ON TYING THE KNOT

But while they appear to be inseparable, the couple has not revealed any plans of tying the knot. Lisa isn’t keen on getting married either.

“I don’t need a ring to validate my relationship with him. What we already have is enough,” she told Mirror in 2016.

In spite of two failed marriages, Lionel remains a hopeless romantic. And he’s grateful to Lisa for helping him “deal with my crazy world.”

As for Lionel, he’s not closing his doors.

“There’s always big plans,” he said speaking to People in April 2019. ““Do I have an exact time on this? Oh, hell no. I don’t. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. I’m sure.”

LIONEL ON LISA

Though marriage isn’t certain in their future, Lionel is sure of one thing - Lisa provides him security.

“At this time in my life when you can be so jaded about things, [my girlfriend] Lisa kind of makes everything feel a bit safe.”

Lionel was first married to his high school girlfriend, Debrah Harvey with whom he shares adopted daughter, Nicole Richie. Two years after divorcing Debrah in 1993, Lionel wed Diane Alexander, the mother of Sofia and her brother Miles. That marriage ended in 2004.

In spite of two failed marriages, Lionel remains a hopeless romantic. And he’s grateful to Lisa for helping him “deal with my crazy world.” He even once revealed he’s willing to become a father again. But for now, the couple have a dog named Sylvester which they adore.
