Chloe Sims, 42, reveals the TRUTH behind romance with Lionel Richie's son Miles, 29, and the glamorous night they met at an Emmys party with Megan Fox
Chloe Sims has revealed she is 'seeing what happens' with 'handsome' Miles Richie after he came onto her at an Emmys party.
The House of Sims star, 42, was pictured holding hands with Lionel Richie's son, who's 13 years her junior, in February after the couple were reportedly seen 'passionately kissing' in a Los Angeles nightclub.
Despite admitting Miles is 'fun' and 'really lovely', Chloe has confirmed she is still 'single' although her romance with the singer has opened her eyes to settling down with a younger man.
She said: 'Miles is really lovely, really nice and really fun, he's very handsome but my status is single and I'm not in anything serious. We are seeing what happens.
'I am in the UK right now for six weeks and if I did get asked out on a date here, I wouldn't say no, so I am definitely single. I don't want to get attached to one person right now. I want the next person I'm really serious with – I really do want to settle down. I want to be with my person.
'I met Miles at an Emmys party, it was a sit-down dinner, I was Vas Morgan's plus 1 and they are friends.
'To be honest with you, I was minding my own business because Aerosmith were there, Steven Tyler, and I thought, 'he's more in my age range!' Megan Fox was there too.
'I was minding my own business, but he came and sat with me. I did know he was Lionel Richie's son yes… embarrassingly, I had a couple of drinks, and I accidentally introduced him to someone else as 'Richie', I said, 'This is Richie' and he said, 'My name is Miles...' And I died inside.'
Miles is the son of superstar Lionel and his former wife, Diane Alexander, with the former couple also sharing daughter Sofia Richie, 25.
The artist's older sister, Nicole, 42, is Lionel's adoptive daughter. He and ex-wife, Brenda Harvey Richie, took her in at just three years old after her biological parents decided the couple would take better care of her.
Chloe, who has a 19-year-old daughter, Madison, has dated a handful of her former co-stars, including Elliott Wright, 44, Dan Edgar, 33, and Pete Wicks, 36.
She says seeing a man 13 years her junior is nothing out of the ordinary in Los Angeles.
The mother-of-one is tired of being defined by her age and sees nothing wrong in romancing Miles, or any man, who is younger than her years.
She said: 'What I will say is... in LA, I have seen a lot of relationships where women are dating younger men, so I am not going to cancel out younger guys.
'A lot of women are absolutely stunning, and they have younger men. In the UK, I would have my reservations about dating someone younger but over there, they are a lot more open-minded.
'I have felt like my age has restricted me a lot, pretty much the whole time I was on TOWIE, so it's time to think more openly.'
In keeping with her fresh start, Chloe says she only tells potential suitors her first name and hopes they will refrain from looking her up online.
And being miles away from Essex, she's thankful to have brand new men to date, as she slams her former TOWIE love interests.
She added: 'Dating in LA is definitely more fun, it's really entertaining because people genuinely don't know anything about me, and I never give my last name in fear they will Google me.
'If I meet someone organically, I only give them my first name. The people I dated on TOWIE I would have never dated in the real world.'
Chloe moved from Brentwood in Essex to America, quitting TOWIE after 12 years to star in her own reality show, House of Sims.
She has since fallen out with her sisters Frankie and Demi Sims, who also feature in the series, and the once close family haven't spoken for the past six months.
Speaking about her heartache over the fallout, she said: 'To hear some of the things they said to me was really heartbreaking and I genuinely wasn't expecting it... I was shocked to be honest.
'They are obviously my little sisters but things that have gone down and things that have been said, I'm not going to repeat them, but things have hurt me deeply.'
