Chase Chrisley and his ‘Bad Girl’ friend surprised fans with a family expansion announcement!
Chase Chrisley Family Expansion Rumor: Fact or Fiction?
Rumors are swirling that Chrisley Knows Best star Chase Chrisley and his girlfriend, Jodi Laine Fournerat, dubbed his “bad girl” by fans for her bold Instagram presence, have announced a family expansion in 2025. However, as of July 7, 2025, there’s no confirmed announcement from Chase, Jodi, or credible sources like People or E! News to support this claim. Let’s break down the buzz, clarify the speculation, and explore what’s happening with Chase’s family and personal life.
No Evidence of a Family Expansion
The rumor likely stems from misinterpretations of Chase’s recent social media activity or fan speculation on platforms like X, where users like

hinted at a “big Chrisley surprise” without specifics. A search for “Chase Chrisley family expansion announcement 2025” yields no direct evidence of a pregnancy, engagement, or adoption. Instead, recent reports focus on Chase’s parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, being pardoned and released from prison on May 28, 2025, after their 2022 fraud convictions. Chase called their return the “best birthday gift” for his 29th birthday on June 1, per People. This family reunion, celebrated with emotional posts on Instagram (

), may have been misconstrued as a “family expansion.”
Chase and Jodi’s Relationship
Chase, 29, has been dating Jodi Laine Fournerat, a surgical assistant, since late 2023, following his 2023 split from ex-fiancée Emmy Medders, per E! News. Jodi’s confident, edgy vibe—seen in her Instagram posts with leather jackets and playful captions—earned her the “bad girl” label from fans, per

on X. The couple shares frequent PDA-filled posts, like a June 2025 beach trip snap, but there’s no mention of marriage or kids. Chase’s focus has been on his family’s Lifetime docuseries, The Untitled Chrisleys Project, premiering late 2025, and his alcohol-free seltzer brand, Gold Drop, launched July 1, per People. Jodi appears supportive, often reposting Chase’s business ventures, but no family expansion hints have surfaced.
Chrisley Family Context
The Chrisley family’s recent milestones could fuel the rumor mill. Todd and Julie’s release reunited them with Chase, Savannah, Grayson, Chloe, and Nanny Faye, with Savannah as the legal guardian of Grayson (19) and Chloe (12) during their incarceration, per E! News. The new docuseries, produced by Bunim/Murray, will showcase their post-prison life, with Chase as an executive producer, per Deadline. Fans on X, like

, speculated this “raw” series might include personal announcements, but Chase emphasized it’s about “truth” and family struggles, not sitcom-style reveals. Savannah’s April 2025 split from Robert Shiver and focus on advocacy also shifts attention away from Chase’s personal life.
Addressing the Rumor
Without a verified announcement, the “family expansion” rumor seems to be a mix of fan excitement and misread signals. Chase’s January 2025 arrest for simple battery in Atlanta, where he allegedly slapped a bar manager, briefly sparked drama but was dismissed as “blown out of proportion,” per Atlanta News First. This incident didn’t involve Jodi or family plans. Posts on X, like
’s vague “Chrisley baby news?” tweet, lack substantiation. Chase’s recent People interview (June 27, 2025) focused on his parents’ return and his sobriety journey, not a baby or engagement.
What’s Next for Chase?
Chase is busy with Gold Drop and the Lifetime series, which films in Nashville and may include Jodi, per Reality Tea. He’s expressed gratitude for his family’s reunion, describing their tearful embrace as a “beautiful moment” to Entertainment Tonight. If a family expansion were imminent, expect Chase or Savannah to share it on Instagram or their podcasts (Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley), as they’ve done with major updates. For now, the Chrisleys are focused on rebuilding after Todd and Julie’s prison stint.
