Julie Chrisley of the reality TV show Chrisley Knows Best will mark her 51st birthday behind bars.
The star – who is reportedly thinking of divorcing her husband Todd, 54, following their fraud convictions – will receive a visit from family on her birthday, according to a source who spoke to People.
The insider claimed Julie will receive a visit from her daughters Savannah, 26, and Chloe, 11, as well as her son Grayson, 17.
‘Julie is strong and optimistic and certainly doesn’t want to be behind bars for her birthday,’ her attorney Alex Little of Burr & Forman LLP told the outlet.
‘But she’s hopeful that with the appeal, this will be the last birthday that she does spend on bars.’
Both Todd and Julie are appealing their convictions with a oral arguments scheduled in April.
Julie Chrisley is looking forward to a visit from family for her 51st birthday Tuesday at the federal prison where she is serving her five year fraud sentence
The star is serving a five year sentence at the Federal Medical Center Lexington in Kentucky, a minimum security facility, after being convicted on 12 counts of tax evasion, bank and wire fraud in June 2022.
She has been housed at the facility since January 17, 2023.
Savannah has had custody of her younger siblings since her parents were incarcerated.
According to Savannah, who runs a real estate company in Nashville with her brother Chase, 27, having the hearing scheduled is a good sign.
‘Only about 6 percent of cases that are submitted for oral arguments get accepted. So this is huge news,’ she explained in an Instagram video.
‘We get to go and argue why mom and dad should be home. So, God is good.’
During their time behind bars, Savannah said both her parents have faced challenges.

Todd has complained of the living conditions at the Federal Prison Camp Pensacola in Florida, and has claimed guards there have targeted him for speaking out.
As for Julie, ‘she’s just staying busy,’ according to her daughter.
‘You know, like, she’s trying to do anything and everything, take classes, [be] first at bat — everything known to man that she can do, she does,’ Savannah told listeners to her Unlocked podcast in May 2023.
‘And you know my mom. Like, she walks in a room, if something needs to be done, she just starts doing it,’ the realtor explained. ‘So she’s trying to stay busy. Her health, she’s trying to focus on that. I think she’s trying to shield us from a lot of things. Because that’s my mom. That’s who she is.’
