alabama this weekend has been one of the hardest and most beautiful moments of my life,” Savannah wrote. “The past two years, Gray had every reason to give up, but instead, he showed up for himself and for the people he loves.”
By August 2025, Grayson was back for his second semester, fully embracing campus life. On Savannah’s Unlocked podcast, he revealed his academic plans — majoring in business and minoring in sports management. His long-term goal? To become a sports agent.
“I already have an internship set up with Lee [White] at WME in their sports section,” he said confidently. “That’s what I wanna do.”
While Savannah initially teased him about wanting to “go to college just to party,” Grayson seems focused and driven, eager to carve out his own future — one built on ambition, not reality TV fame.
Family Reunion and a New Chapter
In May 2025, just days after Grayson’s 19th birthday, the Chrisley family experienced a long-awaited moment of joy: Todd and Julie were released from prison. Their reunion was emotional, marking the end of a painful separation that began in 2022.
By September, the family began documenting their life after prison in a new reality project — marking Grayson’s first return to television in over two years. Fans of Chrisley Knows Best will once again get a glimpse into the family’s dynamic as they rebuild their lives, heal, and find humor amid chaos.
Meet Grayson’s Girlfriend: Skylar Ehlinger
Grayson isn’t just thriving academically — his personal life is blossoming, too. In August 2025, he went public with his girlfriend, Skylar Ehlinger, who also attends the University of Alabama.
Skylar is ambitious in her own right — she’s studying sports media, is part of the Association for Women in Sports Media, and even runs a small business called Signs by Sky, designing custom banners and event graphics.
The couple has already spent time with Grayson’s family, including attending Alabama football games together. Savannah, known for being protective of her siblings, appears to support the relationship — and fans have noticed how happy Grayson seems these days.
Overcoming the Past: Grayson’s Accident and Legal Drama
Before college and new beginnings, Grayson had a serious scare. In 2022, he was involved in a car accident on a Nashville interstate that shut down traffic for hours. Grayson later said on Savannah’s podcast that the crash was “really bad,” though he was fortunate to walk away with only minor injuries.
“I’m fine,” he recalled, “but the truck is not fine.”
However, the incident resurfaced in 2024, when Patrick Rykwalder, the driver of the other vehicle, filed a lawsuit against Todd, Julie, Grayson, and Savannah, seeking $750,000 in damages. Rykwalder accused Grayson of being a “distracted driver” and failing to maintain a safe distance. The Chrisleys moved to have the case dismissed, but as of late 2025, the outcome remains unclear.
Looking Ahead
Today, Grayson Chrisley seems determined to move forward — not as the reality TV kid fans remember, but as a young man finding his independence. With his parents home, a strong family bond, and a bright future in sports management ahead, Grayson’s story is one of resilience and renewal.
After years defined by scandal and setbacks, the Chrisleys are rebuilding. And at the center of that comeback, Grayson stands as proof that even in the most public storms, it’s possible to grow, rebuild, and start again.
