It’s officially confirmed: Sofia Richie Grainge and her husband, record executive Elliot Grainge, are overjoyed to announce that they are expecting their first child. The exciting news was shared with the world through a series of Instagram posts on January 25, featuring stills from a Vogue UK photoshoot where the radiant model proudly showcased her growing baby bump. In one of the captivating images, Sofia donned a button-down blouse, strategically left open to reveal her beautiful belly, captioning the post with the words, “And then there were three.”
In a heartfelt Vogue interview released on the same day, Sofia Richie, the daughter of music icon Lionel Richie, opened up about the early moments of her pregnancy journey. She shared, “I found out very, very early,” attributing the initial signs to jet lag when she was about four weeks pregnant. The Over the Moon founder joyfully disclosed that they are expecting a baby girl, set to be born under the zodiac sign of Gemini. Expressing mutual joy and excitement, Sofia and Elliot are eagerly anticipating this next chapter in their lives, with Sofia expressing gratitude for the overwhelming support from well-wishers.
The couple, who officially confirmed their relationship in April 2021, has been on a whirlwind romance ever since. Elliot Grainge, the son of Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge, proposed during a surprise engagement on a family vacation in early 2022. The lovebirds then exchanged vows in a lavish wedding ceremony at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in the South of France in April 2023.
Interestingly, keen observers may have noticed subtle hints that Sofia Richie was expecting even before her January 2024 announcement. In late 2023, fans began speculating as the model consistently opted for voluminous overcoats that elegantly draped over her petite frame. A particular shopping trip on Melrose Place in West Hollywood caught attention, where Sofia was seen protectively cradling her oversized camel trenchcoat over her belly.
Sofia acknowledged the speculation during her Vogue UK profile, revealing that her choice of oversized clothing served as a discreet baby bump-concealing tactic. With the news officially out, she expressed excitement about exploring various creative wardrobe ideas for her pregnancy. Sofia emphasized that she won’t be limiting herself to traditional maternity wear, stating, “I’m not really tapping into maternity wear at all; if anything, I’m just sizing up.” The fashion-savvy influencer and younger sister of Nicole Richie plans to have fun experimenting with her existing wardrobe, incorporating looser pants while retaining her signature jackets, sweaters, and trenches. As she looks forward to the journey ahead, Sofia playfully remarked, “I’m about to have some fun with it now that I can spread my wings and fly.”
