Romance speculation is once again heating up in the world of Chrisley Knows Best, and this time the spotlight has shifted squarely onto Savannah Chrisley and longtime family friend Elliott Kennedy.

Social media users, fans of the Chrisley franchise, and entertainment watchers alike are buzzing with one burning question: Are Savannah and Elliott more than just friends?

The rumor mill exploded after a recent set of Instagram photos circulated showing Savannah appearing particularly close with Elliott during a group gathering. What seemed

at first to be just another casual moment between friends quickly turned into a flurry of whispers, assumptions, and theories. And for fans who have followed Savannah’s journey — from heartbreak to rebuilding to finding strength in independence — the possibility of a new love story feels especially meaningful.

So, are we witnessing the beginning of a new romance, or is the internet reading too much into a few cozy snapshots and flirtatious comments? Let’s take a deeper look at the context, the chemistry, and the clues.

The Photo That Started It All

On September 3rd, Chase Chrisley posted a collection of photos teasing the new season of Growing Up Chrisley, which will now air on E! Network. Among the images of boat trips, travel adventures, and candid moments, fans zoomed in on one picture in particular — a group photo featuring Chase, Savannah, Elliott Kennedy, Emmy Medders, Chad, and Trip Medders.

But the attention didn’t land on the group — it landed on Savannah and Elliott, standing close together, leaning comfortably into one another, and sharing a smile that fans described as “soft,” “flirty,” and “telling.”

Savannah’s blouse slipped slightly off her shoulder as she smiled directly into the camera, while Elliott’s relaxed posture beside her suggested familiarity and ease. And for many fans, that comfort level signaled something more than just friendship.

One fan summed it up simply in the comments:
“They look like a couple.”

A Crush That Never Quite Went Away

This isn’t the first time viewers have speculated about Elliott’s feelings for Savannah. Fans may recall that Elliott openly admitted having a crush on her in earlier episodes of Chrisley Knows Best and Growing Up Chrisley. But at the time, Savannah was in a long and complicated relationship with her former fiancée, Nic Kerdiles, and Elliott remained firmly in the friend zone.

Savannah and Nic’s relationship came to a final end in March 2022, marking the conclusion of years of emotional ups and downs. Nic’s tragic passing in 2023 later added a heartbreaking chapter to their story, one that Savannah has spoken about with bravery, grief, and reflection. Understandably, she stepped back from the dating scene for a while, choosing to focus on healing, family, and her personal growth.

But now? Fans believe Savannah may finally be open to letting love back in — and that’s where Elliott re-enters the picture.

Flirtation in Public Comments

The romantic speculation gained momentum when Elliott commented on one of Savannah’s social media posts, calling her “the hot one” of the family. The playful remark was cheeky, bold, and humorous — but also surprisingly direct.

Savannah didn’t reply to the comment, but the moment didn’t go unnoticed. Chase quickly jumped in, teasing Elliott in typical sibling fashion. While the exchange was fun, viewers also saw something else growing between the lines — chemistry.

For many fans, this moment wasn’t random. It was the kind of comment someone makes when familiarity has grown into interest.

But Is Elliott Single?

As the rumors reached full speed, some fans pointed out that Elliott has been seen recently with another woman named Alyssa. Photos of the pair together surfaced, showing Elliott and Alyssa dressed formally and posing closely at what appeared to be a social event.

The caption Elliott wrote for the images suggested affection — which led several fans to conclude that he is still taken.

However, others argue that the timeline is unclear and that the nature of that relationship may no longer be current. This uncertainty has fueled even more speculation, leaving fans refreshing their feeds waiting for clarity.

Savannah’s Romantic Standards Have Changed

One of the most compelling reasons fans are paying close attention to these rumors is because Savannah has evolved deeply since her earlier public relationships.

She has openly stated that she will not settle, will not sacrifice her emotional well-being, and will not enter into a relationship that doesn’t honor love, respect, and truth.

And Elliott — who has known her for years, witnessed her hardships, and remained a presence through family ups and downs — may just offer the stability and understanding she needs.

Their foundation is not new. It is familiarity, ease, history — and sometimes, that is exactly where genuine love begins.

Chase Chrisley’s Reaction Says It All

Fans got a particularly entertaining clue when Chase was asked during a Q&A whether he approves of Savannah dating Elliott.

Chase’s response?

“Absolutely not. I know that guy too well.”

It was humorous, exaggerated, and full of sibling energy — but it also revealed something else:

Chase sees the possibility.
And so does everyone else.

Whether protective, teasing, or nervous, Chase’s response confirmed one truth — the idea of Savannah and Elliott together is real enough to ask about.

So… Are They Dating?

As of now, there is no official confirmation from Savannah or Elliott. They have not declared themselves a couple. They have not denied being close. They have simply continued living — smiling, laughing, sharing moments — and letting the public read between the edges.

What is clear is that:

• They are spending more time together.
• They show effortless emotional comfort around one another.
• Their chemistry is visible, not imagined.
• Their connection has grown.

And sometimes, love doesn’t announce itself all at once.

Sometimes, it begins as a familiar face standing a little closer than before.

Final Thoughts

Whether Savannah Chrisley and Elliott Kennedy are quietly dating, slowly exploring something new, or remaining close friends, one thing is certain:

Savannah deserves joy.
She deserves peace.
She deserves laughter.

If Elliott is the person bringing that light back into her life — even softly, even slowly — then fans will be cheering for her every step of the way.

For now, we watch.
We speculate.
We wait for the moment the story becomes Instagram official.
