Lindsie Chrisley Takes 365-Day Romance Break for Real

Sometimes the healthiest move isn’t finding someone new—it’s stepping back entirely. That’s the lane Lindsie Chrisley is in right now. The 36-year-old podcast host announced on the Monday, May 18 episode of her“Southern Tea”podcast that she’s committing to a full year of celibacy, and she means business. No dating, no romantic conversations with men, no exceptions. She’s even marking it down on a calendar to track the progress.

The timing makes sense when you look at what’s happened recently. Chrisley had been in a relationship with David Landsman that she confirmed publicly in July 2025, but things took a serious turn when she filed a restraining order against him following his arrest over an alleged domestic incident. That kind of relationship upheaval tends to leave marks—emotional ones that don’t heal overnight. Even now, Chrisley admits there are parts of that relationship she’ll miss, acknowledging that Landsman“learned me so fast”and understood her habits and patterns. But missing someone and being ready to move forward are two different things entirely.

This celibacy year comes as Chrisley is working through a lot beyond romance. She’s navigating co-parenting with her ex-husband Will Campbell, whom she was married to from 2012 to 2021. They share a 13-year-old son, Jackson. She’s also been dealing with legal matters—court cases that she’s called“the lowest of lows,”experiences that go beyond anything she faced during her divorce. These aren’t small stressors. They’re the kind of life events that make you realize you need real, focused healing time, not another relationship to distract from the work you’re doing in therapy.

Chrisley didn’t start dating seriously until she was 33, and now she’s using her 40s differently. Rather than jumping into something new, she’s giving herself permission to sit with her own life for a while. It’s a refreshingly honest approach in a culture that often treats singleness like a problem that needs solving. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit you need time alone—and then actually take it.
