Savannah Chrisley has a new man in her life, who is coming off 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.
It isn’t clear how or when Chrisley and Shiver met, or when they started dating, though People‘s sources reveal they’re 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 from 2006 to 2009 for Auburn, and while he wasn’t drafted by an NFL team, he was signed as a free agent before the 2009 season.
However, he wasn’t signed by the team and released, as he pivoted 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 were going through divorce proceedings and a nasty custody battle when the murder-for-hire plot was uncovered.
Lindsay had reportedly been hooking up with Terrance Bethel for quite some time, and when Robert learned of the affair, he started divorce proceedings and cut her off from their home and his family’s private jet.
Lindsay also filed a counter-claim that Robert was abusive during their marriage, when the plot was uncovered.
Police were investigating a break-in 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 break-in, when they discovered messages between Lindsay, Bethel and prospective hitman Faron Newbold, discussing having Robert killed.
She reportedly tearfully confessed to sending photos of Robert to Newbold and instructing him to kill her husband.
At the time, Robert was visiting his family’s property in nearby Baker’s Bay before his wife was arrested.
A Superior Court judge set Lindsay’s bail at $100,000, which was paid and she was released, and while there were reports that Robert paid the bail, they have since been debunked.
Lindsay is expected to remain in the Bahamas while the case is ongoing, and will be forced to surrender her passport until the indictment in October.
Robert is currently pursuing sole custody of his three children while Lindsay awaits her arraignment in the Bahamas.
As for Savannah Chrisley, she is coming off a two-year engagement with Nic Kerdiles that ended in 2020.
She will next be seen on the Fox reality series Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, with the second season debuting September 25.
