The two have been together for 7 years now, and look as in love as ever.

LIONEL RITCHIE'S BITTER EXPERIENCE WITH MARRIAGE

Parigi calmly admits that she has no expectations of marriage - and needs none. She revealed that Ritchie was deeply hurt by two bitter divorces.

First from his school sweetheart Brenda Harvey Richie, and then from Diane Alexander that left his life in a shambles.

ALWAYS CLOSE EVEN WHEN APART

But Parigi reveals that the emotional commitment between her and Ritchie is solid and passionate.

Even though Ritchie travels extensively on tour, he carries with him the same candles, pillows, and flowers as Parigi has at home, to keep himself close to her.

Parigi is of Swiss, Chinese, and Carribean ancestry and speaks four languages. She is a successful model and runs a lifestyle blog, Dream.Design.Discover.

She also has her own candle business called The Estate Collection, and whenever possible, she accompanies Ritchie on his world tours.
