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 met her at an Emmys party.

The House of Sims star, 42, was pictured holding hands with Lionel Richie’s son, who is 13 years her junior, in February after the pair were reportedly seen ‘passionately kissing’ in a Los Angeles nightclub.

Although she admits Miles is ‘funny’ 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.

In an exclusive interview, Chloe told MailOnline that Miles approached her at an Emmys party where Megan Fox, 37, was a guest, as well as Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, 76, who the TOWIE star joked is ‘more into her age group’.

Having moved from Essex to LA, Chloe says she enjoys dabbling in a bigger dating pool and admits on TOWIE that she has only ever had romances with men she would never be with ‘in the real world’.

She said: ‘Miles is really lovely, really sweet and really funny, he’s very handsome but my status is single and I’m not into anything serious. We’ll see what happens.

‘I’m in the UK right now for six weeks and if I was asked to go on a date here I wouldn’t say no, so I’m definitely single. I don’t want to be attached to one person right now. I want the next person I’m really serious about – I really 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 was there, Steven Tyler, and I thought, ‘he’s more in my age group!’ Megan Fox was there too.

‘I was minding my own business, but he came and sat with me. I knew he was Lionel Richie’s son, yeah…embarrassingly I had a few 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 ex-wife, Diane Alexander, and the former couple also share daughter Sofia Richie, 25.

The artist’s older sister, Nicole, 42, is Lionel’s adopted daughter. He and ex-wife Brenda Harvey Richie took her in when she was 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 it’s not unusual to see a man 13 years her junior in Los Angeles.

Tired of being defined by her age, the mother-of-one sees nothing wrong with falling in love with Miles or any man younger than her years.

She said: ‘What I will say is… in LA I’ve seen a lot of relationships where women date younger men, so I’m not going to write off younger guys.

‘Many 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 much more open.

‘I’ve felt that my age has limited me a lot, pretty much the whole time I’ve been 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’ll refrain from finding her online.

And as she’s miles away from Essex, she’s grateful to have brand new men to date as she hits back at her former TOWIE love interests.

She added: ‘Dating in LA is definitely more fun, it’s really entertaining because people really don’t know anything about me and I never give my last name for fear they’ll Google me.

‘If I meet someone organically, I only give them my first name. The people I dated on TOWIE I would never have dated in the real world.’

Chloe moved from Brentwood in Essex to America and left 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 are also in the series, and the once-close-knit family have not spoken for the past six months.

Speaking about her heartbreak at the fallout, she said: ‘Hearing some of the things they said to me was really heartbreaking and I really wasn’t expecting it… I was shocked to be honest.

‘They’re 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.’
