Lionel Richie and his children

Lionel Richie told People magazine last year that when he and his former wife Brenda Harvey adopted Nicole when she was 9, it "was actually a godsend."

"She was a little girl who needed a shot," Lionel Richie said at the time. "She was used to people coming and going. She looked at me and I'd say, 'I'm not going anywhere.'"

After Richie and Harvey divorced in 1993, he went on to marry fashion designer Diane Alexander, with whom he shares son Miles Richie and daughter Sofia Richie. The elder Richie and Alexander divorced in 2004.

Miles Richie, now 29, works as a model and signed with leading agency Wilhelmina Models in 2018. His runway debut came at Philipp Plein's Fall 2018 show in February 2018.

"It is interesting in this modeling field and the fashion field, you have to push yourself. My dad and my mom, they all just keep pushing me forward every single day and every day, I'm just determined to be better," Miles Richie told Essence in 2020.

You'll always be my little bird, but I'm so proud of the woman you've become. Endless Love to you and Elliot."
