Sofia Richie’s special relationship with Justin Bieber

The 18-year-old model – whose parents are singer Lionel Richie and his ex-wife Diane Alexander – is believed to have been dating the What Do You Mean? singer for the last few months and she enjoys hanging out with the 22-year-old pop star because he is “easy to talk to”.

“That’s hard to find with people in Los Angeles”.

Justin Bieber’s relationship with Sofia Richie seemed to really come out of nowhere, and even sparked a bit of an Instagram battle between JB and his most famous and beloved ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez. “I stepped back and said, “I need to re-evaluate this”, she said. “So I go down and it’s my dad and Pharrell Williams! Doesn’t. Bother. Me. As long as I’m happy”, Richie said of the backlash.

And on Thursday Sofia Richie debuted two new inkings of her own, one of which was documented on her Snapchat account.

She has been playing piano since she was seven and singing since she was five, but after a while it became too much for her to handle. “I’m very simple, I’m edgy”. She was also the face of Madonna’s Material Girl fall 2015 collection. In an interview with Billboard Thursday the model talked about her relationship with the Biebs. “She’s all about really being yourself, and not giving a care in the world, and I really take after that”. “Then I go home and sketch”, Sofia continues, adding that it’s her dream to debut her own ready-to-wear collection of “trenches, high-waisted trousers, pantsuits [and] silks”.

The artist – of West 4 Tattoo in the West Village in New York City – was then filmed as he did one of two inkings on Sofia on Thursday.
