Cat was then keen to know how Lauryn and Kyle initially met.
The media personality said: "We met over a decade ago, we met through my sister and mutual friends and became very good friends for the whole time, apart from the very end of our friendship where it became more."
The mum-of-two explained that she no longer has a relationship with Kyle and said "everything is dealt through the lawyers".
She continued: "It's really really difficult as Kairo formed that bond with his dad and he asks a lot about him.
"It's just trying to navigate that as best as you can, because everyone's situation is different and everyone has unique circ*mstances.
"But as long as a I put him first, I feel as though my conscious is clear."
The influencer explained that she had hoped that things could have been dealt with in "private" but said it "in the future I hope we can be amicable for our two children".
I can't say I have any regrets because my children are my world.

She told Cat: "I kind of live in this closed of bubble with them.
"They're kind of my safe space. So we try and not listen to outside noise."
Cat quizzed the star on whether she felt she had been "vilified" as a woman.
Lauryn replied: "I understand what you mean and that's been the tough bit but I try and ignore it and just focus on my kids because you can't do anything else.
"You can't force people to see what you went through.
"I know the truth."
The star said she never anticipated having a second child - but said she will always tell her kids the truth.
She said: "You can never predict the future, I feel like I'll just have to navigate it day by day.
"At the moment Kairo is asking a lot but where his dad always trained away, I've got that easy story.
"I think I've got to navigate it the best I can, I will always tell them the truth.
"I don't think there is no right answer for it."
Lauryn then addressed the public interest into her private life.
She said: "I actually think a lot of people are actually going through what I'm going through but not publicly or not on this scale.
"Maybe a lot of people can actually relate to it.
"Every family is unique, every situation is different, I don't know, I just try and navigate.
"I just block the noise out, it's not easy to do but it's something I've had to figure out because if my energy is affected then I'm going home stressed and I've got two children and that goes onto them and I have to make sure I'm the best version for them...it's not easy."
She added: "I think no one is perfect, I think hindsight is a wonderful thing - there are maybe things I would probably change but we are where we are now."
LOOKING FOR LOVE
It comes after Lauryn's scenes for theE4reality programme were filmed against thebackdrop of hercourtdramawith her footballer baby daddyKyle Walker.
The two day hearing saw her financial demands laid bare and the judge presiding over the caseaccused her of trying to profitfromEnglandace Walker's betrayal of his wifeAnnie Kilner, with whom he has two children.
Show bosses plunged Lauryn, who was paid £15,000 to take part, in at the deep end as she arrived halfway through the series.
As a result she was playing catch-up to the other six celebs who had already spent weeks fine-tuning theirdatingskills with the help of the agency experts Dr Tara Suwinyattichaip*rn, Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson.
Viewers should be prepared for an exciting turn of events when she does eventually appear on screens.
The Man City ace, who fathered two love children, son Kairo and daughterKinara with influencer Lauryn, has been holed up in an apartment after being booted out of his £3million Cheshire mansion.
Kyle moved into the property, owned by the Premier League Champions afterAnnie Kilner, who he shares four sons with, blocked his return home.
A source said: “He’s been staying at the club-owned apartments because he's got nowhere else to go.
"He thought Annie would have him back after they shared family holidays, but she wouldn’t agree to it.
“He wanted to move some of his stuff back in but she blocked that, too. They’re still trying to work things through.”
BOMBSHELL POST
It comes after Lauryn sent a bombshell message to Annie on Boxing Dayrevealing Kyle fathered her second child.
Annie, who was pregnant with Rezon at the time, swiftly kicked the £150,000-a-week defenderout of their family home.

And she attended all but one of England's matches at theEurosin Germany.
ButLauryn also travelled to one of themwith their son, Kairo, four.
This comes as Lauryn claimed her ex lover Kylewanted to bed her on a date in a Londonhotel room — days before he said publicly he regretted their “mistake” of a relationship.
COURT BATTLE
The pair were embroiled in abitter court battlein July, which saw the Celebrities Go Dating star slammed by a judge.

Kyle Walker's sit-down interview with The Sun
ByPaul Sims
ENGLAND ace Kyle Walker admitted in January he made “idiot choices and idiot decisions” overhis secret child and bitterly regrets betrayingsoulmate wife Annie.
In a sit-down interview with The Sun, this is what he said.
“What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility.
“I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her but there’s pain and hurt.
“The man that’s meant to love, care and be there for her, did this.
“There have been days in this ordeal where I’ve just wanted to curl up in a ball and go tosleep.
“The only person to blame is me. I have roles and responsibilities that I’m aware of and I’ve made stupid choices. But I need to own up to my mistakes — I owe it to everyone.
“My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I’m sorry because, as a family, this isn’t meant to happen.
“I am a private man but I accept that I am a public figure and I need to address what I’ve done.
“It hasn’t helped that it has been played out in the media. But I’ve chosen to speak now in the hope that I can at least explain myself and enable my wife and children to have the privacy they so desperately need and deserve.
“When I met Annie at 17, I never envisaged my private life being like this. I never thought I would be a father of six.
“InfootballI’ve achieved more than what I ever thought I would achieve. But to personally hurt what I truly believe is my best friend, that’s what hurts a lot.
“How could I hurt someone I love so much? That’s something I need to find in myself.
“I need to find out why I have done this and why situations have occurred. I am human and I’ve made mistakes on and off the field.
“The ones off the field are definitely more damaging and have been more hurtful to me.
“Football has been my life since I was six but my family comes before anything on this planet. At the moment, they’re hurting enormously.
“My little boy goes to sleep with me every night and to not have him . . . I’m used to being away for longperiodsof time with England.
"We say goodnight on FaceTime. But to know that I’m not with him because of my mistake — mistake is probably the wrong word, my choices — that’s what pains me.”
