In a deeply emotional and poignant moment of remembrance, Savannah Chrisley has shared a heartfelt tribute to her late ex-boyfriend, Nic Kerdiles,

one month after his untimely passing. The 26-year-old reality star, known for her starring role on Chrisley Knows Best, took to her Instagram Story on October 23 to reflect

on the life and legacy of Kerdiles, who tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident at the age of 29.

Savannah’s post captured the deep grief and love she still holds for Kerdiles, who was once a prominent figure in her life. Alongside a touching photo of him enjoying dinner in Nashville, she wrote, “Can’t believe it’s been exactly 1 month since we lost you.” The image, a simple yet intimate shot of Kerdiles smiling at the dinner table, encapsulated the vibrant energy he brought to the lives of those around him.

In the second photo Savannah shared, Kerdiles is seen tenderly holding Savannah’s niece, Chloe, the daughter of Savannah’s half-brother, Kyle Chrisley. The image is a testament to Kerdiles’ kindness and his bond with the Chrisley family. Savannah, clearly emotional, added a poignant caption to the photo: “Today we bought ham and cheese croissants and Chloe goes: ‘I only like these because Nic would always order these.’” She followed the caption with a crying emoji, highlighting how deeply the family, especially young Chloe, continues to feel his absence.

For Savannah, this loss has been particularly hard, as she has always been the rock for her family. After Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced to prison in 2022, Savannah stepped into the role of guardian for her younger brother Grayson, 17, and Chloe, ensuring that they were cared for during a difficult and tumultuous time. Savannah’s commitment to her family has never been more apparent than in these tributes to Kerdiles, showing that she’s never forgotten the love they shared despite the pain of their separation.

The grief was palpable in the tribute’s final piece—a video of Kerdiles folding laundry, showcasing a mundane but deeply personal moment that now stands as a cherished memory. Savannah added a simple yet moving caption: “I know you’re looking down laughing right about now. We all miss you … #IfICouldGoToHeavenForADay.” The hashtag, a reference to a song that often plays on the emotional memories of a lost loved one, emphasized Savannah’s longing for just one more day with Kerdiles. It’s a beautiful reminder of the emotional connection that transcends even death.

Kerdiles’ death has left an undeniable mark on Savannah’s heart, as she also took to Instagram shortly after the accident to share her devastation. In an emotional post on the day of his passing, she wrote, “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.’” Savannah’s message of love and loss resonated with fans who had followed her journey and were familiar with the deep connection she and Kerdiles shared.

In an even more poignant moment, Savannah reflected on the little things that reminded her of Kerdiles, asking him for a sign to let her know he was still with her in some way. “Maybe it’ll be thru [sic] a ham and cheese crepe … or pasta with white sauce … or maybe your favorite carrot cake,” she wrote, adding a touch of humor that echoed the sweetness of their relationship. The tenderness in her words and her vulnerability in sharing her grief painted a picture of a love lost but never forgotten. “We loved hard … and I can’t wait to ride bikes along the beaches of heaven with you one day,” she concluded, offering a vision of eventual reunion that only deepens the sense of loss.

Kerdiles and Savannah’s relationship was a rollercoaster of love, heartbreak, and eventual reconciliation. The couple began dating in November 2017 after meeting online, and their bond quickly blossomed. Kerdiles, a retired professional NHL player, proposed to Savannah on Christmas Eve of the same year, a moment that many fans believed signaled the beginning of a fairytale life for the pair. However, the couple’s love story took a difficult turn in September 2020 when they announced their breakup after postponing their wedding plans.

In an Instagram post, Savannah revealed the breakup, stating, “Nic and I have decided to call it quits. There’s no hatred between the two of us … and in all honesty … that makes saying goodbye even harder. We have nothing but love, respect and admiration for one another but it’s time for us to move forward individually.” Despite the split, their relationship was far from over. In 2021, the couple briefly reconciled, only to part ways for good later that year. Despite their separation, the love they shared was clear, and their bond remained strong in the eyes of both Savannah and Nic.

Nic’s tragic death has undoubtedly thrown Savannah into a whirlwind of grief and reflection. Although she has since moved on with Robert Shiver, a former NFL player who made headlines earlier this year due to a high-profile murder-for-hire plot allegedly orchestrated by his estranged wife, Lindsay Shiver, Savannah has openly admitted that her past with Nic still affects her deeply. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly earlier this month, she spoke about her current relationship with Robert, saying, “everything is great” and expressing gratitude for having a solid, caring person in her life. Yet, even as she moves forward, it’s clear that Nic’s memory and the time they spent together will always hold a special place in her heart.

The Chrisley family’s ability to endure hardship has always been a hallmark of their public persona. From the legal battles facing Savannah’s parents, Todd and Julie, to the personal loss that has shaken Savannah to her core, the Chrisleys’ resilience is evident. Savannah’s tribute to Nic Kerdiles is just the latest example of her unwavering commitment to love, family, and honoring those who meant the most to her.

As Savannah continues to navigate the complexities of grief and healing, her openness about her emotions has resonated deeply with fans, many of whom have followed her journey from Chrisley Knows Best to her personal struggles and triumphs. While Nic may no longer be by her side physically, the love they shared and the memories they built together will forever remain a part of Savannah’s story.

The tribute, shared in memory of a life lost too soon, serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life, the importance of love, and the healing power of remembrance. As Savannah moves forward, she knows that one day, when the time is right, she and Nic will be reunited—perhaps, as she dreams, riding bikes along the beaches of heaven.
