Brand new Detroit Pistons wing Luke Kennard has shot and scored.
With a reality TV hottie, that is!
On Thursday night, USA Network star Savannah Chrisley shared a number of photos from her trip to Brooklyn, where she attended the 2017 NBA Draft as a guest of Kennard, confirming their romantic relationship in the process.
“Yep y’all…he’s my guy could not be more proud of him!!” wrote the Chrisley Knows Best actress as an Instagram caption to the above image, adding:
“Thank you for choosing me @lukekennard5 #nbabound #dukenation #myboyfriendishot.”
Kennard was selected 12th overall by the Pistons.
He’s coming off an impressive sophomore year at Duke University and will be relied upon to help Detroit bounce back after a difficult season in which they missed the playoffs and lost eight more games than they lost the year before.
If the Pistons lose Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to free agency, Kennard may even step in and start.
In another photo from her man’s big night, Chrisley posed with members of Luke’s family and wrote:
“And we’re off!! Today’s the day…to where it all changes!!! #nbadraft (Dress, Heels, and bag…all Gucci) @gucci.”
Savannah broke up with Blaire Hanks after many years of dating in January, admitting at the time that it wasn’t easy.
“It hurts,” Chrisley wrote on social media. “It does because for me he was that definition of just my first true love and I’m trying to stay strong y’all.”
Those who watch Chrisley Knows Best online or on television since it premiered on USA have seen the couple grow close and then grow slightly apart over the last few months the show as on the air.
Chrisley, meanwhile, also made headlines this year after getting involved in a very serious car accident.
But she appears to have recovered nicely.
Back in February, Savannah was rumored to be dating Memphis Grizzlies player Chandler Parsons, but told Entertainment Tonight at the time that they were just friends.
“We hang out. He’s a blast. He has the best personality,” she said, adding:
“I mean, heck — he makes [my dad] laugh, he makes me laugh. He truly is just a great friend. I’m single, having fun.”
Only half of that latter statement now rings true.
Aside from his attractive appearance, it also looks like Kennard has learned a thing or two from his blonde girlfriend.
She promoted Gucci in the caption quoted above, while Kennard posed on a red carpet shortly after being drafted and immediately gave props to watch company Tissot.
See for yourself:
Well played, Luke Kennard.
For the sake of Pistons fans, let’s hope you are just as fast of a learned on the court next season.
