Earlier in 2025, his parents were pardoned by President Donald Trump following their own legal battles. Todd and Julie were convicted in June 2022 on federal bank fraud and tax evasion charges and sentenced in 2023. Todd, 56, received a 12-year prison sentence, while Julie, 52, was sentenced to seven years.
Both were pardoned on May 27 and released from prison the following day.
"President Trump recognized what we've argued from the beginning: Todd and Julie were targeted because of their conservative values and high profile," their attorney Alex Little said at the time. "Their prosecution was tainted by multiple constitutional violations and political bias."
Kyle is married to Ashleigh Nelson, and the couple shares two children.
