Kerdiles and Chrisley started dating in November 2017, about three years into the reality TV show’s existence.
The two got engaged on Christmas Eve 2018, but the couple never married.
In September 2020, Chrisley announced that the couple had split, saying in an Instagram post that “there is no hate between the two of us.”
“We have nothing but love, respect and admiration for each other, but it’s time for us to move forward individually,” she wrote.
Savannah starred in both the ‘Knows Best’ series and a spin-off, ‘Growing Up Chrisley’.
Both series were canceled when Savannah’s parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, were sentenced to twelve and seven years in prison respectively for tax evasion and bank fraud.
