Parker rose to fame on Chrisley Knows Best before Buckhead Shore debut Fri 5 August 2022 09:43

Chrisley Knows Best star Parker Lipman often shows up as Chase’s friend on The USA Network series. Several viewers are wondering who he is, but the truth is, he’s bringing his bubbly personality to another reality show.

Parker is best known for appearing on MTV’s Buckhead Shore, which features the goings-on of a tight-knit group of friends, lovers and exes as they set off on their annual summer getaway. He is usually at the forefront of cameras.

As two reality TV worlds collide, Parker Lipman and Chase Chrisley have been buddies for years. So when he appeared on Chrisley Knows Best, fans instantly recognised him and needed clarity on exactly how they know that face.

Meet Parker on Chrisley Knows Best

Parker occasionally appears on Chrisley Knows Best as Chase’s friend. He was born to his parents William “Bill” Lipman and Carol McLeroy, and is now known for taking part in an MTV reality show, which began in June 2022.

Born in Atlanta, the reality TV personality often played pranks on Chris, and vice versa, when The USA Network series began back in 2014. They were last pictured together on social media in 2017 and are thought to have drifted.

When the Chrisleys moved to Nashville, Parker and Chase did not appear to see each other as much, but there were some memorable scenes between them. This included the two going to a fertility clinic to see if they can earn money.
