Sofia Richierarely discusses her relationship withScott Disickin public, but she’s giving fans a small update.
Appearing on Australian talk showThe Morning Showon Thursday, Richie, 20, briefly touched on her boyfriend Disick, 35, revealing that the two are “very happy.”
“I’m very happy,” she said.
When asked whether she’s reluctant to discuss her personal relationships, either with Disick or with her fatherLionel Richie, the model said she’s used to living her life in the public eye.
“I think that’s actually what drives me to work and do my own thing and want to make my own mark,” she continued. “Because I want to be seen as my own person — even though I have all these amazing people in my life that I love so much.”
Richie and Scott have beenofficially datingsince last September after initiallysparking romance rumorsin spring 2017.
Though the couple has strived to keep their relationship private, it’s been broached on the current season ofKeeping Up with the Kardashians.
“This is the first time I’ve ever been with anybody other thanKourtney [Kardashian], so it’s definitely different, but it’s been a really good thing for me,” Disick said on theAug. 5 episode. “It’s a little bit different for me to talk about what’s going on now. Sometimes I feel guilty that I’ve moved on.”
“One part of me is really happy that I’m able to care about somebody again, but there always is some feeling in the back of me that feels guilty because I’m moving on from Kourtney,” he added.
Nevertheless, Disick said he was doing “amazing, for like, the first time in my life.”
“I think that Kourtney and I have been through a lot. It’s an ongoing struggle, but I think she’s doing well now and I’m happy for her,” he said. “I feel that I’m able to now live my life the way I should.”
