Sofia Richie, reveals her dad Lionel APPROVES her relationship with Scott Disick (Details, pics)

Over the summer he revealed his shock over his teenage daughter dating 34-year-old Scott Disick. But Lionel Richie has now changed his tune, and is said to be 'very supportive' of his 19-year-old daughter Sofia's relationship with Kourtney Kardashian's ex.

This comes following reports that Scott has 'ditched his party lifestyle', reportedly crediting his new love for the change of pace.

According to TMZ he has been telling friends Sofia has been 'good for him', and since their relationship began over the summer he has chosen staying in with her over going out with pals. The duo have been pictured on an array of holidays over recent months, including breaks to Mexico, Milan and Miami, but reportedly chose restaurants over clubs- with Sofia being under the legal age limit to drink.

Meanwhile Sofia's Hello hitmaker father originally said he was 'scared to death' at the thought of his 19-year-old daughter dating the 34-year-old reality star. Scott shares three children, Mason, seven, Penelope, five, and Reign, two, with his former partner Kourtney Kardashian - but Sofia has now insisted her father is 'cool' with the situation.

Speaking to E! News, Sofia said: 'He's good. He's been very nice. He's been very cool. He's very supportive, whatever that means.'

However while she gushed about her her dad's support, Lionel was seen jokingly making a gun gesture to his head, before being told off by his daughter.

Sofia's comments come after Lionel previously expressed is concern at the 15 year age gap between his daughter and the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star.

He said: 'Have I been in shock?! I'm the dad, come on. I'm scared to death, are you kidding me?'

Scott split from Kourtney in October 2015 after nine years together. They continue to co-parent sons Mason, seven, and Reign, two, and daughter Penelope, five.
