A few weeks ago, “Chrisley Knows Best” star Savannah Chrisley confirmed that her engagement to Nick Kerdiles was called off after postponing the big day due to the ongoing pandemic.

Fans of the Chrisley’s were taken aback after Savannah announced her split from her ex-fiance, Nic; however, she did not explicitly explain why. Many speculated that her father had something to do with it.

SAVANNAH CLEARS THE AIR

The reality star was upset over the news that put her father in the negative light and opened up about the issue in an episode of “Chrisley Confessions” podcast. She said:

“At the end of the day, everyone loves to portray dad as this controlling freak, and that’s the reason my relationship didn’t work out. That is false.”

Savannah explained that she and her ex broke up because of things that lacked in their relationship and had nothing to do with her Tod -- and Nic can attest to that.

ASKING FOR PRIVACY

The 23-year-old is well aware that she chose to be in the public eye, which is why her life is out in the open. However, there are still some things she hoped to remain private, such as her relationship.

Savannah often updated their fans of Todd’s condition, which slowly improved through the weeks.

Savannah loves her fans but asked them to “stop trying to create drama out of nothing.” She and the athlete have been deciding for themselves throughout their relationship, and what happened was no different.

CALLING OFF THE ENGAGEMENT

The former couple first began their romantic relationship in 2017 and became engaged two years later. However, there was a point that they both felt the speed of their relationship and decided to take a step back. She shared:

“I just knew we had to work on things on a different level. We had to dig deeper, and it’s hard.”

Todd has been very supportive of his daughter’s decision since, and although they see and read the negativity on social media, other people’s words won’t destroy their bond.

A TUMULTUOUS YEAR

The past year has been crazy for the Chrisley’s, following Todd’s tax evasion and fraud scandal Todd and coronavirus diagnosis a few months ago. Although he is better now, the family patriarch’s family spent weeks scared for their father.

Savannah often updated their fans of Todd’s condition, which slowly improved through the weeks. According to the reality star, her father’s illness made her faith stronger as it was all she had to hold on to.
