Savannah Chrisley, a well-known reality TV star from Chrisley Knows Best, recently opened up about the deep grief she felt after the tragic death of her ex-fiancé, Nic Kerdiles. The former professional hockey player passed away in September 2023 at the young age of 29 after a motorcycle accident. Savannah and Nic had been through a lot during their relationship, which started in 2017. They got engaged in 2019 but broke up in 2020. Despite their split, Savannah still felt heartbroken by his passing, as there were things left unsaid between them.

Savannah Finds Out About Nic’s Death

Savannah describes how she learned about Nic’s death. She was on a flight to visit her dad, Todd Chrisley, who is currently serving a prison sentence. As she was landing in Pensacola, Florida, she received the news from a friend, and she couldn’t believe it. Savannah recalls feeling “shaking and sobbing” as she tried to make sense of it all. She immediately texted Nic, hoping that the news was a mistake, but when she landed and saw the news articles confirming his death, the reality set in. She had to tell her dad, who had been close friends with Nic. Her dad, knowing something was wrong, immediately understood and they both broke down in tears together. Savannah also had her younger siblings, Chloe and Grayson, with her as they went through the heartbreak as a family.

At the time of Nic’s death, Savannah Chrisley was only a month into a new relationship with Robert Shiver, a former football player. Despite the short time they had been dating, Robert showed incredible support when Savannah was dealing with the tragedy. When Savannah texted Robert to inform him of Nic’s passing, Robert was unsure of how to support her, so he reached out to her close friends and publicist for advice on what he could do. Without hesitation, Robert got on a plane and flew to Pensacola to be there for Savannah.

Savannah’s Support System

Savannah Chrisley was touched by Robert’s actions. He met her at the airport, brought her and her siblings food, and offered to drive them home. But Robert didn’t stop there. He also accompanied Savannah to the crash site, where she wanted to pay her respects to Nic. While standing there, Robert quietly asked if he could say a prayer for Nic and his family. This small yet powerful gesture meant a lot to Savannah. She said that at that moment, she realized that Robert was the type of person she wanted to spend her life with. He had shown up for her when she needed someone the most, and his support made her feel loved and cared for during one of the hardest times in her life.

As their relationship grew, Savannah came to appreciate Robert’s emotional maturity. Despite the challenges of her grieving process, Robert remained patient and understanding, never rushing her to move on. Savannah reflected on how Robert’s actions showed her that he was a trustworthy and caring partner, and she felt grateful to have him by her side.
