The couple got engaged in April 2019, but postponed their wedding and ultimately split in September 2020.

Savannah Chrisley and Nic Kerdiles got engaged in April 2019

Kerdiles, a professional hockey player, proposed to Chrisley on Christmas Eve in 2018, in front of their family and friends in Nashville. The proposal was a surprise to Chrisley, who recalled how nervous Kerdiles was and how he "forgot everything he wanted to say".

The couple's engagement was announced in April 2019, and they spoke openly about taking their time with wedding planning and enjoying their engagement. They also discussed the importance of communication in their relationship and how they were navigating their careers alongside their romance.

However, in June 2020, the couple decided to call off their engagement and take a step back from their relationship. They cited the need to focus on themselves individually and become the best versions of themselves. Despite this, they remained on good terms, and Kerdiles even appeared on Chrisley's father's podcast, "Chrisley Confessions", where he echoed the sentiment of taking things day by day and working on their relationship.

While they officially called it quits in September 2020, their story didn't end there. In August 2021, Chrisley hinted at a possible reconciliation, stating that Kerdiles was still in her life and they were "still trying to figure things out".

They called off their wedding and split in September 2020

Savannah Chrisley and Nic Kerdiles, a former hockey player, called off their wedding and ended their relationship in September 2020. The couple had been engaged since April 2019 and were reportedly planning to get married in the summer of 2020. However, they decided to postpone their wedding, citing that things had moved too fast and they needed to go back to dating. In a June 2020 episode of the "Chrisley Confessions" podcast, Savannah shared that they had made the decision together and that they needed to work on their relationship on a deeper level.

In September 2020, Savannah announced their split on Instagram, writing that they had "nothing but love, respect, and admiration for one another but it's time to move forward individually." Despite the breakup, the couple remained on good terms, and Savannah hinted at the possibility of reconciliation in the future. She told Us Weekly in November 2020 that they were both young and ambitious, trying to find their way in life, and that no decision was ever permanent.

Indeed, in August 2021, Savannah confirmed that she and Nic were giving their relationship another chance. She shared that they were keeping their relationship more private this time and taking things day by day.

Savannah and Nic were both on the South Beach Diet before their wedding

Savannah Chrisley and her then-fiancé, professional hockey player Nic Kerdiles, were both on the South Beach Diet before their wedding. The South Beach Diet is a popular, lower-carb, high-protein diet that was created by cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston in the mid-1990s. It involves three phases: the first is the most restrictive, limiting fruits, grains, and other high-carb foods for 14 days; the second phase reintroduces healthy carbs and lasts until the individual reaches their goal weight; and the third phase is a lifelong diet with no restricted foods but a continued focus on serving sizes.

Savannah Chrisley, who rose to fame on the reality show Chrisley Knows Best, began the South Beach Diet in 2019 before her wedding to Nic Kerdiles. She explained that she wanted to adopt a healthier lifestyle and feel good about herself. She also wanted to look her best for the wedding, and the South Beach Diet gave her the confidence to feel good about herself.

The South Beach Diet has been praised for its ability to produce weight loss without hunger, and it is credited with promoting heart health. However, it has also been criticized for being restrictive and allowing potentially harmful types of fat, such as soybean oil and safflower oil, which are high in omega-6 fatty acids.

By following the South Beach Diet, Savannah and Nic were likely aiming to lose weight and improve their health before their wedding. The diet's structure and rules provided a clear path to achieving their health and fitness goals.

Savannah's father, Todd, approved of the engagement and helped plan the wedding

Savannah Chrisley, daughter of Todd Chrisley, got engaged to her then-boyfriend, former professional hockey player Nic Kerdiles, in April 2019. The couple kept the Christmas Eve proposal a secret for several months before announcing the news on Instagram in April 2019.

Savannah's father, Todd, is known to be overprotective, so it may come as a surprise that he fully supported the engagement. In an Instagram post, Todd expressed his love and support for the couple, writing, " [Savannah] we love you with all our hearts and will always be here for you and [Nic] in good times and bad, [Nic] we love you and are proud to call you our son."

Not only did Todd approve of the match, but he also played an active role in planning the wedding. Savannah was perfectly fine with her father's involvement, stating that he is "a great wedding planner," and that she was "excited" for his input. She also mentioned that the wedding was "more his day than it is my day," and that she was okay with showing up and having it be exactly how she wanted.

Savannah and Nic initially planned to get married in the summer of 2020. However, in June 2020, they announced that they had decided to postpone the wedding and work on their relationship. Unfortunately, in September 2020, the couple confirmed their split on Instagram, stating that they had "nothing but love, respect, and admiration for one another but it's time to move forward individually."

Savannah and Nic rekindled their romance in August 2021

Savannah Chrisley and Nic Kerdiles rekindled their romance in August 2021, nearly a year after ending their engagement. The couple initially met on Instagram and went public with their relationship in 2018. They got engaged on Christmas Eve 2018, but in 2020, they decided to postpone their wedding.

In an interview with E! News, Savannah confirmed that she and Nic were "still trying to figure things out." She said, "We're kind of just taking it day by day." The couple also decided to keep their relationship out of the spotlight and off social media as they worked on reconciling.

Savannah explained that she wanted to keep her relationships private because she felt she deserved privacy in that aspect of her life. She told E! News, "I've kind of come to a place in life where I've decided to keep my relationships to myself because I feel like I deserve a little bit of privacy when it comes to that."

Despite their efforts to work things out, Savannah and Nic eventually parted ways for good. However, they remained on good terms after their final breakup.
