On January 11, 2026, Chrisley Knows Best star Todd posted a birthday tribute to Nic. Todd shared photos of Nic and wrote that not a day goes by without thinking about him.

Several fans recalled episodes in which Nic appeared on the show and said the post made them emotional. Some commented that Nic always seemed genuine and grounded during his time with the family. However, not all reactions were as positive. A few fans questioned Todd’s timing and felt the post might be made to distract people from the current family controversies.
