Nanny Faye Chrisley Shuts Down Dating Talk on “Chrisley Confessions”
In a lighthearted exchange on the Wednesday, August 5, episode of the “Chrisley Confessions 2.0” podcast, reality TV star Todd Chrisley, 56, and his wife Julie Chrisley, 52, turned their attention to the romantic future—or lack thereof—of family matriarch Nanny Faye Chrisley, 80. The discussion quickly escalated into a playful attempt by the couple to encourage Nanny Faye back into the dating scene, much to her humorous dismay.
Jello Shots and Dating Sites: Nanny Faye’s Hilarious Rebuttals
The conversation kicked off with Todd jokingly suggesting that “Jello shots make your clothes come off,” prompting Nanny Faye to quip, “Oh my gosh, they would run for cover.” When Todd pressed further, asking if suitors would flee if she “stripped,” Nanny Faye, ever the quick wit, asserted, “Well, you know, I look pretty good to be 80. But you know what, I’m not advertising.”
The playful banter continued as Todd proposed putting his mother on a dating site. Nanny Faye promptly retorted, “Well, you go ahead and put yourself on a dating site,” to which Todd, affirming his commitment to his wife, stated, “I don’t need that, I got Julie.” Nanny Faye reiterated her stance, declaring, “I don’t want nobody.”
“The Golden Bachelorette” Not in the Cards for Nanny Faye
The suggestion then pivoted to a potential television appearance. Julie Chrisley enthusiastically proposed, “She might be on The Golden Bachelorette,” an idea Todd seemed to embrace, adding, “Mama, we could put you on there.” However, the 80-year-old matriarch was quick to shut down the notion. “You not putting me nowhere. I’m resigning, I’m through,” she firmly stated.
Despite their continued encouragement, Nanny Faye remained unconvinced, revealing she “didn’t even watch the first ones” of the ABC dating series and expressed no desire for viewers to “watch her stupid s—.” Todd’s final playful plea, “But mama, you could have 12 men,” was met with Nanny Faye’s pragmatic response: she “Can’t even take care of one.”
A Contented Life: Remembering Gene Chrisley
For over four decades, Nanny Faye was married to Gene Chrisley, an Army veteran who served in the Korean War. The couple tied the knot in the 1960s and later settled in Atlanta, where they raised their sons. Gene Chrisley passed away in 2012. Nanny Faye’s steadfast refusal to re-enter the dating world suggests a contentedness with her current status, upholding her image as a beloved and independent figure.
New episodes of “Chrisley Confessions 2.0” are released weekly on Wednesdays, continuing to offer a glimpse into the Chrisley family’s dynamic and humorous interactions.
