Lionel Richie's 17-year-old daughter reveals she's in a ‘special relationship’ with Justin Bieber

Celebrities: Lionel Richie's 17-year-old daughter Sofia Richie has revealed that she is in a ‘Special Relationship’ with 22-year-old Canadian singer Justin Bieber.

In her recent interview with Billboard magazine Sofia said she is not worried by all the negative spotlight her relationship with the Canadian is attracting and in fact, she’s completely unfazed by it.
Speaking to the magazine Sofia said;

“I remember the paparazzi and the shit people would say to Nicole Richie, and she wouldn’t respond,” referring to all the paper gossip her older sister had to put up with in the early 2000s.

“I’m going to be real with you: It. Doesn’t. Bother. Me. As long as I’m happy.”

The model, who recently graced the Yeezy Season 4 runway during New York Fashion Week, said she found herself drawn to Bieber after realizing that he was someone she could really confide in.

“We have a special relationship,” Richie said. “Justin is very easy to talk to, and that’s hard to find with people in Los Angeles.”
