Lionel Richie has been making headlines for decades with his music, but his relationship with Lisa Parigi has also captured public interest. With a 40-year age gap, the couple has been together for over a decade, appearing at major events and standing by each other's side. So, who is the woman who stole the heart of the legendary singer?

A Love That Started by Chance

Lisa Parigi, a model-turned-entrepreneur, met Lionel Richie in an unexpected way. She was in Los Angeles when she was invited to a dinner at the last minute.

“So here I am at this dinner, and he was at the same dinner,” Parigi recalled. “We got introduced, and it was very organic and random. We had great conversations, we spoke all night long about everything. And here we are.”

Since then, the two have been inseparable, attending high-profile events, including the 2022 American Music Awards and a Buckingham Palace garden party with King Charles.

Who Is Lisa Parigi?

Born and raised in Switzerland, Parigi comes from a diverse background, with Caribbean, Swiss, and Chinese roots. She reportedly speaks four languages—German, Swiss German, French, and English.

Before stepping into the spotlight, she worked in the corporate world before transitioning to modeling. Now, she’s a successful entrepreneur, running multiple businesses, including The Estate Collection and Glow Up Beauty.

“One of my favorites is the under-eye collagen mask, which is inspired by all my travels,” she shared about her beauty brand.

Beyond business, Parigi has an eye for fashion, often seen wearing top luxury brands like Chanel, Valentino, and Gucci.

Lionel Richie’s Life Before Lisa

Before meeting Parigi, Richie was married twice. He wed his first wife, Brenda Harvey, in 1975, and they were together for 18 years before divorcing in 1993. Two years later, he married Diane Alexander, but their marriage ended in 2004.

The legendary musician is also a father of three: Nicole Richie, 42, Miles Brockman Richie, 29, and Sofia Richie, 25. Nicole, his eldest, was adopted while he was married to Brenda Harvey.

Still Going Strong

More than a decade into their relationship, Richie and Parigi continue to enjoy life together. Whether walking the red carpet or enjoying quiet moments, they have proven that love knows no age.

As Richie once sang, they seem to be dancing “All Night Long” in their own love story.
