Todd and Julie Chrisley, known for their reality TV show ‘Chrisley Knows Best,’ have opened up about the emotional strain of their 28-month separation during their prison terms for tax fraud. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the couple reflected on how they managed to keep their marriage intact despite the long period without direct communication.
Both Todd and Julie were sentenced to federal prison for fraud and tax evasion charges, with Todd receiving a 12-year sentence and Julie a seven-year term. Their separation lasted for nearly three years, with the couple unable to speak directly for the entire duration. Instead, they relied on emails, which were only exchanged every few days, making it difficult to maintain a consistent dialogue.
In an emotional interview, Julie shared the emotional toll of being separated from her husband, noting that they were lucky to be able to see their children and have occasional visits. She emphasized that their communication was limited, which made it challenging to stay connected. Todd, on the other hand, described the struggle of being apart from his wife, who he said was always on his mind.
