Fans of Chrisley Knows Best were left stunned after Chase Chrisley’s highly anticipated proposal to girlfriend Jodi Laine Fournerat reportedly didn’t go as planned.

Now, sources close to the Chrisley family are revealing the explosive truth: Todd Chrisley’s reaction to his son’s romantic misstep is far more complicated than anyone could have imagined.

According to insiders, Todd, the self-proclaimed patriarch of the Chrisley clan, was blindsided by the fallout of Chase’s proposal. “Todd has always been vocal about family values, loyalty

, and planning every detail to perfection,” the source reveals. “He really wanted to see Chase take this step successfully. The failed proposal hit him hard—he’s proud of his son, but he’s also disappointed that things didn’t go as he envisioned.”

Friends of the family say Todd has been quietly wrestling with a mix of emotions—pride, frustration, and protective concern. On one hand, he’s thrilled that Chase is serious about his relationship with Jodi. On the other, he reportedly worries that the failed proposal could shake his son’s confidence and impact their family dynamic.

For Todd, family milestones are never just personal—they’re public moments, magnified by cameras and fans alike. “Todd cares deeply about how his family presents themselves to the world,” says the insider. “He wants Chase to succeed in love, but he also fears that missteps could be used against the family or reflect poorly on them.”

Despite the tension, sources confirm that Todd has been stepping back, letting Chase and Jodi navigate the aftermath themselves. “He’s trying to balance fatherly advice with giving them space,” the source continues. “He’s protective, but he knows he can’t control everything.”

Meanwhile, fans of the show have been speculating nonstop online about what this failed proposal means for the couple and the Chrisley family. Will Chase try again? How will Jodi react to the disappointment? And more importantly, how will Todd’s feelings influence the next chapter of their love story?

According to those close to the family, Todd has remained private in public interviews, choosing instead to support Chase behind the scenes. “He’s offering advice quietly and keeping a close eye on the situation,” the insider adds. “It’s classic Todd—he’s loving, he’s opinionated, and he always wants the best for his kids, even if that means confronting uncomfortable realities.”

With production of Chrisley Knows Best rumored to capture some of the drama surrounding the proposal, fans may soon see Todd’s reaction—and Chase and Jodi’s next steps—play out on screen. One thing is clear: in the Chrisley household, family, love, and drama are never far apart, and this latest twist is proving that even the most carefully planned moments don’t always go as intended.
