What NBA player did Savannah Chrisley date and does she have a boyfriend? Thu 23 March 2023 11:36 Updated Thu 7 December 2023 10:26 Yasmine Leung
William Harris Savannah Chrisley has dated several famous faces over the years, counting an NBA player and a country singer as boyfriends.
Savannah Chrisley has opened up a fair share when it comes to dating on Chrisley Knows Best. Fans watched her experience on-off relationships and even an engagement on the USA Network show, and as a reality star, it’s unsurprising she’s been linked to a few celebrities.
What NBA player did Savannah Chrisley date?
Savannah, 25, previously dated Luke Kennard, 26, in 2017. Luke currently plays for the Memphis Grizzlies but was part of Duke University’s Blue Devils when he was linked to Savannah.
They began seeing each other after a chance meeting during their separate family dinners. Luke did not want to bother the Chrisleys by approaching her, so he DM’d Savannah on Instagram instead, calling her “beautiful”.
The NBA player was the reality star’s second public relationship, despite it only lasting four months. Things fizzled out when he was drafted into the NBA in June 2017.
At the time, Todd Chrisley gave his approval of the young couple, calling Luke a “good, decent, honest, and honorable young man.” While athletes have a poor reputation when it comes to their love lives, Todd was confident that he “wasn’t going to step outside of his faith.”
When Savannah moved on to her next boyfriend, she hinted that Luke was the reason for the split.
“I couldn’t ask it to be any better,” she gushed about her new partner. “When I’m gone, I don’t have any worries about what he’s doing, who he’s with, and that’s a good thing.”
Todd also added: “The ex is a young guy, NBA, made a lot of money, and he’s doing exactly what NBA players do. It’s absolutely no excuse.”
Savannah Chrisley’s dating history
Blaire Hanks
Before Luke, Savannah dated country singer Blaire Hanks for two years. He was the first boyfriend to appear on Chrisley Knows Best. They split in 2017 on good terms; Savannah suggested that it was the public attention that fueled their breakup.
“It was hard to keep the relationship just to ourselves,” she revealed. “Maybe that’s why we are at the point that we’re at now. Sometimes you can just go through so much in a relationship that it wears on you. It wasn’t his fault, it wasn’t my fault. There was fault on both sides.”
Colton Underwood
If you’re a The Bachelor fan, you’ve definitely heard of Colton Underwood. They had a casual relationship for short time in 2017 after a serious romance with Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman.
The reality stars secretly attended the Country Music Awards as Colton didn’t want to be photographed together.
Nic Kerdiles
Kerdiles, a hockey player, has been Chrisley’s most publicized relationship to date. The pair went public in January 2018 after Savannah made the first move on Instagram. Savannah and Nic were engaged in April 2019 but called it off the following June and continued dating.
Two months later, Nic Kerdiles and Savannah officially split.
Kerdiles died on September 23, 2023 following a motorcycle crash in Nashville. He suffered from blunt traumatic injuries – including broken bones, bruising of the brain, and abrasions. Savannah penned a heartfelt tribute, calling the world “empty without you.”
Does Savannah have a boyfriend?
She is currently dating former football player Robert Shiver. Her new romance was confirmed on Instagram on November 4.
In March, Chrisley admitted on Kaitlyn Bristowe‘s Off The Vine podcast that she was keeping her love life a mystery “until you know for sure what is this gonna turn into.” Though it’s unclear if she was referring to Shiver.
Savannah confessed dating has been difficult since Todd and Julie began serving their prison sentences, leaving her as the legal guardian of her brother Grayson, and niece Chloe.
