Who is Sofia Richie's mystery man? Model kisses new beau in steamy pics after brief fling with Matthew Morton
Sofia Richie was seen kissing a mystery man, who does not appear to be her most recent boyfriend Matthew Morton, at the luxurious Faena Hotel in Miami Beach last weekend. On Monday, February 1, the 22-year-old model looked sensational in a barely-there leopard print bikini and pink bucket hat as she sunbathed and locked lips with her new flame, who was dressed in pink shorts and a red baseball cap.
The Daily Mail tweeted pictures of them enjoying the luxury hotel's close proximity to the ocean as they soaked up the sun on lounge chairs and hung on each other’s words, gazing lovingly at each other’s eyes.

The model, who is the youngest daughter of musician Lionel Richie, seemed to be healed from her heartbreaking split with media personality Scott Disick, six months after ending their three-year romance in August last year.
Old flames Matthew Morton and Scott Disick
In October last year, Sofia, 22, was spotted with Matthew Morton, 27, during a dinner date at Nobu in Malibu.
Morton, who co-founded Cha Cha Matcha with his New York University friend Conrad Sandelman, is an entrepreneur in the food industry. His father Peter Morton co-founded Hard Rock Café in 1971. In December, reports surfaced that the couple’s relationship had 'cooled down' and she was single again after their two-month affair, following which she was reportedly having fun going on dates and was enjoying being single.
Disick broke up with Sofia last August. Various outlets revealed that Disick ended it after an on-off relationship spanning three years. Disick has a very close relationship with the Kardashians and is still considered a part of the family even after his split with Kourtney Kardashian. The couple shared a 15-year age gap.
Who is the mystery man?
Although the identity of the individual has not been confirmed, Us magazine mentions that the two know each other and move in the same circle. Looks like the couple wants to keep their relationship under the wraps for the time being.
“Sofia’s family approves of him, which is super nice for her,” an insider said.
The quote seems to bring a blast from the past. Despite ex-beau Scott Disick’s notorious image for allegedly cheating, and indulging in drugs, Sofia’s mother Diana Alexander had approved of him, calling him a “really good guy”.
