Yes, he does. He asked me how much does Elias need. I gave him a breakdown of his basic needs, just his basic needs. That’s P10,000 max,” Ellen said.</p><p>Ellen went on to share in her Instagram story post that John Lloyd tries to give her more than the amount she tells him. The celebrity mother refuses to receive more than P20,000 since she also has her “obligations and responsibilities” for their son. </p><p>“I know he’s more than capable of giving more than that, but I told him I cannot accept anything more than P20,000 and that’s it,” she added.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/4/30/ellen-adarna-reveals-why-her-son-elias-is-already-super-mature-347"><strong>READ: Ellen Adarna reveals why her son Elias is already ‘super mature’</strong></a></div><p>The two have been co-parenting their son ever since they announced their split in 2019. </p><p>Ellen also explained why she does not ask for more than the basic needs of Elias since he has yet to start schooling. </p><p>“And because we are co-parenting, I have my obligations and responsibilities for Elias so it’s just fair. Anything more than P20,000 for me is just not right. Because he’s not schooling yet so that’s just basic needs,” she shared.</p><p>In a previous interview with ABS-CBN News, the actress revealed how their co-parenting setup works.</p><p>“We co-parent. Not naman half of the time, because of course most of the time he’s (Elias) with me. But in a month, he has 13 days with him (John Lloyd). He should have a good relationship with him,” Ellen previously said. </p>

<p>Ellen shared how P20,000 is enough for the basic needs of their son, Elias.</p>
