Justin Bieber & Sofia Richie: How The ‘Sorry’ Singer Won Over Her Father Lionel

It looks like Sofia isn’t the only Richie that’s completely infatuated with Justin Bieber! Her dad, Lionel, also has a soft spot for the ‘Sorry’ singer, HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned. Lionel ‘adores’ Justin and is really happy he’s dating Sofia!

“Lionel Richie adores Justin Bieber! He was skeptical at first because of all the bad press Justin has gotten over the years. He was expecting an entitled brat, but Lionel was pleasantly surprised to find just the opposite. Justin charmed him right off the bat because he’s a huge Commodores fan and he grew up with his dad playing all of Lionel’s solo stuff. Justin’s also a perfect gentleman with Sofia, at least so far, and Lionel appreciates how Justin put his fans in their place after they were writing nasty comments about her online,” a source tells HollywoodLife.comEXCLUSIVELY.
