MUMBAI: Singer Lionel Richie has approved his daughter Sofia Richies relationship with reality TV personality Scott Disick.

"He's good. He's been very nice. He's been very cool. He's very supportive, whatever that means," Sofia told eonline.com.

Lionel earlier said that he was "scared to death" at the thought of his daughter, 19, dating Disick, 34.

Meanwhile, according to a source, Disick backed off his hard partying ways since he and Sofia started hanging out romantically a couple of months ago.

"Scott feels her age isn't an issue because she's used to the spotlight after growing up with her father. Scott's well aware of the change, telling friends, ‘Sofia's been really good for me'. This relationship is going way smoother than his previous with a 19-year-old (Bella Thorne)," the source said.
