Lionel Richie does not think his daughter Sofia Richie’s relationship with Scott Disick has much of a future. The “Hello” singer told News Corp that the 19-year-old is simply living her best teenage life -- thinking she knows it while trying to find herself.
“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,” Lionel said of his daughter’s relationship with the 34-year-old father-of-three.
The doting dad also said he understands his daughter’s rebellious teenage spirit because he too was 19 at one time.
“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,' " he recalled. “My daughter is getting me back for my Afro days!” He then joked, “She’s 19. When you’re 19 you know everything.”
