    The mother-daughter duo exited the show after Season 4 wrapped in 2014 after butting heads with Miller, though they made a quick cameo in Season 7.

    Christi and Chloé, 23, returned to the franchise this past May for “Dance Moms: The Reunion” and  “Dance Mom: Epic Showdowns.”

    “I wanted to be able to just go and speak my mind and address some of the issues that we never got to talk about before,” Chloé told Buzzfeed in May on her reason for returning.

    “It really truly felt like closing the book on ‘Dance Moms,’ which was good for me,” she continued. “I needed that closure to move on and kind of leave Chloé from ‘Dance Moms’ in the past and go forward as my own individual self.”

    As for Chloé’s mom, Christi told the outlet that she still keeps in touch with the other moms from the show and they occasionally talk in a group chat.

    “I talked to some moms more than the others,” Christi said, adding, “We all have different personalities, clearly.”
