Kailyn Lowry Explains Why She Co-Parents Each of Her 7 Kids Differently: ‘Sort of Difficult’

Kailyn Lowry is opening up about how she approaches co-parenting her seven kids.

The podcaster, 33, appeared on Lala Kent’s podcast Give Them Lala and was asked by the Vanderpump Rules alum how she approaches co-parenting her kids. Lowry shares twins, Verse and Valley, 19 months, and a 2-year-old son, Rio, with Elijah Scott.

She is also mom to Lux and Creed, now 7½ and 4½, whom she shares with ex Chris Lopez; son Lincoln, 11, whom she shares with ex-husband Javi Marroquin; and son Elliott, 15, whom she shares with ex Jo Rivera.

Asked by Kent if she co-parents her kids differently, Lowry says she “1000%” does.

“Because what I know about Jo and his parenting style and what I know about Javi and his parenting style, I think they’re all very different,” Lowry says of her exes.

“It’s the child and the other co-parent because if you co-parent a certain [way] or discipline or do something that the other parent doesn’t like, that could put you in a whole other situation that you didn’t even [know], you never even thought of,” she continues.

“And so, I think that is a really good point to be made that the kids need to be parented, but also you’re [a] co-parent, which is sort of difficult. And my oldest, I don’t talk to his dad about anything.”

Lowry goes on to say that since her son Elliott is now a teenager and getting older, she feels like she doesn’t need to talk to her ex about anything.

“We don’t really like to put him in the middle of anything,” she explains. “So if I have something to say, I’ll shoot him a text, but there’s really nothing I have to say to him at this point. Like, I have all of [Elliott’s] stuff on my calendar. [Elliott] and I are really, really close. So there’s just nothing.”

“Like I said, if I needed to text them, I would, but I just don’t have to. There’s nothing,” adds Lowry.

This past April, Lowry spoke with PEOPLE and shared how her co-parenting relationship with Jo has evolved since they met in high school. At the time, she explained that their relationship was “very different” from how it’d been in the past.

“I think that the unique situation that Jo and I are in is that we were together as teenagers. I don’t want to speak for him, but I would guess that he probably feels the same way, in that we’re so far removed from that. It doesn’t feel like he’s my ex. It’s like I’m co-parenting with somebody I just know,” she told PEOPLE.

“Now that Isaac’s 15, we don’t have a whole lot to fight about at this point,” Lowry said. “We really only communicate if we absolutely have to because I think that, for the most part, we’ve gotten through most of the hard stuff. And that’s not to say there won’t be more stuff coming in the future, with him graduating high school in the next couple years, and cars and all of that.”
