"Lionel Richie with his new Bae, he's 71 and she's 30, love wins," said a viral tweeter, incorrectly referring to the model as his "new" girlfriend. A number of similar-worded posts have popped up, prompting people to react to their relationship with disbelief.
Despite Lisa only being eight years older than Lionel's daughter Sofia, they've long been devoted to one another and often post each other on social media. Lionel and Lisa have not commented on the reason why they were trending this morning.
