It's been almost two years since Nic Kerdiles, former NHL center and ex-fiancé of Savannah Chrisley, tragically passed away in a Nashville motorcycle crash at the tender age of 29. The Chrisley family was left reeling after the loss, and Todd and Julie Chrisley had never spoken out about the tragic death until now. The reality TV stars spoke out on the latest episode of Chrisley Confessions 2.0, revealing an emotional inside look at the pain that they are still dealing with to this day. Todd Chrisley confessed, "It's been so painful for me."
Chrisley continued, "But I've had so many people send me messages on Instagram wanting to know why I haven't discussed it. I just wasn't ready to discuss it. I actually am not ready to discuss it today. But out of respect for Nic and the love that we have for him today and will have for him for the rest of our days, I'm going to have this conversation one time and I'm never talking about it again." This quote from Todd really highlights what an incredible loss this is. The Chrisley family patriarch called it the "hardest thing" he's ever endured. And he admitted that even decades later, healing is still not on the horizon, "My heart has not healed. And I don't know if it ever will heal."

His open heart reflects the apparent toll Kerdiles' death has taken on their family dynamics. Though the chat was admittedly somber for the reality personality, Todd still paid homage to Kerdiles. He remembered the time Nic and Savannah spent together from 2017 to 2020 and the love and connection they once shared. For the Chrisleys, the moment, which recalls not just loss but the undying connections that endure after tragedy, could hardly be sadder. Julie & Todd Chrisley's willingness, if careful, to be public about their mourning also gives fans an uncommon view into their grieving process and the enduring impact of sudden loss.
For viewers of Chrisley Knows Best, this open confession serves as a vivid illustration that, beyond the cameras and the struggles of reality television, there is pain, loss, and the challenging road of recovery for the Chrisleys. Their story is an homage to Nic Kerdiles, but also an epic reminder of the power of family to overcome even the most horrific twists of fate. The Chrisleys' message is that some wounds never heal completely, but keeping your loved ones in mind keeps their presence alive in the heart and memory.
