Todd and Julie Chrisley are once again making headlines—this time not for courtroom drama or reality TV comebacks, but for a parenting moment that has sparked fascination,

laughter, and debate among fans. The Chrisley Knows Best stars recently revealed that they spent a staggering $750 on makeup for their 13-year-old daughter,

Chloe, igniting conversations about teenage identity, parental boundaries, and what it really means to support a child growing up in the public eye.

The revelation came during a candid episode of Chrisley Confessions 2.0, where Todd, 56, and Julie, 53, offered an unfiltered look into their life since returning home and attempting to reestablish a sense of normalcy. After years marked by legal battles, prison sentences, and intense public scrutiny, the couple admitted that adjusting back to everyday family life hasn’t been simple. But amid the emotional recalibration, one thing has become abundantly clear: Chloe is growing up fast—and her teenage personality has officially arrived.

“We’re in such a good place right now,” Todd shared, describing a household that looks very different than it did before. Julie echoed the sentiment, explaining that the rhythm of daily life has changed dramatically. “It’s really just me, Todd, and Chloe on an everyday basis now,” she said, noting how the family dynamic has shifted since their return. With that shift has come a new chapter in parenting—one filled with sass, self-expression, and yes, makeup.

Chloe, who is Todd’s granddaughter by birth and was legally adopted by Todd and Julie in 2023 before they reported to prison, has entered her teenage years with confidence and a bold sense of self. According to Todd, that confidence is impossible to miss. “She has such a huge personality,” he said. “It’s coming out more every single day.” One moment in particular made it clear to him that childhood had officially given way to adolescence. “She looked at me and said, ‘Girl, don’t try me,’” Todd recalled, half amused, half stunned.

The couple joked about Chloe’s newfound attitude, with Todd admitting there’s a noticeable difference between how she talks back to him versus Julie. “There’s more of a fear for life when she talks to me,” he said with his signature humor, before adding, “She’s gotten lippy because she’s 13 now.” For longtime fans, the exchange felt like classic Chrisley banter—sharp, affectionate, and rooted in genuine family connection.

But the conversation took a more serious turn when Julie revealed just how far Chloe’s self-expression journey has gone. Hair styling, blowouts, visits to her “hair guy,” and a growing fascination with beauty routines have become part of Chloe’s daily world. Julie explained that she and Todd have had to learn how to “pick their battles,” choosing which concerns truly matter and which are simply part of growing up. How often Chloe straightens her hair, Julie said, isn’t worth fighting over.

Todd agreed—mostly. While he’s supportive of Chloe exploring her style, he drew a firm line when it comes to heavy makeup. “I said, ‘You come out of there with a cat eye at 13, I’ll add the other eye,’” Todd joked, making it clear that eyeliner remains a sensitive subject in the Chrisley household. Still, despite his playful warnings, compromise won out.

Julie revealed that she enlisted Savannah Chrisley—who became Chloe’s legal guardian while Todd and Julie were incarcerated—to help guide Chloe through her first real makeup experience. Savannah helped select products that matched Chloe’s skin tone and age-appropriate needs, easing her into what Julie described as “that world.” The result? A $750 makeup haul that included foundations, palettes, brushes, and beauty products that would make even seasoned beauty influencers raise an eyebrow.

“We’re starting to delve into that world,” Julie admitted, acknowledging the shock factor of the price tag while emphasizing the intention behind it. This wasn’t about indulgence for indulgence’s sake—it was about allowing Chloe to explore who she is becoming, under parental guidance and with boundaries in place.

Todd made it clear that, above all else, the decision was rooted in love. “She is such a funny kid. She’s got a good personality,” he said warmly. “I love her, and I’ve got a great relationship with her.” That relationship, built on mutual respect and humor, appears to be the foundation that allows moments like this to exist without spiraling into conflict.

For fans, the story struck a familiar chord. Adolescence is a time of transformation—emotionally, physically, and socially. For Chloe, that transformation is unfolding under a public microscope. What might be a private parenting moment for most families has become a headline, sparking debate about whether $750 worth of makeup is excessive or simply a modern reflection of teenage self-expression.

Supporters argue that Todd and Julie are doing what many parents strive to do: meet their child where she is, listen to her interests, and guide her rather than suppress her. Critics, however, question whether such spending sends the wrong message at a young age. Yet the Chrisleys seem unfazed by the noise.

If anything, the moment underscores a larger theme that has followed the family through every chapter of their public life—resilience through change. After enduring loss of freedom, reputation, and stability, Todd and Julie appear determined to embrace the small, human moments that make family life meaningful. Supporting Chloe through her teenage evolution, makeup and all, is part of reclaiming that joy.

In the end, the $750 makeup splurge is about far more than lip gloss and eyeshadow. It’s about a young girl discovering her identity, parents learning to adapt, and a family choosing connection over control. Whether fans see it as indulgent or endearing, one thing is certain: Chloe’s teenage personality isn’t “too much”—it’s simply arriving right on time, with confidence, color, and the unmistakable flair of a Chrisley.
