“She sends the picture that was just sent to her, when she found out he was there and the kids were home, that’s when she was like, ‘kill him,'” Bethel said.
“Whenever she gets into an argument with him, and she tells me about it, of course I’m livid about it. But planning to murder him …,” he added with a laugh. “No.”
Bethel said his and Shiver’s texts were just them “venting to each other.”
“Us loving each other was not a secret,” he told ABC News. “She’s my best friend still. We continue to care about each other, no matter what, which also kind of makes it hard going through this case.”
According to ABC News, Shiver had been granted permission to leave the Bahamas by a judge as she waits for her trial in March, and has been living with her parents in Alabama.

In July 2023, Shiver was arrested and charged in the Bahamas after she allegedly conspired to kill Robert several months after the two filed for divorce in the United States. The Georgia mom was released on a $100,000 bond.
Bethel and Newbold were also charged and were released on bond, but were required to wear ankle monitors.
Local police believe the murder plot was concocted on July 16. However, law enforcement only stumbled upon the alleged plot while searching through Bethel’s cellphone during an unrelated investigation into a bar break-in case in the Bahamas.
Shiver and Robert are in the midst of a contentious divorce with each seeking custody of their three kids. They are also both seeking full use of their $2.5 million Georgia mansion.
In the divorce filing, Robert accused his wife of adultery, something she has denied. For her part, her attorneys have said, “Suddenly, [her] husband is not permitting [his] wife to use the jet or have access to funds.”

In August, body camera footage was released that showed law enforcement responding to a confrontation at Shiver and Robert’s home in Thomasville, Georgia. The argument captured on camera came just days before Shiver was arrested for the alleged murder-for-hire plot of Robert.
“We have filed for divorce, but living in the same house. It’s hell on earth, as you can imagine. Just got super aggressive and that’s why I called immediately, because he’s been physical before and I’m just not doing that,” Shiver told responding officers in the video.
“Woke up this morning, we have travel plans to leave, and he’s insisting that I don’t go,” Shiver continued.
Despite the officer’s recommendation that Shiver and Robert don’t go on vacation together, they still went, and vacationed independently, according to Daily Mail.

While in the Bahamas, police reportedly contacted Robert to inform him about the alleged plot, per the outlet. Robert allegedly described his wife as “manipulating” and theorized the reason behind Shiver’s alleged threat.
“She had an affair with an 18-year-old about a year ago and came to Abaco and snuck him into my house in Abaco,” he claimed, according to Daily Mail. “I found out about it through her Apple Watch and she convinced me that she wants to be a family so we tried to make it work.”
According to Robert, their marriage fell apart after he found he found out about his wife’s relationship with Bethel.
Following Shiver’s alleged plot to kill him, Robert said he was left “in fear of his life,” before he returned to the US with his and Shiver’s kids, per the Daily Mail.
Amid the ongoing case against his estranged wife, Robert, a former Auburn University football player, began dating Savannah Chrisley, who first revealed their romance in September 2023.
