In a May 2023 episode of “Unlocked,” Savannah Chrisley revealed that she and Nate Smith had ended their months-long, under-the-radar romance. She also made it sound unlikely that the “Whiskey on You” singer was shedding any bitter tears in his whiskey glass over their split. “It was such a great experience,” she said, later musing, “Maybe it was the right person but terrible timing.”
While Savannah walked away viewing Smith as a great guy, the exes’ disparate life circumstances simply made it too difficult for them to continue seeing each other. Smith’s country music career began skyrocketing around the time they started dating, which meant that he would be busy touring and promoting his debut album. Meanwhile, Savannah was still adjusting to her new role as the guardian of her brother, Grayson Chrisley, and her niece, Chloe Chrisley. Savannah gained custody of Grayson and Chloe when her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, began their prison sentences in January 2023.

Savannah said of her situation, “It’s so hard for anyone to understand the level of trauma that’s going on in my life right now.” She also revealed that guilt played into the breakup, explaining that she didn’t want to leave Chloe and Grayson behind to join Smith as he toured the country and attended country music industry events. “He needs someone who’s going to be able to go to those things and enjoy them with him,” she stated.
