In case Scott Disick's love life is just too complicated for you to possibly keep up with, the 34-year-old reality star is currently dating 19-year-old Sofia Richie. The pair are even Instagram official, see?
Scott and Sofia have been linked in the wake of The Lord's summer of poolside romances—including with 19-year-old actress Bella Thorne. So yes, her dad Lionel Richie has some questions.
'Disick and Richie in Los Angeles in September.
“Have I been in shock?! I'm the dad, come on,” Richie told Us Weekly. He was then asked if he's "happy" for the pair, to which he iconically responded, “I’m scared to death, are you kidding me?”
So...we're thinking this means he won't be asking Scott to call him "dad" anytime soon.
