Lionel Richie and his girlfriend’s age gap leaves Black Twitter gobsmacked

 

When it comes to love, especially with a lot of celebrities, age is nothing but a number.

After all, love knows no boundaries. That said, the 71-year singer set Twitter ablaze when Mzansi learnt that his longtime girlfriend Lisa Parigi is four decades younger than him.

The “American Idol” judge and his model girlfriend have been together since 2014.

Parigi is reportedly in her early 30's and grew up in Switzerland. She an entrepreneur and a lifestyle blogger.

In a 2016 interview with Mirror, Richie said while he’s open to being a father again after meeting Parigi, marriage is not on the cards for him.

Although there are just under 40 years between them, judging from the social media posts, Richie and Parigi seem to be happy in love.

Mzansi weighs in on the relationship, particularly because the American singer is about twice the girlfriend’s age.

Then again, he doesn't look anything older than forty.
