Savannah Chrisley Spills the Tea on Dating Matt Stell After Nic Kerdiles Split!
The big question on everyone’s mind: Is Savannah Chrisley dating country singer Matt Stell after her high-profile split from Nic Kerdiles? Savannah, 25, recently gave a candid, heartfelt response that left fans both relieved and intrigued. During her appearance on SiriusXM’s The Highway late last month, the Growing Up Chrisley star addressed the rumors head-on.
“No, we didn’t date,” she clarified, referring to her ex-fiancé, Nic Kerdiles. The reality star explained that she was still very engaged at the time of her involvement with Matt Stell, 38, who she had previously starred alongside in his 2018 music video for Prayed for You. “I was still very engaged,” Savannah admitted. According to E! News, the engagement with Nic ended rather quickly, a split that clearly impacted her deeply.
Since calling off her engagement, Savannah revealed that she had gone on a date with Stell, but the connection ultimately stayed in the realm of friendship. “He’s just an awesome person,” she added. “The waters were definitely tested. You got to date to know where you land.”
Savannah didn’t hold back when discussing the complicated mix of past love and personal growth. She admitted she has never rewatched the music video that starred her and Kerdiles. “I don’t even like to hear the song anymore,” she said. Her reasoning is both relatable and bittersweet: “You can’t take people you’re in a relationship with to your favorite restaurants or your favorite vacation spots, because then you might break up and it ruins it.”
Fans of Chrisley Knows Best were first introduced to Nic Kerdiles when he began dating Savannah in November 2017. The pair met on Instagram and quickly became one of reality TV’s most watched couples. They got engaged in April 2019, but by mid-2020, they decided to postpone their wedding. “We made the decision together,” Savannah explained on the Chrisley Confessions Podcast in June 2020. “We both realized that things moved way too fast and we needed to go back to dating. We had to work on things on a different level. We had to dig deeper, and it’s hard.”
Three months later, Savannah publicly announced her split from Kerdiles, emphasizing that there was no ill will between them. “Nick and I have decided to call it quits,” she shared on Instagram. “There’s no hatred between the two of us. 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.”
Even after the breakup, Savannah remained open to the possibility of reconciliation. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly in November 2020, she said, “Nick and I were on good terms. We’re both so young and ambitious, and we’re trying to find our way in life. No decision is ever permanent, so you never know what can happen. We have the rest of our lives to figure things out.”
