What's the Real Reason Savannah Chrisley and Nic Kerdiles Broke Up?
Updated Sept. 26 2023, 3:35 p.m. ET
The Chrisleys have had a drama-filled few years. Family patriarch Todd Chrisley and his wife Julie stood trial after they were accused of bamboozling banks out of millions. Weeks later, a federal jury concluded that the couple was guilty of 12 counts of fraud and conspiracy, and both will be serving time in prison. Their daughter, Savannah, stood by them during this crisis.
In February 2022, Savannah joined her dad and her ex-fiancé — Nic Kerdiles — on the Chrisley Confessions podcast, where Nic opened up about his suicide attempt and spoke candidly about his connection with Savannah.
Sadly, Nic tragically passed away in September 2023 from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. Here’s a recap of Nic and Savannah's love story, including why they broke up.

Why did Savannah and Nic break up?
Savannah was romantically linked to The Bachelor’s Colton Underwood as well as NBA star Luke Kennard in the past. But later, her romance with hockey player Nic Kerdiles blossomed.
Savannah and Nic’s love story started in the way that most relationships do in the digital age: in the DMs. In 2018, the couple took their relationship public. The following year, Nic popped the question! However, their bliss was short-lived.
Ahead of their 2020 wedding, the two called off their engagement.
According to Savannah, she and her ex agreed that they had moved “too fast” and “needed to go back to dating.” She added, “We made [the decision] together.”
But that wasn’t the end of their love story. In August 2021, the two announced that they had rekindled their romance. She told E! News in an interview, “We’re kind of just taking it day by day.”
After that, though, the two went their separate ways for good.
Savannah and Nic remained on good terms after their breakup.
Neither Savannah nor Nic really opened up about their breakup the second time around, but the two were friendly when they appeared on Chrisley Confessions together in February 2022.
What did Savannah say after Nic's death?
Savannah paid tribute to her ex-fiancé on social media after his death was announced. "I'm still hoping you respond to my text," she wrote on her Instagram story. "Heaven gained the most beautiful angel today. I miss you and I love you. I’ll forever save our last messages of 'I love you.' Please send me a sign that you’re OK."
Savannah's siblings, Chase and Grayson Chrisley, also expressed their disbelief and grief over the loss of Nic. "Ain't no way, please tell it ain't real," Grayson wrote on Instagram. "I love you man, forever and always."
