SEASON after season, the cameras capture several happenings with Todd Chrisley and his famous family for episodes of their eponymous reality television show.
Chrisley Knows Best features Todd, his wife Julie, and their brood of children together, which is why TV fans are curious to know why his oldest son Kyle is not on the show.

What happened to Kyle Chrisley?
In March 2014, Chrisley Knows Best kicked off its first season on the USA Network.
The reality program starred the family’s patriarch Todd, matriarch Julie, and all five of their children.
Todd’s two eldest children from his first marriage to Teresa Terry, Kyle and Lindsie, were also a part of the first season.
However, Kyle did not appear after season one, which led fans to wonder about his circumstances.
Following the conclusion of the first edition of Chrisley Knows Best, it appeared that Kyle and Todd fell out and their family feud made headlines.
In November 2014, Kyle told his side of the story during an interview with the Daily Mail.
Todd’s oldest son told the publication: “My dad showed no interest in Chloe at all until the show.
“Until it was pointed out that having a mixed race child and getting her and all that would be good for his demographic, he didn’t want to see her before then.
“He said he wanted nothing to do with her. This show has been nothing but bad for me.”
He added: “At this point, he’s ruined me and he’s ruined the other three kids he’s had who are spoiled.”
“But I’m not taking a chance on him ruining my daughter.
“I’m not taking a chance on him being part of my daughter’s life and with Todd Chrisley everything is extreme – it’s all or nothing. So it has to be nothing.”
Although the father-son duo had a public falling out after the first season, it appears Kyle (pictured left) and Todd (pictured right) have been on good terms since 2019
In August 2019, the father-son pair reconciled and were seen together on several occasions.
Regarding their reunion, Kyle posted a message to his Facebook followers and wrote: “I know the interview I did bashing my dad OVER A YEAR AGO is being shared on social media.
“Honestly, I’m tired of it. You guys don’t have the facts and I need to set the record straight once and for all.
“Everything I said in my interview was a lie. These allegations against my dad are all LIES!”
Is Kyle married and does he have kids?
On February 14, 2021, Kyle proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Ashleigh Nelson.
At the time, a source told The Celeb Report: “He asked her at their house. He surprised her with the ring. She thinks it’s gorgeous.
“Getting married is something they knew they would do the whole time they’ve been together.
“They’ve been living together for two years and he is amazing with her two children.
The insider shared: “They are both 30 and just super ready to start their lives together ‘officially.’ They are so excited for this next chapter.
Regarding the mended relationship between Kyle, Todd, and the rest of the Chrisleys: “Since he’s been clean, they have a great relationship and they never want to leave them.”
On March 30, 2021, Kyle and Ashleigh tied the knot in a small Florida wedding ceremony.
Prior to his marriage to Ashleigh, Kyle was married once before to Alexus Whilby.
With his second marriage to Ashleigh, Kyle brings one child – a daughter named Chloe – from his previous relationship with Angela Victoria Johnson.
Kyle is also the stepfather of Ashleigh’s two children from a previous relationship as well, she is the mother of one son and one daughter.
