'American Pie' Singer Don McLean Joined By 27-Year-Old Girlfriend Paris Dylan At Hollywood Walk Of Fame Ceremony
"American Pie" singer Don McLean held more than just a trophy at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Monday, August 16.
The 75-year-old was joined by his girlfriend Paris Dylan, who is 48 years his junior. The pair were snapped cuddling on the red carpet while the model beamed with pride.
McLean wore all black on his big day, as he celebrated the hit single turning 50. His girlfriend — who garnered fame when she appeared on Catfish — donned a long-sleeve burgundy lace dress that showcased her toned legs. She left her long black tresses hang down past her shoulders.
"This is an honor I get to share with friends, fans, & whoever walks down Hollywood Boulevard. Thank you to Home Free, "Weird Al" Yankovic, and Hollywood Walk of Fame/ Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for this great honor. #Hollywood #WalkOfFame @HollywoodArea," the musician tweeted after the ceremony.
The unlikely couple is said to have been dating for five years now after the singer split from ex-wife Patrisha Shnier in 2016. The photographer accused him of domestic abuse.

"Love is the most important thing you can have," McLean told PEOPLE earlier this year. "You have to love somebody. Hate is such a burden. It's a complete waste of time. I love my children and I love my girlfriend. I'm crazy for her."
"She is the most wonderful person that I have ever known," he gushed about Dylan. "I think of her when I sing a lot of my songs."
The 27-year-old made first headlines as a teen when she appeared on the MTV series. It emerged that she and NBA star Chris "Birdman" Andersen were both being catfished by a Canadian woman named Shelly Chartier.
Dylan and McLean reportedly met in 2016 when she was hired to manage his social media accounts, per The Sun.
