While the whole Chrisley fam serves up their unique Southern spin,
it's Grayson who's spent almost half his life in front of the cameras. Think puberty was hard as
a normie? Try doing it with a dad like Todd, who keeps a close eye on those risky Instagram DMs.
"Well welcome to life as a Chrisley teenager. We all had to go through it."
Grayson may have made his TV debut on "Chrisley Knows Best" as a little boy,
but these days he's a full-fledged teen. And with that comes some major milestones,
like finally getting his braces off! Fans watched him celebrate with his big sis, Savannah,
brother Chase, and dad, Todd — with a candy-filled milkshake. As he described it,
"[It's] all the things I couldn't eat when I had braces."
"You get a good-lookin' girl to marry you, you're gonna thank Dr. Kim."
"That's right."
Grayson hit another high school high when he went to his first Homecoming. And of course, his family
was even more excited than he was. Both Todd and mom, Julie, posted photos, with Todd writing:
"His first homecoming and we are so blessed
and grateful that God chose us to parent this wonderful young man."
Even Savannah and Chase commemorated the event on Instagram, with Savannah declaring,
"I CAN'T BELIEVE GRAYSON IS GOING TO HOMECOMING. It’s our job to now embarrass him."
It might be hard for some of us to picture Grayson behind the wheel of a car — especially
since we were first introduced to him when he was still riding in a car seat. But these days,
he's learning to drive a brand new truck. And, of course, Todd couldn't help but bring the drama to
the driving lessons. Even way back when it all started with a golf cart and a dream.
In September 2021, Todd took it upon himself to deck out Grayson's truck in safety magnets,
construction flags, and a cage for Grayson's cellphone. The aspiring legal driver noted,
"Dad managed to take the most amazing car on the planet and just ruin it.
It's got stickers, it's got magnets saying 'Stay back.' He's so extra."
"What have you done to my truck?" "I made some safety modifications."
Savannah also got into the fun when it came to teaching her little bro how to drive.
In May 2021, she posted a photo, writing,
"Please…don't kill us! I doubt you could be a worse driver than me though."
For a rookie, Grayson looks totally at home finally sitting in the driver's seat!
Much of the Chrisley family is very close with one another. But it's clear that Grayson has an
extra-special bond with big sis, Savannah. While fans of the show often see Grayson spend time with
his siblings, when it comes to Instagram, his bond with his sister is more than clear. In July 2016,
he posted a snap of Savannah, adding a word of encouragement, with:
"I love you [Savannah] you are the prettiest girl ever and already are the winner in my heart."
Then in July 2020, he posted a selfie of the pair, writing,
"She's been my best friend my whole life and I am glad for that."
Grayson even supports his sister's business by promoting her beauty line,
Sassy by Savannah, on his page. And for her part, it appears that Savannah feels
the same way about her favorite "GrayBug." For Grayson's 15th birthday in May 2021, she shared,
"I am so proud of you and the young man that you are becoming. […] Thank you for being the kindest,
most loving brother in the world! Your heart is one of a kind!"
Some of the older Chrisley siblings may have enjoyed some headline-making romances,
but Grayson's blossoming love life has made for good TV. Fans got to watch it
play out from the start when a pre-teen Grayson first told his overprotective dad on Season 7:
"I may or may not have a girlfriend."
Later that season, Grayson took some advice from Chase and was seen, quote,
"spittin' game" to multiple girls. He even told Julie,
"I'm keeping my options open, Mama. I'm in my prime, I can't waste this."
That strategy, however, apparently backfired for the young Romeo. And he eventually sought
out his sister, who made it clear that he has to communicate well, and with respect.
"If there's one thing that I've learned from Daddy,
it's that you've gotta strike when the iron's hot. And right now, your iron's hot."
While it's unclear if Grayson is making it official with any one girl these days,
his homecoming date shared a few snaps on Instagram, calling him the, quote,
"best person" and adding a red heart emoji. When Grayson isn't trying to up his dating game,
learning to drive, or, y'know, starring on a reality show, it appears he's very into sports.
The high schooler is on a baseball team and is often seen going to and from practice on the show.
In an Instagram post from July 2020, Grayson showed off his pitching skills, writing,
"That moment when you know it's gonna be smoke."
That Fall, he shared two more shots on the pitching mound, captioning them:
"You know, just that everyday feel of killing it on the field."
"Yes! That's a Chrisley right there."
Dad Todd seems more than supportive of his son kicking around the dugout these days.
But as fans remember, Todd has been encouraging Grayson from the very beginning.
Way back when on the show, Todd attempted to coach a baseball team for a much
younger Grayson — despite his total lack of knowledge of the sport.
But, along with baseball, Grayson appears to enjoy hitting the green as well.
Chase has posted photo evidence of this, and so has their oldest brother,
Kyle. We have a sneaking suspicion that Grayson just may become the star athlete of the family.
Loyal fans of the show know that out of all of Todd Chrisley's kids,
Grayson seems to be the clear favorite. And that's including obvious frontrunner Savannah, and the
excruciatingly sweet and adorable Chloe. Todd explained it best when he once joked on the show,
"Grayson actually is a good kid. He's an amazing kid. He's the love of my life now
that I know Savannah is a car thief. I love Grayson more than I do her."
"Do your lip. There goes puberty."
But even so, Grayson has managed to rub his dad the wrong way on occasion. He is a teenager, after
all. For example, he once got caught sneaking out to a party. But he later admitted to his parents,
"I got there and I just didn't want to be
there because they were doing stuff I didn't want to do."
While Todd and Julie were initially upset,
they were also glad that Grayson was able to make the right decision.
But while Todd may famously joke about who his favorite kid really is on the show,
he's gotten a little emotional in his
Instagram posts about his kids. In one for Grayson's 15th birthday, Todd wrote,
"He's grown into a wonderful, kind,
caring, compassionate young man. […] There just aren't words to explain how much you mean to me."
Then, in another post of his assumed favorite kid, Todd shared,
"His compassion for others is beyond reproach. [Grayson] you make us proud with every breath."
Grayson may be perfectly comfortable sharing a whole lot of his life on "Chrisley Knows
Best," but it appears that for him, social media is a trickier platform.
While he officially joined Instagram in 2016 at 10 years old, it's clear from his
bio that it was dutifully monitored by his parents. The description even still reads,
"This account is run jointly by Grayson and [Todd], Grayson's dad."
Perhaps because of the show's success, Todd also decided to create a Twitter account for Grayson
in 2013. But the family made it known in that bio too that it wasn't run by Grayson himself.
Now that little G is a teenager, it's safe to assume he's doing most of the posting on his own.
It seems he originally had to create his account because of fake accounts claiming to be him.
Grayson and Todd explained in a 2016 post,
"We have set this account up to stop all the folks claiming to be the Real Grayson."
But perhaps Todd and Julie were cautious about social media for a reason.
On an episode of the show, Todd,
Julie, and Chase found some inappropriate photos in Grayson's DMs. Todd pointed out,
"He didn't ask for it. But he did respond […] with a comment: heart emoji eyes."
Probably expressing exactly what every parent thinks about their kids being online these days,
that's when Julie confessed,
"This is exactly why I didn't want him having social media in the first place."
Grayson may be growing into a great kid who's happily going through the
usual teenage milestones, but his life has been much different from the average high schooler.
Not many students can say they've been starring on a hit reality TV show for most of their lives,
but Grayson has been doing it since he was 8 years old. And as part of the
famous Chrisley family, he easily found success in showbiz at a very young age.
"You know your body's changing, you know things are happening."
"This is so awkward."
Not only has Grayson starred on "Chrisley Knows Best" since 2014, but he's also gone on to make
some pretty high-profile appearances with his family. There was the Chrisley virtual debut
on "The At-Home Variety Show Featuring Seth MacFarlane" in May 2020. And let's not forget
Grayson and Todd once competed alongside a host of other stars and their kids,
on the game show "Big Star Little Star." Sheesh, this kid has been busy!
While all of that does sound pretty amazing for just about anyone in the reality TV world,
being famous has certainly had its hardships. Grayson has had to witness his parents make
headlines with charges for tax fraud, as well as hearing his older half-siblings,
Lindsie and Kyle, report shocking things to the media about Todd, amid some very bitter feuds.
But despite all the drama, it appears that Grayson has kept things on the up
and up for himself. That can't be easy, especially with the cameras rolling.
But no matter what comes his way, we all know his family has his back, for life.
"You are our son. And we are proud of you from the moment that you took your first breath,
and I'll be proud of you 'til the day I take my last one."
