Lionel Richie and his girlfriend Lisa Parigi were seen leaving a restaurant in Los Angeles on Monday evening.
The 74-year-old singer and his 34-year-old partner stuck close together as they exited the eatery and ventured into the bustling city streets.
Richie, also known for his role as an American Idol judge, sported an almost all-black ensemble consisting of a zip-up jacket, t-shirt, and matching pants, with a pop of color from his yellow running shoes. Parigi wore a white bra top under a light blue denim jacket, paired with wide-legged black pants and white sneakers, complemented by her flowing brunette hair cascading over her shoulders.
The couple, who initially met through mutual friends and began dating in 2014, made public appearances together since the start of their relationship.
Richie, previously married to Brenda Harvey from 1975 to 1993, adopted daughter Nicole with her. His second marriage to Diane Alexander lasted from 1995 to 2004, and they had two children, son Miles and daughter Sofia.
Parigi shared in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar Arabia how they met unexpectedly at a dinner and instantly connected, despite not anticipating a relationship.
‘It was very organic and very random, but we had great conversations, we spoke all night long about everything,’ she said.
The social media personality then expressed that, out of all of her partner’s songs, Stuck On You was her personal favorite.
‘Although I go to literally almost every show, each time, it feels like I’m hearing it for the first time, so it captivates me, and it feels special,’ she said.
