Chloe Chrisley is Kyle Chrisley's biological daughter.
“The adoption was actually never made final until maybe a month or two before mom and dad left,” Savannah shared on an earlier episode of their new show.
“Her mother let us have her every other weekend. And then, every other weekend turned into every other week,” she continued, referring to Kyle’s ex Angela Johnson. “I’ll never forget her calling my parents one day, saying, ‘I need you to come get Chloe. We don’t have anywhere to stay and I can’t have her sleep in the car.’ She signed over custody completely.”
Savannah explained that Todd never “terminated” Kyle’s parental rights until he had to.
“They had to do that to make sure that when they left, that Kyle or Angela couldn’t come back and get her,” she added.
