Kailyn Lowry co-parents her son Isaac with Jo Rivera.

Lowry told Us Weekly her co-parenting relationship with Marroquin has “ebbs and flows.”

“Some days it’s really great,” Lowry shared. “Other days, we hit some bumps in the road. But I think being that we’re divorced and sort of still in the public eye, I think that we do the best we can.”

Reflecting on things she’s learned about co-parenting over the years, Lowry shared the biggest lesson is to “keep it off the internet.”

“It’s only been about two years since I’ve really, really honed in on that and actually stuck by that,” Lowry explained. “It’s been, probably, the best thing that I could have done for my kids and my co-parenting.”

Lowry also addressed her co-parenting relationship with Jo Rivera, the father of her first son, Isaac.

Detailing “things are good” but “not every day,” the reality star went on to share how recording a podcast with Rivera’s current wife, Vee Torres, has had an impact on her communication with Rivera.

“For a little while it was, it was a little weird just because the older the child gets, the dynamic of co-parenting shifts,” Lowry said. “So we don’t need to communicate every day. There was a period of time where we really didn’t need to communicate at all, but on the same token, I’m podcasting with Isaac’s stepmom every day.”

“I think I need to do my own thing,” said the podcast host. “I think this needs to be my farewell. I think I'm ready."
