Medders acknowledged the relationship had its “ups and downs,” including “one major break” during her relationship with Chase, 26.
“We started talking right before COVID hit,” said Medders, 26. “It was on and off, and then we were doing really well, and then we did have one like major breakup where we didn’t talk for like — I want to say it was two months, but it was probably more like two weeks.”

Savannah, 25, also had her own confession, acknowledging she doesn’t “have a great relationship” with Medders after at least one past disagreement.
Medders clarified, “There’s no hate at all. …. I mean, I know we’re not sisters yet, but family’s gonna get in arguments.”
“It had to do with Chase, y’all,” Savannah interjected.
Medders laughed in agreement: “He’s always in the middle of it!”
“I don’t mess with Savannah!” joked Medders. “At least I try not to.”

Chase proposed on Oct. 5 at First Horizon Baseball Stadium in Tennessee.
To pop the question, Chase rented out the 12,000-seat stadium where he had 175,000 rose petals laid on the field in the shape of a heart. “I was so surprised,” Medders exclusively told PEOPLE at the time. “I had no idea it was happening.”
“It was the perfect night,” Chase said. “There’s no doubt I want to spend the rest of my life with Emmy. We can’t wait to build a family together.”
As of October, the pair said they hadn’t discussed wedding planning, though they do agree on location. “Emmy and I both talked, and we would both really love to get married in Charleston,” Chase told PEOPLE.
With lots of details yet to be decided, Medders did say Chase’s dadTodd Chrisleydefinitely had his own ideas for the day: “Todd’s already blowing up my phone, sending me some dress options that he thinks are pretty.”

They have beenordered to report to prisonin Florida on Jan. 17 but, according to the Chrisleys' attorney, are planning tocontinue appealingand remain united as a family and “optimistic.”
