Lionel Richie, 74, and girlfriend Lisa Parigi, 34, enjoy dinner date in Los Angeles

Lionel Richie was spotted while leaving a restaurant with his girlfriend Lisa Parigi in Los Angeles on Monday evening.

The 74-year-old singer and his 34-year-old partner stayed close to one another as they made their way out of the eatery and stepped into the city's bustling streets.

The American Idol judge - who recently gave a 'major compliment' to one of the show's contestants - opted for a nearly all-black outfit that was comprised of a zip-up jacket, t-shirt and matching pants.

Richie added a bit of extra color to his look for the evening with a pair of yellow running shoes.

Parigi wore a white bra top underneath a light blue denim jacket as she spent time with her partner.

The entrepreneur completed her look with wide-legged black pants and white sneakers, and her gorgeous brunette hair cascaded onto her shoulders.

The singer and the social media personality initially met through mutual friends and began their relationship in 2014.

Richie was formerly married to Brenda Harvey from 1975 until 1993, and they adopted their daughter Nicole during their marriage.

The hitmaker was subsequently married to Diane Alexander, and their union lasted from 1995 until 2004.

The singer and his second spouse welcomed a son named Miles, 29, and Sofia, 25, in 1994 and 1998, respectively.

Richie has since moved on with Parigi, and she has accompanied the singer on various public outings ever since the start of their relationship.

The entrepreneur spoke about her relationship during an interview with Harper's Bazaar Arabia and opened up about her first encounter with the singer.

She recalled: 'Long story short, I got invited to this dinner on very short notice, completely unplanned. So here I am at this dinner, he was at the same dinner, we get introduced to each other.'

Parigi then stated that, although she did not expect to start a relationship with Richie, they established an instant connection. 

'It was very organic and very random, but we had great conversations, we spoke all night long about everything,' she said.

The social media personality then expressed that, out of all of her partner's songs, Stuck On You was her personal favorite.  

'Although I go to literally almost every show, each time, it feels like I’m hearing it for the first time, so it captivates me, and it feels special,' she said.
