It’s time for the 201st edition of Savannah’s biggest celebration—St. Patrick’s Day 2025. Well, the city is going green in every shade imaginable as one of the world’s largest St. Patrick’s Day parades takes over the streets. And just in time for the festivities, Nick Saban’s daughter, Kristen, is sharing a special update from her “favorite city.” Honestly, if you’re looking for shamrock spirit and a touch of Saban magic, Savannah is the place to be today.

On March 18, Kristen took to her IG story to share a series of snapshots from the parade. She posted a string of videos showcasing the parade moments and wrapped up with a heartfelt message, writing, “Another weekend in my favorite city. Until next time 💚☘️.” However, the location? North Station, TD Garden. And to top it off, the background music set the perfect vibe—”I’m Shipping Up to Boston” by Dropkick Murphys. Looks like talk about a festive farewell with some Irish punk energy.

Kristen Saban has a special love for Boston, especially the electric atmosphere around North Station and TD Garden. Home to the Boston Celtics and Bruins, you can say, that its rich sports legacy and nonstop energy, is what make the moment more lively.

However, St. Patrick’s Day—March 17—is more than just a sea of green and lively parades. It honors St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, whose incredible journey shaped history. Well, born in Roman Britain in the late 4th century, he was kidnapped at 16 by Irish raiders and enslaved in Ireland. But after 6 years in captivity, he escaped, and later returned as a missionary, helping to spread Christianity across Ireland. Thus, over time, March 17 became a tribute to his legacy, evolving into a worldwide celebration of Irish culture, heritage, and spirit.

While the world celebrates St. Patrick’s Day, Kristen Saban carries a quiet sorrow. For those who have loved and lost a pet, her grief is all too familiar. However, dogs have always been a special part of her life, a love that began in childhood with her family’s cherished companion, Ray Ray. And now, that bond ran deep, making Ray Ray’s passing an irreplaceable loss. Though time has passed, the memories remain. And for Kristen, her ‘first baby’ will always hold a special place in her heart.

Kristen’s current feelings for her beloved friend

A heartfelt IG post delivered the painful news—Kristen Saban had lost Gunner, her dog. In last November 24, 2024, she shared 10 cherished photos of her beloved companion, along with a tribute that spoke volumes. “After 14 years of the most magical companionship, I had to say goodbye to my first baby yesterday,” she wrote. As of now, through the heartbreak, she reflected on their unbreakable bond and the joy he brought to her life.

But even months after his passing, the pain still lingers. And on March 10, Kristen Saban shared a heartfelt IG story, capturing a quiet yet emotional moment. Well, a fuzzy head rested gently on her lap, a memory frozen in time. And her caption, “Oh, how I miss you 🖤,” spoke volumes—a simple yet powerful tribute to the love and loss that still weighs on her heart.
