Todd Chrisley Has Wild Plan for Nanny Faye’s Love Life: Even ‘The Golden Bachelorette’ Is on the Table.
Todd Chrisley Jokes About Putting Mom Nanny Faye on a Dating Site or The Golden Bachelorette: “We’re Gonna Pimp You Out”
Todd Chrisley is never one to shy away from teasing his family — and this time, the spotlight is on his beloved mother, Nanny Faye.
On the Wednesday, Aug. 5 episode of the Chrisley Confessions 2.0 podcast, the Chrisley Knows Best patriarch had listeners laughing when he suggested that his 80-year-old mom should jump back into the dating pool. But, as always with the Chrisleys, the conversation took some hilarious turns.
From Jello Shots to Dating Sites
The playful banter began when Todd, 56, mentioned Jello shots — the colorful, boozy treats often served at parties.
“Jello shots make your clothes come off,” Todd joked.
Nanny Faye didn’t miss a beat, firing back: “Oh my gosh, they would run for cover.”
Todd, seizing the moment, teased, “So you say if you strip, they’d run?” prompting laughter from his wife Julie Chrisley, 52, who joined in on the fun.
Nanny Faye, however, wasn’t about to let the joke get away from her. “Well, you know, I look pretty good to be 80,” she quipped confidently. But then, with a touch of Southern charm, she added, “But you know what, I’m not advertising.”
Todd’s “Golden” Idea
That’s when Todd dropped the suggestion that set the rest of the conversation in motion. “But mom, I’m going to put you on a dating site,” he said, clearly enjoying the mental image.

Without hesitation, Nanny Faye shot back, “Well, you go ahead and put yourself on a dating site.”
Todd, smiling, reminded her, “I don’t need that, I got Julie.”
But Nanny Faye was determined to make her feelings clear: “I don’t want nobody,” she stated firmly. That didn’t stop Todd from playfully pushing the idea further: “We’re going to pimp you out.”
Julie quickly chimed in with another suggestion: “She might be on The Golden Bachelorette.”
The Golden Bachelorette Debate
For those unfamiliar, The Golden Bachelorette is ABC’s spin-off of the hit dating franchise The Bachelor, featuring older contestants looking for love. Julie’s idea set Todd off again: “Mama, we could put you on there.”
Nanny Faye wasn’t having it. “You not putting me nowhere. I’m resigning, I’m through,” she said, making it abundantly clear she had no interest in televised romance.
She explained that she hadn’t even watched the first season of The Golden Bachelor and had no plans to start. “I wouldn’t want to appear on that show for people to watch my stupid s—,” she admitted bluntly.

Julie and Todd burst out laughing at her unfiltered response. But Todd wasn’t done painting the picture: “But mama, you could have 12 men.”
Nanny Faye’s response? Pure comedic gold: “Can’t even take care of one.”
A Look Back at Nanny Faye’s Love Story
Behind the humor lies a touching personal history. Nanny Faye was married to Gene Chrisley, an Army veteran who fought in the Korean War. The couple tied the knot in the 1960s and built a life together in Atlanta, Georgia, raising their sons — including Todd — in a close-knit Southern household.
The marriage lasted more than 40 years until Gene’s death in 2012. His passing left a significant void in the Chrisley family, and it’s clear that Nanny Faye’s love for her late husband still runs deep.
While her son might be ready to see her with someone new, Nanny Faye’s reluctance is perhaps rooted in the fact that she already had her great love — and, at least for now, isn’t looking for another.
The Chrisley Family’s Signature Humor
Long-time fans of Chrisley Knows Best will recognize this type of playful back-and-forth as a hallmark of the family’s dynamic. The Chrisleys often mix heartfelt moments with outrageous humor, giving audiences an authentic glimpse into their relationships.
Todd’s joking suggestion of The Golden Bachelorette isn’t just about matchmaking — it’s about keeping the family’s bond strong through shared laughter, even when the jokes are a little outrageous.
What’s Next for the Chrisleys
The Chrisley Confessions 2.0 podcast continues to serve as a space where Todd, Julie, and other family members share personal stories, current happenings, and plenty of playful ribbing. New episodes drop every Wednesday, giving fans a fresh dose of the Chrisleys’ mix of sass, sincerity, and Southern charm.
As for Nanny Faye’s dating future? Well, if she has her way, it’s not happening anytime soon. But with Todd in the picture, you never know when the subject might come up again — possibly with even more outrageous plans.
One thing’s for sure: whether it’s on a dating app, a reality TV set, or simply at home with her family, Nanny Faye is never short on love… or laughs.
