When Chrisley Knows Best first debuted, Chase Chrisley was still a teen. However, since
then, the reality star has grown up, and it looks like he's gotten serious with his girlfriend.
So what is there to know about her? This is the truth about Chase Chrisley's girlfriend,
Emmy Medders.
While Chase Chrisley didn't announce to the world his affections for Emmy Medders until
July of 2020, it's not because they barely knew one another. In fact, he and Medders
have been in one another's orbit for some time, as he tells it. He confessed in an interview
with Life & Style,
"I met her a couple of years ago, but I think that I just had some growing up to do."
He added that,
"We're enjoying each other's company and learning more about each other and kind of just taking
it day by day. I'm definitely not engaged, that's for sure!"
One of the things that the Chrisley family is known for is their southern identity, which
permeates nearly every aspect of their lives. The family lived in Atlanta for a long time
before relocating to Nashville, Tennessee. So it stands to reason that Chase Chrisley
would want a southern belle as a partner.
Naturally, Chase Chrisley's girlfriend Emmy Medders is exactly that, as she was born and
raised south of the Mason-Dixon line, in Columbus, Georgia. She even attended college at the
University of Georgia with a major in Journalism and a minor in Communication Studies.
Medders has since graduated from the University of Georgia, a place that she holds near and
dear to her heart.
If there's one thing you can say about the Chrisley family, it's that they all have strong
personalities that are unique and quirky. You certainly have to be fluent in sarcasm
and sufficiently witty to keep up with Todd Chrisley's shade!
"Nick plays hockey, clearly I'm the person who has the better taste and can pull this
off."
Judging by the way that Chase Chrisley's Emmy Medders describes herself, she may not be
extra like Todd, but it looks like she'll fit in just fine with the rest of the family
who are usually less dramatic. Medders likes to think of herself as someone who always
has an optimistic take on the world. She wrote on her Wordpress site,
"For the most part, I am generally a happy person. I try to look at the bright side of
most things, and I love to laugh and smile!"
One of the most important things in the world to Emmy is her commitment to her spirituality.
Part of that involves manifesting gratitude every day and appreciating all of the good
things in her life. She shared in an Instagram post,
"We are not promised tomorrow, so love yourself and others way more. Be more selfless, not
selfish... forgive easily and do not harbor anger... be present and intentional with people."
She also stressed the importance of apologizing when you've wronged someone, affording yourself
grace, telling your loved ones how much you care for them, and making people smile. While
plenty of folks can do those things without being religious, for Medders, the motivation
stems from her Christianity.
In addition to her spirituality being important to her, Emmy Medders is all about staying
close with her loved ones, especially her relatives. She gushed in her Wordpress bio,
"I love my family. I have two brothers and amazing parents who mean the world to me."
She frequently posts her admiration for them on Instagram, especially her father, whom
she calls her hero. Mom gets an occasional shout-out too. So naturally, when Chase Chrisley's
girlfriend found out that her father had been diagnosed with ALS, she was rightfully upset.
She wrote on her Instagram page,
"I am beyond confused, shocked, angry, and sad. The pain is so deep, raw, and surreal
but I am holding onto the truth: God is faithful [...] ALS does NOT get the last word. This
battle has already been won. Please keep my family in your prayers."
While Chase Chrisley has dated before, his relationship with Emmy is different. For one,
being with her has inspired him to do a bit of soul-searching to figure out what he really
wants in life. He revealed in an interview with Life & Style,
"I think she's the first girl I've ever been with that really makes me want to be a better
version of myself, and I want to be as good as I can be so I can do that for her and that's
a huge change for me..."
As if that in and of itself wasn't enough, Chrisley said that he's not the only person
smitten with his girlfriend.
"Not to mention my entire family adores her so everything is kind of moving along smoothly."
Regular viewers of Chrisley Knows Best know that if Todd Chrisley doesn't like you, he's
not going to pretend that he does. The king of shade certainly didn't mince words when
Chase Chrisley's ex-girlfriend left him feeling down in the dumps.
"If I don't like ya, I don't like ya. But my child, Chase, is broken hearted over the
fact that he's single from someone that none of us like…That gives me great comfort."
Leave it to Todd to say something like that.
Fortunately, if his social media comments are to be believed, Todd has given his coveted
stamp of approval to Chase Chrisley's girlfriend Emmy Medders. He commented on his son's instagram
photo with Medders,
"Be still my heart."
That left folks in the comments section stunned and completely surprised to see Todd say something
nice. Todd responded to one of the comments later by saying,
"I don't give those likes easily my friend."
