Savannah Chrisley is now dating Robert Shiver – the former college football player who survived a murder-for-hire plot

Savannah Chrisley has a new man in her life, who is going through a horrific ordeal with his ex.

The 26-year-old reality star is now dating Robert Shiver, 38, a former college football player whose wife Lindsay Shiver was arrested for hiring a hitman to kill him.

However, it is not clear how and when Chrisley and Shiver met, or when they started dating PeopleAccording to sources, they are dating.

Shiver was a former college football long snapper for Auburn University who met his wife at his alma mater when she was a cheerleader.

He played as a long snapper for Auburn from 2006 to 2009, and although he was not drafted by an NFL team, he was signed as a free agent before the 2009 season.

However, he was not signed by the team and released, as he transitioned to a career in insurance, working for Senior Life Insurance Company in Thomasville, Georgia.

Robert, the son of former Flowers Foods CEO Allen Shriver, married Lindsay in 2010 and they share three sons: Grayson, 11, Landon, 10, and Rhett, 4.

The couple was in the middle of divorce proceedings and a nasty custody battle when the murder-for-hire plot came to light.

Lindsay had reportedly been seeing Terrance Bethel for some time, and when Robert learned of the affair, he initiated divorce proceedings and locked her out of their home and his family’s private jet.

Lindsay also filed a counterclaim that Robert had been abusive during their marriage, when the plot came to light.

Police were investigating a burglary at Grabbers, a popular watering hole in Great Guana Cay where Bethel had worked.

Police asked Grabbers employees to turn over their phones to investigate the burglary, when they discovered messages between Lindsay, Bethel and potential hitman Faron Newbold discussing Robert being murdered.

She reportedly tearfully confessed to sending photos of Robert to Newbold and telling him to kill her husband.

At the time, Robert was visiting his family’s estate in nearby Baker’s Bay before his wife was arrested.

A Superior Court judge set Lindsay’s bail at $100,000, which was posted and she was released. Although there were reports that Robert paid the bail, these have since been debunked.

Lindsay is expected to remain in the Bahamas while the case continues and will be forced to surrender her passport until her indictment in October.

Robert is currently seeking sole custody of his three children, while Lindsay awaits arraignment in the Bahamas.

As for Savannah Chrisley, she is coming off a two-year engagement to Nic Kerdiles that ended in 2020.

She first came into the public eye with the reality series Chrisley Knows Best, as the eldest daughter of Todd and Julie Chrisley.

Her parents were indicted by the Georgia Department of Revenue in August 2019 on multiple charges of tax evasion and bank fraud.

While they settled the Georgia case, they still faced federal tax evasion charges, with Todd and Julie both found guilty, Todd sentenced to 12 years in prison and Julie sentenced to seven years.

Following their incarceration, Savannah became the primary caregiver for her 16-year-old brother Grayson and 10-year-old niece Chloe, with Savannah admitting in a May episode of her podcast Unlocked With Savannah Chrisley that this made her question whether she wanted children of her own.

“I’m in that anger part of sadness right now. I’m just mad at everything. And also, after we adopted the children. I say, ‘Okay. Do I actually want children? Must I? You know, seeing how much this whole thing has affected us?” Savannah admitted.

Still, she made it clear that she is not angry about having to take care of her brother and niece after her parents are locked up.

‘I don’t want anyone to take what I said out of context. “I love these two kids more than life itself,” she said.

“They are my everything,” she said. ‘We have so much fun together. “I try to have as much fun as possible,” she added.

She will next be seen in the Fox reality series Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, the second season of which debuts on September 25.
