she is adopted. from what i heard it was a friend of lionel and his ex-wife who couldn't raise her at the time, so lionel adopted her.
eta: here's the article:

Her birth father, a musician, and mother, a backstage assistant (whom she declines to name), split up even before Nicole was born in Berkeley, Calif. Lionel Richie was so taken with Nicole, a fixture at his concerts, that he got her parents' approval to let her move into his L.A. home when she was 3. Six years later she was adopted by the Richies. "My parents were friends with Lionel," says Nicole. "They trusted that they would be better able to provide for me."
