Who Are The Croissants on The Masked Singer?
The honest answer right now: The Croissants haven’t been officially revealed yet, but almost every clue on The Masked Singer Season 14 premiere is screaming Todd and Julie Chrisley to most fans and commentators.
In classic Fox fashion, the show pulled a last-minute twist: the duo were “eliminated,” unmasked… and then their faces were blurred out with question marks, with Nick Cannon teasing that viewers will have to wait until the next episode to see who’s actually under those flaky costumes.
Still, the guessing game rarely feels this straightforward. Between the “upper crust socialites” narrative, the Southern accents, the jailhouse theming, and the talk of being “cancelled” and then miraculously back together, the puzzle pieces fit a very specific couple.
Even the panel, who often go for wild, left‑field guesses, quickly narrowed it down to reality TV pairs with scandal, separation, and a chance at redemption in their recent biographies.
The Croissants’ Clues
The Croissants’ clue package paints them as once‑glamorous high‑society figures whose lives publicly collapsed, only for them to reunite after a dark chapter.
The segment is styled like a dramatic “true story” special, complete with headlines, posh visuals, and a voiceover about being inseparable, torn apart, cancelled, and then rescued by an unexpected miracle that brought them back together.
Some of the standout hints so far:
-
Balls and chains on their ankles as they walk out.
-
Descriptions of being “upper crust socialites living at the top” before it all came crumbling down.
-
Repeated references to being cancelled, separated, and not knowing when they’d see each other again.
-
A table with peaches/peach tart and French‑themed imagery (Paris, croissants, “rascal” in French).
-
A photo of Mustang from Season 9, who turned out to be country singer Sara Evans.
Taken together, it hints at:
-
Reality‑TV fame.
-
Southern roots (those peaches aren’t subtle).
-
A legal or public scandal big enough to get them “cancelled” and physically separated.
-
A recent, almost storybook‑style comeback that lets them “rise again” together.
It’s blunt, but in a very Masked Singer way, like they want you to work for it, but not too hard.
Why So Many People Think It’s Todd & Julie Chrisley
The leading theory, from fans, entertainment sites, and at least one panelist, is that The Croissants are Todd and Julie Chrisley from Chrisley Knows Best.
Their real‑life story lines up almost beat‑for‑beat with the clue package: once‑lavish Southern reality stars, convicted and sent to different federal prisons on fraud and tax charges, then suddenly back in the news after a presidential pardon from Donald Trump and a new reality project.
A few very specific overlaps keep getting pointed out:
-
“Upper crust socialites” and mansion imagery mirror the branding of Chrisley Knows Best, which leaned heavily into wealth, image, and real estate.
-
Peach clues link neatly to their Georgia/Tennessee Southern background and the broader “Southern reality royalty” vibe.
-
Talk of being cancelled, torn apart, and separated echoes their convictions, prison sentences in different states, and the abrupt end of their original show.
-
The “miracle” comeback tracks with their 2025 presidential pardon and quick move back toward reality TV with a new docuseries.
-
The nod to Mustang/Sara Evans ties into Todd having previously released a song with Sara Evans, which is a pretty clean little easter egg if you’re paying attention.
Jenny McCarthy‑Wahlberg said the quiet part out loud on the panel, guessing Todd and Julie Chrisley almost immediately, while Robin Thicke floated Snooki and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, and Rita Ora tossed out Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt as alternative reality‑TV couples.
Those other guesses fit parts of the puzzle, mugshots, controversy, iconic pairings, but they don’t hit every single clue the way the Chrisleys do.
That Premiere Twist (and Why It’s Annoying but Smart)
So far, The Croissants have already been “eliminated,” but viewers still do not have official confirmation about who they are because of a new Season 14 twist.
In the premiere’s final act, after the votes were tallied, the duo removed their masks… only for their faces to be digitally blurred with big question marks, as Nick Cannon told the audience they’d have to tune in next week for the real unmasking.
From a fan perspective, this is both fun and maddening. On the one hand:
-
It’s a clever hook; people are now arguing over Croissant's theories all week, not just for a few minutes after the episode ends.
-
It keeps the couple’s “reunion” story running a little longer, which makes sense if they really are a headline‑making pair trying to reintroduce themselves.
On the other hand, if you’re the kind of viewer who likes clean answers by the end of an episode, it’s the TV equivalent of someone pausing a movie five minutes before the climax and saying, “Okay, see you next Wednesday.”
More than one recap has already called the move “frustrating” or “designed to infuriate”, and, honestly, it does feel like the show is trolling in a very modern, social‑media‑aware way.
What Their Performance Tells Us
Performance‑wise, The Croissants leaned fully into the jailhouse theme and the idea of a couple trying to enjoy a second chance.
They performed Elvis Presley’s “Jailhouse Rock” chained together, clearly in on the joke about their own narrative, and finished the number with a kiss on stage.
A few things stood out:
-
The vocals were solid but not the kind of powerhouse that screams “full‑time touring singer,” which fits with reality personalities who dabble rather than dominate musically.
-
Their banter about wanting to make people “laugh and have a good time” echoed the way Todd Chrisley has always presented himself, more quick‑witted TV personality than stoic star.
-
The body language felt familiar in that “long‑married couple who have been through it” way: comfortable, a bit cheeky, and clearly used to playing to a camera.
Could it still be someone else? Sure. Masked Singer has pulled off some wild swerves in the past. But between the clues, the timing of the Chrisleys’ real‑world return to TV after their pardon, and the way the show is milking this reveal, the most grounded answer right now is simple: The Croissants are very likely Todd and Julie Chrisley, and the unmasking episode is going to be messy, emotional, and all over social media when it finally lands.
