Todd and Julie Chrisley have never shied away from living large, but their latest parenting revelation has sparked a fresh wave of fascination, debate,

and emotion among fans. In a candid and surprisingly heartfelt discussion, the Chrisley Knows Best stars revealed that they recently spent a jaw-dropping $750

on makeup for their daughter Chloe — a purchase they say marks the unmistakable arrival of her teenage years and a bold new chapter for their family.

The revelation came during a recent episode of their podcast, where Todd, 56, and Julie, 53, opened up about life after returning home, adjusting to a dramatically altered family dynamic, and navigating parenthood with a 13-year-old who is rapidly discovering her voice, her style, and her independence.

Finding Their Rhythm Again

After years of public scrutiny, legal battles, and personal upheaval, Todd and Julie admitted that settling back into everyday life hasn’t been easy. “It’s taken us a little time to get back into our groove,” Julie shared, acknowledging that their household looks very different now. “It’s really just me, you, and Chloe on a day-to-day basis. Everything has changed.”

Todd echoed the sentiment, adding that despite the challenges, they’re finally finding their footing. “We’re in a good place,” he said. “It just took a minute to adjust.”

That adjustment has included recognizing that Chloe — Todd’s granddaughter by birth and daughter by adoption — is no longer the little girl viewers watched grow up on television. She’s entering adolescence, and with it comes attitude, confidence, and a growing interest in beauty and self-expression.

“Girl, Don’t Try Me”

According to Todd, the signs were impossible to ignore. “Her personality is coming out more every single day,” he said, laughing as he recalled one particularly memorable moment. “She looked at me and said, ‘Girl, don’t try me.’”

That single sentence, delivered with teenage confidence, was all the confirmation Todd needed. Chloe had officially entered her teen era.

Julie described the transformation as gradual but undeniable. “One minute she’s asking for toys and stuffed animals,” she said. “The next minute, she’s talking about skincare routines, lip gloss shades, and how she wants her hair styled.”

The $750 Makeup Moment

What started as a seemingly simple shopping trip quickly escalated into a full-blown beauty haul. Todd admitted he thought they’d be picking up “a lip gloss, maybe a mascara.” Instead, they walked out with bags filled with makeup palettes, brushes, skincare products, and tools — and a receipt totaling $750.

“It wasn’t about the makeup,” Todd later reflected. “It was about her growing up. That hit me harder than the price tag.”

Julie explained that she enlisted Savannah Chrisley’s help in choosing age-appropriate products that matched Chloe’s skin tone and allowed her to experiment safely. Savannah, who served as Chloe’s legal guardian during Todd and Julie’s incarceration, played a key role in easing the transition.

“We’re starting to delve into that world,” Julie said. “But we’re doing it thoughtfully.”

Boundaries, Humor, and Todd’s Signature Drama

While Todd was quick to joke about the expense — comparing Chloe’s skincare routine to the cost of his first car — he made it clear that there are still firm boundaries in place. “If you come out of there with a cat eye at 13,” he quipped, “I’ll dot the other eye.”

Julie, ever the voice of balance, reminded her husband that some battles aren’t worth fighting. How often Chloe straightens her hair, for example, isn’t a major concern. Teaching her confidence, responsibility, and self-respect is.

“She’s not rude,” Julie emphasized. “She’s confident. And that’s different.”

Fans React: Shock, Support, and Sentiment

News of the $750 makeup purchase quickly spread online, prompting mixed reactions. Some fans were stunned by the price, while others laughed, calling it quintessential Chrisley behavior. Many longtime viewers saw it as a symbolic moment — the end of Chloe’s childhood and the beginning of her teenage storyline.

Supporters praised Todd and Julie for allowing Chloe to explore her identity rather than restricting her curiosity. “She’s growing up in a world where image and confidence matter,” one fan commented. “Better to let her explore that at home with guidance.”

Todd’s Soft Side Revealed

Behind the jokes and bravado, Todd’s emotional connection to Chloe was unmistakable. “I still see the baby in her,” he admitted. “I remember her learning to read. And now I’m standing in a makeup store holding products I can’t even pronounce.”

For a man known for his sharp tongue and larger-than-life personality, the moment was deeply personal. “I want her to grow,” Todd said. “I just don’t want the world to rush her.”

Julie echoed the sentiment, acknowledging the delicate balance every parent faces. “You want to protect their innocence,” she said, “but you also want to support who they’re becoming.”

More Than Makeup

At its core, this story isn’t really about luxury cosmetics or celebrity spending. It’s about identity, transition, and time moving faster than parents are ever ready for. For Chloe, makeup represents creativity, curiosity, and self-expression. For Todd and Julie, it represents letting go — just a little — while holding on to what matters most.

“It’s not about beauty standards,” Julie explained. “It’s about confidence and learning who she is.”

The Chrisleys have set rules and guidelines, but they’re choosing not to shame curiosity. “We’re not raising her to hide who she is,” Todd said. “We’re raising her to know who she is.”

A New Chapter for the Chrisley Household

The Chrisley family has always thrived on humor, drama, and unapologetic authenticity. Now, they’re entering a new phase: parenting a teenager. And if Chloe’s emerging personality is any indication, it’s going to be a ride.

“Attitude, independence, eye rolls,” Todd joked. “We’re in trouble.”

But behind the humor is pride. “She’s strong. She’s confident. She’s kind,” he said. “And if makeup helps her express that, I’ll survive the receipts.”

For fans who have watched Chloe grow up on screen, the moment feels full-circle — a reminder that even reality TV families face the same milestones as everyone else. Childhood fades, adolescence arrives, and parents learn to adapt.

And while $750 worth of makeup might seem excessive to some, for the Chrisleys, it symbolizes something far deeper: a daughter stepping into her own identity and parents learning how to support her without losing themselves in the process.

As Todd put it best, “She’s not my little girl anymore. She’s becoming her own person.”
