Todd and Julie Chrisley to begin their prison sentences in January

Todd and Julie Chrisley have been ordered to report to their respective prisons in January.

The “Chrisley Knows Best” stars — who were convicted of fraud and tax crimes in June — will be heading to Florida to spend their time behind bars, according to People.

Todd, who was sentenced to 12 years in federal custody, will turn himself into the Federal Prison Camp Pensacola, a minimum-security facility, on Jan. 17.

On the other hand, Julie will spend her seven-year sentence about two hours away from her husband at the Federal Correctional Institution Marianna. It is considered a “medium security federal correctional institution with an adjacent minimum security satellite camp,” per the prison’s website.

In addition to their sentences, Todd, 53, and Julie, 49, were also ordered to serve 16 months of probation following their release from prison.

In June, the reality stars were found guilty of conspiracy to defraud banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans. The Chrisleys were also convicted of several tax crimes, including trying to defraud the IRS.

Throughout the trial, Todd and Julie maintained their innocence and subsequently filed to appeal their sentencing.

“Their trial was marred by serious and repeated errors, including the government lying to jurors about what taxes the couple paid,” the pair’s attorney, Alex Little, told People last month.

“Based on these issues, we are optimistic about the road ahead.”

Following their sentencing, their family show “Chrisley Knows Best” was canceled.

While the reality TV stars are waiting to see how their appeal pans out, they are living each day like it’s their last before they have to turn themselves in.

“Age is just a number, and since we don’t know our death date, we have to live every day as if it’s our last,” Julie said in “Chrisley Confessions,” reading a quote from author Priscilla Shirer.

“Yesterday doesn’t matter. Today is what we have,” her husband added. “Tomorrow belongs to God because we’re not promised tomorrow.”

The couple share sons Chase, 26, and Grayson, 16, and daughter Savannah, 25. Todd also fathers two kids, Lindsie, 33, and Kyle, 31, with his ex-wife, Teresa Terry.

Todd and Julie have also adopted Chloe, 10, whose biological mother, Angela Johnson, is now trying to regain custody of her daughter after the couple was sentenced to prison.
