Lionel Richie talks about his adoptive daughter
It has already been a year since Nicole Richie became a mom to her daughter with Joel Madden, Harlow Winter Kate. And since then, people have all been saying that Nicole’s getting and looking better and better now compared to the kind of life she had before her baby.
But while most people are glad to see the transformation that Nicole has now, one person is more than delighted by the changes in the life of the petite fashionista. – Her adoptive father, Lionel Richie.
In one of his recent interviews, the “Ordinary Girl” hitmaker shares that although he was extremely worried when Nicole was arrested for driving under the influence of marijuana and painkiller Vicodin in 2006, he was more than content to see his daughter recover from it.
“I was worried about her. I mean, her life story reads like a train wreck, but she has amazing powers of recovery. She went through her drug period, then came back to centre,” says Lionel. Then adds, “She went through a car accident, then came back to center. She went through arrest, back to centre. Her ability to get through it and recover is amazing.”
The 59-year-old singer even shared that because of his hectic schedule, he could not be the best father for Nicole.
“Because of the nature of my business and the fact that I travel so much, when I’m asked, ‘Can you make it to the dinner party?’ I don’t know. ‘Can you make it to the family reunion?’ Well let’s go back and look at my track record. For 20 years, the answer was: I never made one,” says Lionel.
Well at least Lionel now sees that his daughter is doing better with her life now.
