The Relationship Journey of Chase Chrisley and Jodi Laine Fournerat
Chase Chrisley is committed to his girlfriend Jodi Laine Fournerat, even with his family’s concerns.
Fans got a glimpse into Chase’s relationship with Jodi when The Chrisleys: Back to Reality premiered on Lifetime in September 2025. When Chase discussed the possibility of proposing to Jodi during the show, it was clear that Julie Chrisley was not supportive. At one point, Savannah Chrisley even mentioned she would “object” to their wedding.
“Just because I am in prison does not mean that my role as a mother ceases,” Julie stated in a phone call from prison, featured in the fourth episode of the docuseries. “Yes, my actions are very much restricted, but at my core, I am still a mother to these children.”
She commented, “When he shared that he wanted to marry Jodi, I was far from excited. I don’t know her, so I can’t support my son marrying someone I don’t even know.”
Chase introduced Jodi to the public in November 2023, just months after ending his engagement with ex-fiancée Emmy Medders.
“My mom advises me not to rush anything. She wants me to be patient, but it’s been over two years. Therefore, I don’t feel like I’m hurrying,” Chase mentioned in the docuseries concerning his potential proposal. “I think a lot of it stems from the fact that my mom doesn’t want to miss out. But there’s nothing we can do about it at this moment.”
