Nicole and Lionel Richie played a huge role in Sofia and Scott breaking up!

Since the news of Sofia Richie and Scott Disick came out her family has been really rallying around her even more than usual.

Sofia’s older sister Nicole Richie, as well as their music legend father Lionel Richie, are being fully supportive of the newly single starlet, and had reportedly been ‘wary’ about her relationship with Disick, 37.

As an insider revealed to US Weekly, the House of Harlow fashion designer, 38, ‘never fully supported’ her baby sister’s relationship to the much older Disick, which ‘played a big role in their issues.’

‘Nicole and Sofia have been spending more time together since Sofia started spending less time with Scott. Nicole has always been a rock for Sofia,’ and ‘wants the best and healthiest outcome’ for her, the source said.

Still, it was also reported on Saturday that Disick and Richie are still in touch, in spite their recent breakup.

‘Scott and Sofia’s breakup is definitely a real [one], but they have been staying in touch and texting since they split. Their friends think that there is a big chance they could get back together at some point.’ said the source.

But as revealed on Wednesday, Scott and Sofia had indeed split after Scott’s recent stint in rehab.
