Lionel Richie, madly in love with his young partner on the red carpet – Paris Match

“The Greatest Night in Pop.” That’s the title of the new Netflix documentary (“The Greatest Night In Pop” in English). The film, already available on the platform, traces the creation of USA for Africa's song “We Are The World”, written in January 1985 by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and recorded by the greatest artists of the time.

On the occasion of the project's release, Lionel Richie attended the California premiere accompanied by his girlfriend. The 73-year-old artist appeared on the red carpet on the arm of 33-year-old Lisa Parigi. Everyone is smiling, the lovebirds didn't let go of each other and didn't hesitate to cuddle in front of the photographer. They have been completely in love since 2013 and don't hesitate to talk about it openly.

Lionel Richie and Lisa Parigi met for the first time more than ten years ago at a dinner organized by mutual friends. Despite the 40-year age difference, love at first sight was immediately noticeable. “We talked all night,” the young businesswoman told Harper’s Bazaar Arabia in 2022. “Now I literally go to almost all of his shows.” Every time I feel like I'm hearing it for the first time. »

The interpreter of “All Night Long” also obviously felt this relationship. “Lisa and I agree on the topic of children. “I don’t think I’ll have any more, I’ve reached a milestone,” he confided to the Mirror. The 73-year-old singer is already the father of Nicole (adopted in 1983 with his childhood sweetheart Brenda Harvey), Miles (29) and Sofia (25) from his relationship with Diane Alexander, as well as his role as grandfather.

If his eldest daughter Nicole is already the mother of a little Marlow, Lionel Richie's clan should soon grow: the youngest Sofia Richie has just announced that she is expecting her first child, whose gender we already know. Last April, the young woman married Elliot Grainge in the south of France in a lavish ceremony attended by Lionel Richie, apparently accompanied by his loved ones.
