Chase Chrisley & Emmy Medders Spark Split Speculation 9 Months After Getting Engaged

It’s over! After being engaged for nearly a year, Chase Chrisley and Emmy Medders revealed they ‘agreed to part waves and move on with our lives.’

Amid speculation that Chase Chrisley and his fiancée, Emmy Medders, were headed toward a split, the 27-year-old son of Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley revealed that he and Emmy, 26, had broken up. “Everybody has been asking a lot of questions regarding Emmy and myself,” he wrote on his Instagram Story on July 25, acknowledging that there had been speculation over the status of their engagement. “We both and(sic) agreed to part ways and move on with our lives separately,” he wrote. “Thank you for respecting our privacy.”

There was some indication of trouble in paradise for the Growing Up Chrisley alum and the Elegant Tans by Emmy founder. Emmy and Chase had scrubbed their Instagram pages of photos of each other, and fans noted that they had unfollowed each other on the social media platform. Chase’s siblings — Savannah, 25, Lindsie, 33, and 17-year-old Grayson – had stopped following Emmy, as well, per People. Fans online also noticed that Emmy kept on taking pictures without her ring.

Chase and Emmy’s relationship was a turbulent one to begin with. He went public with the romance in the summer of 2020, but the two called it quits in August 2021. They reconciled, and by April 2022, they were back together. In October of that year, while attending Nashville’s First Horizon Park, Chase decided to pop the question.

“Being able to call you mine forever is a blessing straight from God,” he wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post, per People. “You are the sunshine when it’s dark, you are the rain when it’s dry. I love you more than life itself and can’t wait to live forever with you!”

Chase was also eager to start a family with his new fiancée. “I come from a big family, so I don’t ever want an empty house. Family is everything,” Chase said on a May 2023 episode of the Chasin Birdies podcast. “I’d have a baby right now, but she wants to get married, do as [is] the traditional way, which I respect that. And it’s up to her. It’s her body.”

Beyond this breakup news, it’s been quiet on the Chrisley family front. Todd began his  12-year prison sentence for tax fraud at Federal Prison Camp Pensacola in Florida in January. His wife started serving her 7-year sentence at Federal Medical Center Lexington in Kentucky at the same time. Lindsie gave an update on her father during an April episode of her Southern Tea podcast.

“He is really just embracing the process there and making the best of the process there with the people that are also there serving time with him,” she said. “He’s made great friends. He talks about his friends there.”
