Todd and Julie Chrisley are settling back into daily life and learning to parent a teenager again. On the January 14, 2025 episode of their Chrisley Confessions 2.0 podcast, the couple shared how 13-year-old Chloe-whom they adopted in 2023 before beginning their prison sentences-is blossoming into a confident teen with a “huge personality.”
Life at Home: Finding Their Rhythm
Todd, 56, told listeners the household is finally hitting its stride. “We are-just seem to be in such a good place,” he said. Julie, 53, agreed but admitted the transition took time.
“I think it’s taken us a little time to get back into our groove, our rhythm of everyday life,” she explained. “We came back home to different situations with all the kids. Everything is different.”
The couple noted that the current daily routine centers on the three of them. “It’s really just me, you and Chloe on an everyday basis,” Julie added.
Chloe’s New Attitude and Style
According to Todd, Chloe’s “teenage personality” now appears “more every day.” He quoted her recent quip: “Girl, don’t try me.”
He also compared how Chloe interacts with each parent. “There’s more of a fear for life” when she challenges Julie versus when she challenges him, he joked.
Physical appearance has become a focus for the 13-year-old:
- She straightens her hair regularly
- She visits a “hair guy” for blowouts
- She experiments with makeup
- She spent $750 on new cosmetics
Julie said she asked Savannah-who became Chloe’s legal guardian during their incarceration-to help pick products that match Chloe’s skin tone. “We’re starting to delve into that world,” she remarked.
Setting Boundaries: The Cat-Eye Standoff
While Julie advocates picking their battles, Todd drew a firm line on one cosmetic choice. Recalling a warning he gave Chloe, he said:
“Let me tell you something. You come out of there with a cat eye at 13. I’ll dot the other eye. You’re not painting on no-whatever the stuff is-eyliner.”
Julie responded that hair-straightening frequency is not worth a fight, but Todd held his ground on dramatic eyeliner looks for a middle-schooler.
A Strong Bond Despite the Sass
Both parents emphasized their affection for Chloe. Todd described “a great banter back and forth,” even when she ignores his requests.
“She is such a funny kid. She’s got a good personality,” he said. “I love her, and I’ve got a great relationship with her.”
Julie echoed the sentiment, noting that humor and open communication define their household dynamic as they all adjust to life together again.
