Lionel Richie says Sofia Richie’s relationship with Scott Disick is just a ‘phase’

The singer's 19-year-old daughter is dating the controversial reality star

Sofia Richie and Scott Disick have been dating for just under a year – but Sofia’s father is convinced their relationship is just a “phase”.

The 19-year-old model and the 34-year-old reality star started dating around June 2017, and the couple have been practically inseparable ever since.

In a new interview with Australia’s Daily Telegraph, Sofia’s famous father Lionel was asked about Scott and Sofia’s relationship.

“She’s 19,” Lionel replied. “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.”

“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’. My daughter is getting me back for my Afro days!”

Although Lionel seems unsure about the longevity of Scott and Sofia’s romance, he still thinks Scott is a good guy.

“From what I met of him he’s a very nice guy,” he continued. “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.”
