For the Chrisley family, there are birthdays—and then there are Nanny Faye birthdays. And this year, Chase Chrisley made sure the beloved matriarch of Chrisley Knows Best

was celebrated not just as a grandmother, but as the undeniable legend fans have adored for years. Taking to Instagram, Chase revealed that the day marked a truly special milestone:

the birthday of his iconic grandmother, Nanny Faye Chrisley. What followed was more than a simple birthday message—it was a heartfelt, humorous, and deeply emotional tribute

that perfectly captured the spirit of a woman who has long been the heart and soul of the Chrisley clan.

Honoring a True Original

Born on September 2, 1943, Nanny Faye officially turned 79 this year—though, as she famously insists, legends don’t reveal their stats. The widow of the late Gene Raymond Chrisley, who passed away in 2012, Nanny Faye raised three children and later became one of reality television’s most beloved personalities thanks to her fearless honesty, mischievous humor, and unapologetic love of life.

For fans of Chrisley Knows Best, Nanny Faye is more than a supporting character. She’s a scene-stealer, a truth-teller, and often the wild card who keeps everyone on their toes. And no one understands her magic quite like Chase.

Chase’s Touching Instagram Tribute

Chase shared a series of photos that instantly sent fans into celebration mode. Two of the images showed Chase standing proudly beside his grandmother, their bond evident in every smile. The third photo focused solely on Nanny Faye—and it was pure icon energy.

Dressed in a powder-pink outfit, accessorized with a double pearl bracelet, oversized sunglasses, and a dramatic wide-brimmed sun hat, Nanny Faye posed confidently with a large cigar in hand. It was a snapshot that perfectly summed her up: glamorous, bold, and entirely unbothered.

Alongside the photos, Chase penned a caption that struck a perfect balance between humor and love:

“Happy birthday to the legend herself. Have yourself a day. I love you. Hope you win big and throw some back tonight. Love you, Nanny.”

Simple. Personal. And unmistakably Chase.

A Bond Fans Can’t Get Enough Of

Longtime viewers know that Chase and Nanny Faye share a uniquely close relationship. Their on-screen antics—often involving gambling schemes, rule-breaking, and mutual encouragement of questionable decisions—have become some of the show’s most memorable moments.

Fans have long called for a spin-off centered entirely on the duo, convinced that a Chase-and-Nanny series would be television gold. Their chemistry is effortless, rooted in genuine affection and shared mischief.

As one fan once put it: “They don’t just steal scenes—they make the show.”

When the Family Agrees on One Thing

If there’s one truth the Chrisley family can all agree on—regardless of drama, disagreements, or ongoing feuds—it’s this: Nanny Faye’s birthday is sacred.

In the Chrisley household, her special day is treated less like a personal milestone and more like a national holiday. And according to Chase, this year was no exception.

Determined to celebrate her “another fabulous age” in unforgettable style, Chase set out to plan a birthday worthy of her legacy. His vision? A party that was equal parts glamorous, chaotic, and unmistakably Nanny Faye.

The Grand (and Slightly Chaotic) Plan

Chase had been planning the celebration for weeks—by his own logic, that meant occasionally texting someone else to help organize it and then proudly claiming full credit. He envisioned a backyard blowout: fairy lights, music, drama, and just enough chaos to make it memorable.

Savannah Chrisley, ever the voice of reason, attempted to intervene.

“She wants a quiet dinner,” Savannah reminded him during a FaceTime call.

Chase wasn’t buying it.

“She’s lying,” he insisted. “Nanny lives for drama. Quiet dinners are for people who go to bed at 7 p.m.”

Savannah rolled her eyes—but smiled. Deep down, she knew he was right.

Nanny Faye Prepares Like a Star

Unbeknownst to the planners, Nanny Faye had plans of her own. Standing before her closet like a performer preparing for a red-carpet event, she weighed her options carefully.

“I’m not wearing anything that makes me look old,” she declared—whether to herself or the cat in the room remained unclear.

She sifted through sparkly tops, floral cardigans, a bedazzled tracksuit reserved for casino trips, and even a neon pink pantsuit from one particularly bold chapter. In the end, she chose a glittery gold blouse paired with black slacks—elegant, confident, and undeniably fabulous.

The Party Begins

The celebration unfolded in the Chrisley backyard, transformed into a festive wonderland. Fairy lights twinkled overhead. A massive banner read: “Happy Birthday to the Legend, Nanny Faye.” A DJ—much to Savannah’s objections—set the tone.

Guests arrived in waves: family, friends, neighbors pretending not to be curious but clearly thrilled to be there. Todd Chrisley arrived fashionably late, wearing what he claimed was “casual,” though it suspiciously resembled a tailored suit.

Julie, calm as ever, reminded him gently: “It’s Nanny’s day. Don’t start anything.”

Todd clutched his chest dramatically. “Me? Never.”

A Legendary Entrance

All chatter stopped when Nanny Faye made her entrance.

She stepped onto the patio like she was walking a runway, pausing to wave as if paparazzi surrounded her. “Look at my people!” she exclaimed. “All here to celebrate me!”

Applause erupted. Even Todd cracked a genuine smile.

Savannah hugged her tightly. “Nanny, you look amazing.”

“I know, darling,” Nanny replied. “I didn’t live this long to look busted.”

Chase Takes the Mic

Eventually, Chase seized the microphone—after an ear-piercing screech—and launched into a speech that left few dry eyes.

“Today we celebrate a woman of strength, wisdom, and style,” he began. “A woman who survived chaos—some of it caused by us—and still came out fabulous.”

He called her his best friend, his partner in crime, and the woman who taught him that life is short and casinos are important.

“I love you more than you’ll ever know,” he concluded. “Happy birthday, Nanny Faye.”

Nanny kissed his cheeks and whispered, “You’re my baby forever.”

The Ultimate Surprise

Just when everyone thought the night had peaked, Chase unveiled the final surprise: a custom red mobility scooter decked out with chrome details and a tiny horn.

“My own hot rod!” Nanny gasped.

She hopped on immediately, honking the horn and spinning in circles. “This is better than the casino!”

Chaos ensued—but Nanny was in heaven.

A Quiet Moment That Said It All

Later, as the music softened and the lights glowed gently overhead, Chase and Nanny sat together.

“You really made me feel special,” she said softly.

“You’re timeless,” Chase replied.

And in that moment—between laughter, love, and legacy—it was clear: Nanny Faye isn’t just a star of Chrisley Knows Best. She’s the heart of it.

And Chase? He made sure the world knew it.
