00:00 Famous American singer and songwriter Lionel Richie, father of three, is about to welcome
00:08 his grandchild between May and June.
00:11 He is excited about this new baby, but ahead of his birth, he showed his red signal to
00:18 one name.
00:21 Lionel Richie's daughter Sophia and her husband, Elliot Grange, will welcome their first child
00:27 soon.
00:28 Lionel Richie made it clear that he didn't want to dominate or intervene in between parents'
00:36 choices of baby's name, but he strictly said no to one name.
00:41 He said, "You can't call her Lionella."
00:45 He clarified in an interview with E! News.
00:48 The meaning of Lionella is "little lioness," which derived from his own first name.
00:54 But he also said that he had left this decision to the baby's parents.
01:00 The endless love singer already has experience of handling grandchildren.
01:06 He is the grandpa of his eldest daughter Nicole Richie's kids, Harlow and Sparrow.
01:13 But he is damn excited about his other grandchild and said, "I would be that loving pop-pop
01:20 that comes in the doors and spoils the child."
01:24 Richie raised his three children and made them independent, and now he wants to enjoy
01:30 his grandfather's face.
01:32 He said, "I can't wait to start laughing because it is at that point now where I said,
01:39 'You are having a little girl.'"
01:42 He talked about the kind of relationship he shared with all his kids, including grandchildren.
01:48 "Each child has a different relationship with him, which he loves and everyone has
01:54 their own personality," he said.
01:56 "I love my grandchild."
02:00 "I love my grandchild."
