Is this natural?

Two friends do some catching up...

Friend 1: How's your mom?

Friend 2: Oh, she's great.

Friend 1: And your dad, was he seeing a girl?

Friend 2: Yes. They've been together for two months now. He really likes her, so that's fantastic.

Hi teachers.

Context: Friend 2 has briefly mentioned to friend 1 that her dad had started seeing someone when they spoke together on the phone a month ago.

Is friend 1's second piece of dialogue natural?
