How Sofia Knew Elliot Was The One
Richie married the new dad in April 2023. She revealed to Who What Wear that they began as friends.
“When we started being romantic, he just gave me a different feeling,” Sofia shared. “It was a feeling of safety.”
She stated that she knew Grainge was her “husband — 100%.”
Richie previously had a public relationship with Scott Disick, per Cosmopolitan. The pair officially began dating in 2017. The couple received backlash due to their significant age gap. Sofia was 19 years old, while Scott was a mature 34. Lionel Richie’s daughter allegedly discovered her older bf was cheating in 2018. Additionally, the same year TMZ snapped photos of him cuddling with a mystery woman at a party. However, following the incident, the pair confirmed on social media that they were still together. After reports of arguments and Scott’s trip to rehab, they finally called it quits for good in 2020.
Sophia told PEOPLE that Elliot was her true love. She stated that she “felt this love for him that I never felt ever in my life.”
Sofia Richie first shared the exciting news at the start of the year.

Sofia Richie Grainge is officially a mom.
On May 24, the first-time mom shared a black-and-white image of her baby girl’s feet resting in the hands of her and her husband.
Sofia shared the name the couple chose for their baby girl and her official birth date.
“Eloise Samantha Grainge,” she revealed. “May, 20, 2024, best day of my life.”
Just a few months ago, Sofia shared the moment she and her husband, Elliot Grainge, learned they were expecting a daughter.
The video revealed the couple alone with their dog in the backyard of their home. Elliot set off a confetti cannon revealing pink confetti.
Elliot’s jaw immediately dropped as Sofia let out a joyful scream and fell to the ground. After taking a moment separately to let the news sink in, the first-time parents shared a sweet embrace.
The exciting announcement came a few months after becoming Mrs. Sofia Grainge.
In an interview with Vogue, Sofia confirmed she and husband Elliot Grainge were expecting their first child together, after weeks of much speculation.
Although the one thing that remained up in the air at the time of the interview was her little one’s due date.
Sofia told Vogue she found out she was pregnant “very, very early. I was about four weeks pregnant. I was on a trip to Milan for fashion week, and I was going to the Prada show. I was doing a really quick 24-hour turnaround, and I felt terrible but didn’t think much of it. I thought it was jet lag.”
After returning home, she and her husband had plans to see an Ed Sheeran concert together, but because she knew there would be adult beverages around and she was a few days late for her period, she decided to take a test just in case. But this wasn’t anything new for Sofia.
“Elliot was already used to me taking tests randomly. So he didn’t really flinch when I said I was checking. I was taking one of those really crappy at-home tests, and there was the faintest of lines. I was so used to seeing negatives that I knew when something looked even kind of different.”
She admitted Elliot was so excited when she told him to run to CVS to pick up the best pregnancy tests he could find. After all, they had been “casually” trying to get pregnant ever since they wedding in April 2023.
“We spoke the whole way on the phone. And when he came home, he’s such a sweet guy he always wants to protect my emotions and expectations, so he kind of sat me down and said, ‘If these are negative, don’t be upset. Our moment will come.’ When we turned over all three tests at the same time they were all positive. He was so excited, and we both cried. It was crazy and overwhelming and so hard not to scream it from the rooftops. But knowing I was so early, I was so protective – even with my friends.”
Sofia admitted she and Elliot were both “shocked” when they learned they would be welcoming a daughter into the world. Even before getting pregnant, Sofia admitted that she loved watching “the YouTubes and the TikToks of gender reveals, so we had our OB text my assistant Becca [our baby’s gender], and we bought two party poppers: one blue, one pink.”
Becca then left the correct color for her and Elliot to find and pop together. “We both really thought it was a boy, so it was a true shock. My dream in life is to have a daughter [though], and Elliot is really excited for a girl too.”
“I think it’s so typical for boys to want boys, but he has a lot of sisters. It was really sweet. He’s very sensitive,” Sofia said of Elliot.
The couple told their respective parents first. Sofia put the positive tests in an Hermes box and told them she had bought them a gift while she was at fashion week in Milan.
“Watching their reaction go from like, ‘I’m about to get an expensive present’ to like ‘I’m about to get a grandchild’ was really sweet,” Sofia told Vogue.
As for her plans as a mom, Sofia wants what most moms want: “to raise a smart, kind person. I really value manners and being polite and being kind to everyone because that was instilled in me at a young age,” she told Vogue.
“Being someone’s best friend and helping guide them in life down a certain path. I’m so excited to hold someone’s hand through that, but most of all, to have my lifelong best friend like that.”
And while everyone will be yearning for that first sneak peak of their little one, don’t expect much.
“I want my child to be a child, I’m not going to publicize my child on Instagram. I don’t plan to take that approach because I want my kid to have the option to do what she wants with her life. If she wants to be a private person, I want her to be able to make that choice, and if she wants to be a public person, she can make that choice for herself.”

A surprise announcement. Her star-studded ceremony is followed by a cute pregnancy. Sofia Richie’s due date is coming closer and closer months after she made her grand debut of her baby bump in Vogue.
Sofia and music exec Elliot Grainge tied the knot in a lavish, star-studded ceremony on April 22, 2023. “I love Elliot,” her father musician Lionel told Access Hollywood on April 26, 2022, shortly after his daughter’s announcement. “I’ve known him since he was 12 … It was one of those things where I don’t have to go back and check out the kid. I know who it is.”
Grainge grew up in the UK where he inherited his father’s love for the music business—his dad is Lucian Grainge, the chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group. “I was a weird kid who used to read the music trades,” he told Variety in a 2019 profile. “What I noticed about my father’s negotiating style was how transparent, honest, and sensible he was. When you put your cards on the table like that, negotiating is less competitive and more about teamwork.”
Sofia went Instagram Official with music executive Elliot Grainge in April 2021, just days after Entertainment Tonight first reported that the pair were dating. On April 6, an insider told the site that the pair “have been friends for years and Elliot is also close with Sofia’s brother, Miles. It’s very nice for Sofia to date someone who her family approves of and likes.”
In a since-expired Instagram Story, Sofia confirmed the speculation by posting a photo of herself and Grainge looking ready to share a kiss. Grainge, who is the founder and CEO of independent record label 10K Projects, was said to be getting “serious” with the model just days after going public with their relationship. “They started out as friends before they became a couple, and are now getting serious,” a source explained to Us Weekly at the time. “Their relationship took off and they have been getting closer and closer and spend practically every day together.”

When is Sofia Richie’s due date?
Sofia Richie’s due date for her baby girl is around Gemini season, according to Vogue. The dates that range the fiesty Gemini season are May 20 to June 16.
“She’s growing pretty fast, so [the due date] is a bit up in the air,” Richie told the magazine. “I love the YouTubes and the TikToks—even before I was talking about getting pregnant—of gender reveals, so we had our OB text my assistant Becca [our baby’s gender], and we bought two party poppers: one blue, one pink. She left out the one with the correct color inside, and Elliot and I popped it together. We both really thought it was a boy, so it was a true shock. My dream in life is to have a daughter [though], and Elliot is really excited for a girl too. I think it’s so typical for boys to want boys, but he has a lot of sisters. It was really sweet. He’s very sensitive.”
As to how they discovered her pregnancy, Richie took many pregnancy tests, but this one was particularly before an Ed Sheeran concert. “I kind of knew it was going to be a boozy night, and I was a few days late on my period, and I wanted to be generally safe, so I took a test,” she remembers. “Elliot was already used to me taking tests randomly. So he didn’t really flinch when I said I was checking. I was taking one of those really crappy at-home tests, and there was the faintest of lines. I was so used to seeing negatives that I knew when something looked even kind of different.”
The mom-to-be is excited to dress up and style herself. “Now that we’re announcing it, I have so many ideas,” she told the publication. “I’m not really tapping into maternity wear at all, if anything, I’m just sizing up. I’m also not buying an entirely new wardrobe for this pregnancy. I’ve bought a few pairs of pants in bigger sizes, but I’m wearing my same jackets, and sweaters, and trenches—I’m about to have some fun with it now that I can spread my wings and fly.”
She’s also express-building her dream home with Grainge. “We found out we were pregnant four days after we moved out of our [previous] house. We were supposed to have at least 12 months to do the renovation, so I said, ‘Listen, we have a deadline now.’ And because of that, I was able to fully customize the room. I’ve had a lot of fun playing with pastel pinks. Really bringing to life a little girl fantasy within a nursery.”
Though the baby may be a May-June baby, the married couple is planning to throw celebrations before the birth. “I’m going to tap into that in the next few months. I’ll probably do it closer to April,” Richie Grainge says. “I definitely plan on doing a baby shower and a babymoon.”
Lionel Richie opened up about his daughter’s preparation for a baby, weeks after she hit the nine-month mark, “I keep saying, ‘Calm down. When the baby comes, then your nervous breakdown will start, you know.’” he revealed to Extra the advice of the parents to be. “I mean, my life is so full right now. I mean, 39 years ago was We Are the World: The Greatest Night in Pop, and now here it is on Netflix and is doing amazing, number one around the world,” he said. “ And then we’ve got my Sofie — my baby’s now having a baby. What the heck is going on?”
