When it comes to reality television, few families have delivered as many laughs, shocks, and heartfelt moments as the Chrisleys of Chrisley Knows Best. But in the latest eyebrow-raising twist,

the spotlight has turned to none other than the family matriarch herself, Nanny Faye Chrisley. At 79 years old, Nanny Faye has long been a fan favorite for her sassy one-liners, fearless personality,

and ability to stir up trouble in the most endearing ways. Now, however, she’s making headlines for an unexpected reason: her unabashed attraction to younger men—particularly those around the same age as her grandson, Chase Chrisley.

Yes, you read that right. Nanny Faye, never one to shy away from humor or honesty, recently revealed that she has her eye on men in their late twenties. The revelation came during a lighthearted yet surprising exchange caught on camera, and it instantly set the Chrisley fandom abuzz.

A Feisty Grandma with No Filter

The moment unfolded in the latest episode of Chrisley Knows Best. Todd and Chase were hard at work on renovations at the family’s new home when they FaceTimed Nanny Faye. As she chatted casually, her attention shifted to one of the young men working alongside Chase on drywall. Without hesitation, Faye asked about him, commenting on his looks and charm.

Todd, never one to let such comments pass without a quip, quickly reminded her that the worker was young enough to be her grandson. But Nanny Faye wasn’t fazed. With her trademark grin, she shot back that just because he could be her grandson didn’t mean he was. The playful yet shocking exchange left both Todd and Chase red-faced—and fans couldn’t get enough.

Fans React: “Nanny Faye Cracks Me Up!”

Within hours of the episode airing, social media lit up with reactions.

“Nanny Faye is funny as hell. She says what she wants and doesn’t care who hears it!” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Another added: “This woman is a national treasure. If she wants a 28-year-old boyfriend, let her have one!”

The moment not only had viewers laughing, but it also reminded fans why Chrisley Knows Best has remained such a beloved show despite the family’s many ups and downs. Nanny Faye’s bold spirit, even in the face of life’s challenges, continues to steal the spotlight.

A Life Filled with Challenges

While the comment may have been lighthearted, it comes at a time when the Chrisley family has been enduring major struggles. Todd and Julie Chrisley, Savannah and Chase’s parents, are currently serving prison sentences. Savannah has stepped up in their absence, caring for her younger siblings. And through it all, Nanny Faye has remained a steady, fiery presence.

The beloved matriarch also revealed in 2022 that she had been diagnosed with bladder cancer, a private battle the family carried quietly until Todd shared the news. Though updates on her health have been limited, Nanny Faye has made occasional public appearances at family milestones, including Chase’s on-again, off-again engagement to Emmy Medders. Her resilience has made her even more beloved to viewers.

Against that backdrop, her playful flirtation with younger men feels less like a scandal and more like a refreshing reminder: Nanny Faye is determined to keep living life to the fullest.

“She Just Wants to Have Fun”

According to insiders, the Chrisley grandmother’s interest in younger men isn’t new—it’s just the first time she’s been so open about it on national television. Sources say the whole thing began when Savannah playfully encouraged Nanny Faye to try a dating app.

“She thought it would just be for laughs,” Savannah revealed during her Unlocked podcast. “But Nanny actually started swiping on men in their twenties and thirties. I was like, ‘Nanny, he’s 27, has an eyebrow piercing, and probably doesn’t know who Elvis is!’ But she just laughed and said, ‘Well, he’s legal and he’s cute. Why not?’”

Savannah admitted she couldn’t help but laugh at her grandmother’s confidence, describing her as “a cougar with charm.”

Chase’s Reaction: Embarrassed But Proud

If anyone feels conflicted about the situation, it’s Chase Chrisley.

“She says she wants someone my age, and honestly, that’s a little weird,” he confessed during an Instagram Live. “It’s one thing when she jokes about George Strait or Sam Elliott. But when she’s asking if any of my golf buddies are single? That’s where I draw the line.”

Despite his initial embarrassment, Chase admitted that he admires his grandmother’s boldness. “Look, she’s Nanny Faye. If anyone deserves to have some fun, it’s her. She’s been through so much. As long as she’s happy, that’s what matters. Just don’t expect me to double date with her—that’s never happening.”

Todd Chrisley Reacts from Prison

Even Todd Chrisley, who remains incarcerated, has reportedly weighed in on his mother’s antics.

“Absolutely not,” he allegedly said during a phone call with Savannah. “This family is not going to turn into some Real Housewives storyline where my mama runs around dating frat boys.”

However, Todd softened his stance by admitting that if Nanny Faye found someone who treated her with respect, he would support it. “But,” he added with his signature humor, “they better not be asking me for money when I get home.”

Julie Chrisley, meanwhile, has taken a gentler approach. She reportedly told Savannah that she’s glad Nanny is finding joy and simply advised her to be cautious about anyone taking advantage of her.

Social Media Wants a Spin-Off

Fans are now clamoring for a spin-off reality show focused entirely on Nanny Faye’s adventures in dating.

“Forget Chrisley Knows Best. I’d watch Nanny Faye Knows Best any day,” one fan commented.

Another suggested the perfect dating profile bio for her: “Cougar with charm seeks young man with stamina. Must love bingo, bourbon, and backgammon.”

The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans celebrating her zest for life.

Age Is Just a Number

For Nanny Faye, this isn’t just about finding romance. It’s about proving that age should never limit joy, confidence, or adventure.

“She told me, ‘If men can date women forty years younger, why can’t I have a little fun?’” Savannah revealed. “And honestly, she’s right. Nanny’s always done things her way, and that’s not changing anytime soon.”

Indeed, since embracing her flirtatious new “era,” Nanny Faye has been glowing. Family members note that she’s been dressing up more often, experimenting with bold lipstick shades, and even asking her grandson Grayson for help curating a playlist filled with Post Malone and modern hits.

“She literally asked me if Post Malone would take her on a date,” Grayson joked in a TikTok. “I told her she’d break the internet.”

What’s Next for Nanny Faye?

While no one knows if Nanny Faye’s quest for a younger beau will lead to a lasting relationship, one thing is certain: she’s not slowing down anytime soon.

“She told me she wants someone who can open a pickle jar and make her laugh,” Savannah said. “If that’s not goals, I don’t know what is.”

And for her fans, whether Nanny Faye finds love with a younger man or simply continues to entertain with her outrageous humor, the message is clear: she’s embracing life with courage, sass, and unapologetic joy.
