"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.'"

In addition to being a father of three, Lionel Richie is also a grandfather to Nicole Richie's two children, daughter Harlow and son Sparrow.

Lionel Richie told People in January that he's "pumped up" to be welcoming another grandchild into the Richie family.

"I am now going to spoil yet another child in the world," he said, before joking, "I am not quite sure what the child will do to me, but I'm hoping that the child gives the parents a bit of a run, because every parent wants to get even as to what you did to me."

At his youngest daughter's wedding, Lionel Richie walked Richie Grainge down the aisle and shared a touching message to mark the occasion, writing on Instagram, "My little girl is all grown up and starting her own journey with the love of her life. You'll always be my little bird, but I'm so proud of the woman you've become. Endless Love to you and Elliot."
