Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge are officially a family of three!
The model and youngest daughter of music icon Lionel Richie welcomed her first baby, a girl, on Monday. She announced the news on Instagram Friday with a black-and-white photo of her and Grainge holding their daughter’s feet.
“Eloise Samantha Grainge 5•20•24 best day of my life,” she wrote in the post’s caption.
Richie initially revealed she and the music executive were expecting their first child in an interview with Vogue in January.
“He was so excited, and we both cried,” she told the magazine of when they first found out. “It was crazy and overwhelming and so hard not to scream it from the rooftops.”
Richie also previously recalled the moment she learned they were having a little girl, saying they used party poppers for the gender reveal.
“We both really thought it was a boy, so it was a true shock,” she said at the time. “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.”
Richie and Grainge got married in April 2023 in a lavish ceremony in Antibes, France. At the time of her wedding, she told Vogue, “I’m so excited to be married, just because I’m marrying Elliot. I know that sounds so cheesy…he’s the man of my dreams.”
