Kerdiles and Chrisley began dating in 2017 and got engaged in 2018 before breaking up in 2020, all while the family’s reality show in Georgia was being filmed.

“We took a break last week. We didn’t air anything last week. That was because I wanted to respect Nic, his family, just everyone involved and everyone who is hurting with his passing right. I do speak about my current relationship, but I’m also mourning the loss of someone who meant the absolute world to me.”
