Chloe is the daughter of Kyle Chrisley and his ex-girlfriend, Angela Johnson. Due to Kyle's personal struggles, Chloe was taken in by her grandparents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, early in her life. Todd and Julie assumed custody of Chloe, and her biological mother, Angela Johnson, voluntarily surrendered her parental rights. This led to Chloe becoming a permanent fixture on the reality show, often sharing heartwarming, funny, and sometimes challenging moments with her adoptive parents and her aunt and uncle, Savannah and Grayson. The family's decision to take Chloe in was a major plot point on *Chrisley Knows Best*, cementing her role as one of the show’s most beloved figures.

The Latest Custody Shock: Who is Currently Parenting Chloe?

The biggest change in Chloe's life occurred when her adoptive parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, began serving their federal prison sentences for bank fraud and tax evasion. This abrupt shift forced the family to make immediate, drastic changes to her custody.

Savannah Chrisley Steps Up as Legal Guardian

Initially, the responsibility fell to her older sister (and adoptive aunt), Savannah Chrisley. Savannah, who is also an entrepreneur and podcaster, stepped into the role of legal guardian for both Chloe and her younger brother, Grayson Chrisley. At just 27, Savannah openly discussed the immense challenges of becoming a sudden parent to a pre-teen and a teenager, sharing her struggles on her podcast, *Unlocked*. This arrangement was widely publicized, with Savannah often sharing updates about balancing her career with the demands of raising two children. She became a central figure in ensuring stability for Chloe and Grayson during their parents' incarceration.

The Surprise Step-Back in 2025

However, in a surprising turn of events revealed in late 2025, Savannah Chrisley publicly shared that she has "taken a step back" from the full-time parenting role for Chloe. While Savannah remains the legal guardian, the day-to-day responsibilities for Chloe's care have reportedly shifted. The exact details of the new arrangement are kept private, but it suggests that another family member or a different living situation has been established to better suit Chloe's needs as she enters her teenage years. This decision was likely made to provide the most stable and nurturing environment possible for Chloe, who has already endured significant family upheaval. This development is a key differentiator from the family's situation in the previous year, highlighting the ongoing, fluid nature of the Chrisley family's post-incarceration life.

The Finalized Adoption: A Legal Milestone in 2025

A crucial legal detail about Chloe's status was revealed in the new wave of Chrisley family news in 2025: Todd and Julie Chrisley finalized Chloe's adoption. For years, Todd and Julie had custody of Chloe and raised her as their own, but the formal adoption process was only completed just before they began their prison sentences. Reports indicate the adoption was finalized on September 2, 2025, a date that now holds significant legal and emotional weight for the family. This finalization means that Todd and Julie are Chloe's legal parents, not just her custodians. This legal confirmation is a testament to the commitment they made to her and has significant implications for her future, despite their current legal woes. The revelation of the finalized adoption was a major point of discussion in the premiere of the family's new docuseries.

The Chrisleys' Return to Reality TV and Chloe's Role

Despite the ongoing legal drama and the incarceration of Todd and Julie, the Chrisley family is making a major return to television in 2025.

New Docuseries: *The Chrisleys: Back to Reality*

The family has partnered with Lifetime for a new, currently untitled docuseries, which was confirmed in May 2025. The show, which premiered in September 2025, is titled *The Chrisleys: Back to Reality*. This new series is expected to focus heavily on the aftermath of Todd and Julie's sentencing, the family's coping mechanisms, and the new dynamic of Savannah raising her siblings. Chloe's role in this new series is pivotal. The show is expected to give viewers a candid look at how she is processing the absence of her adoptive parents, her relationship with Savannah, and the challenges of being a teenager under intense public scrutiny. The new series aims to show a more raw and honest side of the family compared to the often-polished *Chrisley Knows Best*.

Focus on Mental Health and Stability

Savannah has consistently emphasized the importance of stability and mental health for both Chloe and Grayson. The new docuseries is likely to explore these themes, showing how the family is working together—including Chase Chrisley and Nanny Faye—to create a supportive environment for the children. The narrative will likely center on Chloe's emotional well-being as she navigates a world where her parents are physically absent. The Chrisley family’s decision to return to reality TV is a bold move, but it ensures that Chloe's life remains a part of the public conversation, offering a real-time look at how she is growing and adapting to her "new normal."
