The Masked Singer fans were in for a playful and surprising reveal when Todd and Julie Chrisley were unmasked as the Croissants on the popular show. But beyond the flaky costumes, there was a deeper, personal reason behind their decision to participate.
In an interview with Parade, the Chrisley Knows Best stars shared that the Croissants were not just a joke or a visual gag, but a heartfelt tribute to their family. The choice to wear the croissant costumes was a nod to Savannah’s late fiancé, Nic Kerdiles, who had passed away in a motorcycle accident. He was French, and the couple fondly remembered his daily offer of croissants every morning.
The connection to Nic made the decision to be the Croissants clear for Todd and Julie. The tribute was meaningful not just to them, but to their entire family. Inspired by Savannah’s own appearance on The Masked Singer, the couple felt compelled to take part in the show as well.
During their time as The Croissants, Todd fully embraced the cheeky references and jail-themed humor, despite Julie’s initial reservations. For Todd, the decision to lean into the jokes and have fun was about authenticity and ownership.
Despite the jokes and spectacle, Todd and Julie both emphasized how positive their experience on The Masked Singer was. Surrounded by wonderful people in the production, the couple found joy, connection, and remembrance wrapped inside two oversized pastry costumes.
The Chrisleys’ appearance on The Masked Singer wasn’t just a TV moment—it was a meaningful experience that brought them closer as a family. The show airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX, with episodes available for streaming on Hulu the next day.
In the world of The Masked Singer, where mystery and entertainment collide, Todd and Julie’s heartfelt tribute stood out as a poignant moment of remembrance. Their decision to honor Nic’s memory through the Croissants costumes was a touching reminder of the power of family love and connection.
