Savannah Chrisley is shedding some light on her recent split from ex Robert Shriver. 

PEOPLE exclusively revealed that the couple had split after nearly two years together with a sneak peek clip from the April 15 episode of Chrisley’s Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley podcast, titled “I Got Dumped.” 

“It’s been about a month and a half since Robert and I broke up,” the 27-year-old shared. “So there it is. Robert and I broke up on March 6. Not that I’m keeping track of dates or anything, but I have taken a lot of time to process things and truly grieve the loss of the relationship that I thought was gonna be where I was for the rest of my life.”

In the newly released episode, Chrisley goes into more detail about the split, placing part of the blame on Robert’s estranged wife, Lindsay Shriver, who is currently awaiting trial for allegedly plotting his murder.

“I don’t wanna give her the notoriety that she has so badly been seeking, but I feel like that’s the only way to go,” Chrisley said of Lindsay, a former beauty queen and mother of three. “I don’t think I will ever forgive her for what she has put Robert and the boys through. I don’t believe that Robert and I would be where we were at today if she wouldn’t have caused so much mass destruction.”

Chrisley, whom PEOPLE exclusively revealed started dating Robert in September 2023 just a few months after the alleged murder-for-hire plot, said that her now-ex needed to have worked through his struggles prior to their relationship. 

“She absolutely destroyed a great man when it comes to his heart and his life, just all of it,” the reality star said of Lindsay. “She destroyed him and he should have done a lot of work on himself before he and I met. He deserved to get to work through all of that pain and trauma so that he could move on with his life in a healthy manner.”

PEOPLE previously reported that Lindsay was detained in the Bahamas in July 2023 after being accused of enlisting her then-boyfriend, Terrance Bethel, and his friend, Farron Newbold Jr., to kill ex-NFL player Robert. Authorities charged her, Bethel and Newbold with conspiracy to commit murder. They have pleaded not guilty. Her trial is currently scheduled to begin in August. 

Chrisley said that while Lindsay was detained in the Bahamas, “life was great,” but when she returned, “the chaos came back with her.” 

“It’s like she wanted to destroy everything in his path, her path, everyone,” Chrisley claimed of Lindsay. “There was never any sense of care for another individual other than herself.”

Chrisley said that Robert, who shares three sons with his estranged wife, found the drama between his ex and Chrisley to be “too much.” 

“The chaos that she brought our way, it was too much for Robert to handle,” Chrisley said. “I know it was too much for him to handle. And so she got what she wanted. So you got what you wanted. It’s that simple. You once again destroyed another thing in your life and other people’s lives.”

Moving forward, Chrisley vowed not to date men who aren’t officially divorced. She added that Robert filed for divorce in April 2023, claiming, “He’s no further along in his divorce today than he was the day that I met him, which is absolutely insane.”

Chrisley plans to be “single for a little while,” in the wake of her breakup, admitting that she’s still in communication with Robert and his three sons. 

“Fortunately, the conversations with the kids haven’t stopped, which is such a weird place to be in, but when I got into a relationship with Robert, I also got into a relationship with his kids, and I vowed to always show up, always be there, and I was not gonna be another disappointment for them, because they’ve had a lot,” Chrisley explained. “And I’m going to keep that promise. When they call, I’m going to answer. If they need me to show up, I will be there.”

Chrisley is currently helping raise her younger siblings, Grayson, 18, and Chloe, 12, as their parents, Todd, 56, and Julie, 52, remain in prison.
