In a candid and eye-opening revelation, Savannah Chrisley has just dropped a bombshell about a surprising A-list figure in her past dating history—none other than controversial
actor Armie Hammer. The 26-year-old reality star, known for her role on Chrisley Knows Best and her vibrant social media presence, shared the unexpected encounter during
a recent appearance on Nick Viall’s The Viall Files podcast on Thursday, September 14.
While chatting with Viall, 42, Chrisley surprised listeners by admitting that she once went out on a dinner date with Hammer, who has been at the center of a scandal that rocked Hollywood in recent years. “He and I connected and went out to dinner one time, but that was the extent of it,” she revealed, teasing a bit of mystery when it came to how the evening unfolded. When Viall playfully probed into who made the first move, Chrisley coyly responded, “I don’t know. Maybe it was [me], maybe it wasn’t,” leaving the details of their brief encounter to the imagination.
Although the dinner date seemed to be a passing moment in her life, it was enough for Chrisley to mention it as part of her broader exploration of her romantic history. The brief yet intriguing encounter with Hammer stands out among other aspects of her tumultuous love life, which has been a recurring theme on her family’s reality show and in the public eye. While the dinner itself seemed innocent enough, Chrisley and Viall touched on the notorious sexual assault allegations that have plagued Hammer’s reputation for years. In 2021, multiple women accused Hammer of sexual abuse and violent conduct, with some alleging that Hammer’s actions went beyond consensual BDSM and into disturbing territory.
Though Hammer, 37, has consistently denied these allegations, the controversy surrounding him has not died down. Earlier this year, prosecutors decided there was insufficient evidence to pursue rape charges stemming from incidents that allegedly occurred four years prior. Nonetheless, the scandal continues to haunt Hammer’s career, leaving fans and critics alike divided. Chrisley, however, appeared unfazed as she shared her recollections of the brief encounter, giving listeners a glimpse of how her own experiences have unfolded in the public eye, even when it comes to someone like Hammer.
Although the connection between Chrisley and Hammer seems to have been short-lived, her romantic life has always attracted attention. Fans of Chrisley Knows Best have witnessed her ups and downs in love, and this new revelation is just another twist in the ongoing saga. In fact, it appears that her romantic history may have just taken a dramatic turn once again.
From Armie Hammer to Robert Shiver: The Love Life Saga Continues
While her past romance with Armie Hammer may have been brief, Chrisley appears to be moving forward with a new, more hopeful chapter in her dating life. On the podcast, she hinted that there was someone new in the picture, although she initially kept his identity under wraps. However, Viall, ever the keen investigator, quickly pieced together the clues and revealed that Chrisley was referring to none other than former college football star Robert Shiver.
“I like the DMs,” Chrisley confessed, offering a playful wink to her fans as she detailed how she had reached out to Shiver online. “He’s too hot to die,” she added, referencing Shiver’s estranged wife, Lindsay Shiver, who had made headlines earlier this year for allegedly attempting to murder him in a bizarre hit scheme. Chrisley seemed amused by the scandal, yet captivated by Shiver’s charm and good looks, especially when she mentioned how attractive she found a photo of him with his children. “Look, the picture with his kids? He was so good-looking,” she gushed.
As it turns out, Shiver, 38, is no stranger to drama. The former Auburn University football player and his wife Lindsay’s personal life became the talk of the town in July 2023 when news broke that Lindsay, along with two other men, had been arrested in the Bahamas for allegedly plotting to murder Robert. The shocking scheme was reportedly revealed through WhatsApp messages that detailed their intentions. The case has been ongoing, with a court date set for October 2023.
Chrisley didn’t shy away from revealing that she’s still in the early stages of getting to know Shiver, although she was clearly smitten by him. “I appreciate his heart, and the ability to listen and to understand and communicate,” she shared, reflecting a mature perspective on relationships that her fans may not have expected from the typically playful reality star. It seems that, despite the chaos surrounding his personal life, Shiver has captured her attention—and perhaps her heart.
A Glimpse Into Savannah’s Past Loves and Heartbreaks
Savannah Chrisley has certainly had her share of turbulent relationships, making her a relatable figure for fans who have followed her journey over the years. Her engagement to professional hockey player Nic Kerdiles was one of the most publicized moments in her love life. After two years of dating, the couple announced their engagement in 2019, only to call it off in 2020 after realizing their relationship had progressed too quickly.
During an appearance on the Chrisley Confessions podcast, Chrisley explained that the decision to pause their wedding plans came after they both recognized they needed more time to grow as individuals. “We made [the decision] together. We both realized that things moved way too fast and we needed to go back to dating,” she explained. “I just knew we had to work on things on a different level. We had to dig deeper, and it’s hard.”
Despite their mutual respect and love, the couple ultimately decided to part ways. “Nic and I have decided to call it quits,” Chrisley posted on Instagram at the time, adding, “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.” The split left fans heartbroken, especially those who had invested in the couple’s love story, but it also marked a turning point for Chrisley, who had to navigate the breakup in the public eye.
The Future of Savannah Chrisley’s Love Life
Now, as she navigates a potential relationship with Robert Shiver, Chrisley seems to be taking a more cautious approach to romance.
