Lionel Richie: “Just a Phase”

Lionel Richie says he thinks daughter Sofia Richie‘s relationship with Scott Disick is “just a phase.”

The 19-year-old model and Kourtney Kardashian‘s ex, 34, have been going out since mid- 2017. Despite his apparent hope that the relationship is temporary, Richie does admit that Disick is a “nice guy.”

The singer told Australia’s Daily Telegraph, “She’s 19. When you’re 19, you know everything. Is it going to be for life? I don’t know. But for right now it’s just a phase and I’m going to stand real still in the corner, get me a good drink and not make too much noise.”

Richie continued, “Now I know what my parents meant when I came through the door with my Afro and my girlfriend and said, ‘Dad, I’m in love’ and [he] looked at me and said, ‘Okay, we’re going to leave you alone for a minute and you’ll figure it out,’” Lionel joked. “My daughter is getting me back for my Afro days!”

“From what I met of him he’s a very nice guy. When you hang around the reality world, who knows what you are really doing? This is a well-oiled machine, the Kardashian machine. I don’t really know what to think. I told Sofia I will have no opinion. I’ll continue to be my cheerful self and move on.”
