The couple were spotted dining with friends at the Wolfgang Puck restaurant Spago.

The All Night Long singer, 75, departed the restaurant carrying a tote bag whilst clad in a smart midnight blue jacket, coordinating slacks, and clean white sneakers.

A pair of snazzy blue-tint sunglasses hung from a necklace.

Lisa, 34, was a vision of style in a pretty white dress adorned with petals cascading from the spaghetti straps.

Feet slipped into heeled sandals, the beauty emerged from the eatery with a smile on her face and a sky blue handbag, cell phone, and coat in her possession.

A swipe of lipstick and blush coating her complexion, she beamed as she emerged from the high-end eatery.

Lionel and Lisa have been dating since 2014.

The music veteran and the model met at a dinner party after being introduced by mutual friends.

In a 2019 interview with People, Richie discussed his relationship with Parigi.

‘I’m a man who’s been through the ups and the downs, the ins and the outs of love,’ he explained, adding that he is still a ‘hopeless romantic.’

He said of Parigi, ‘She’s extremely beautiful, but most importantly she’s smart and helps me deal with my crazy world.’

Prior to his relationship with Lisa, Lionel was married twice. He was wed to Diane Alexander from 1995 until 2004, and Brenda Harvey-Richie from 1975 until 1993.

Lionel shares daughter Sofia Richie, 26, and son Miles, 30, with Diane.

Meanwhile he and Brenda share daughter Nicole Richie, 42, whom they adopted when she was just nine years old in 1990.

Next up Lionel will be back as a judge for season 23 of American Idol. 

Lionel will be returning alongside Luke Bryan and the newest addition to their judging panel, Carrie Underwood, who is taking over the spot left behind by Katy Perry after the I Kissed A Girl singer left the show earlier this year.

Speaking with E! News at a screening of The Greatest Night in Pop last month, Lionel said Carrie was a logical fit for the show.

‘It makes a lot of sense. It’s not someone we have to get used to. And the fact that she has a great story, she came from American Idol,’ he added.

Now the contenders will be receiving feedback from someone who truly understands what it’s like to be in their position.

‘What a great judge,’ he added. ‘Now we don’t have to explain anymore, “We know how you feel.” As artists, we know how you feel, but we’ve never been in that oval that says, American Idol. She’s been there, done that.’
