Lionel Richie’s youngest daughter has just shared that she’s expecting with her new rich hubby. The Richie fam,’ known for their diverse talent, looked like to have another reason to celebrate.
Although Lionel Richie is renowned for his iconic music career, his daughter has managed to carve her own path in the entertainment game, as a sought-after model. In spite of leading a relatively low-key life, the news of her pregnancy has caused a slight stir among her fans and media alike.
But who exactly is this lucky father-to-be? Well, he happens to come from a pretty interesting background himself. Sofia’s husband, Elliot Grainge – whom she tied knot in April 2023 – is the founder and CEO of 10K Projects. This independent record label has made waves in the music industry, signing some of famous names in today’s hip hop game, such as Tekashi 6ix9ine, Trippie Redd, and Iann Dior.
Interestingly, Elliot’s pops, Lucian, heads up Universal Music Group. Lucian has played a significant role in shaping the music industry as we know it today as well.
Although Sofia Richie has rise to fame through her work in the fashion industry, her personal life has always garnered considerable attention as well. Her previous high-profile connection with reality TV star, Scott Disick (a.k.a. Cortney Kardashian’s former-husband) made headlines, even sparking Lionel Richie to publicly throw a lil’ shade at it when he said he was concerned about her dating such a controversial older cat, like Scott, at that time. Clearly it’s a new day now, and Sofia has moved on from her previous relationships.
As Lionel’s baby girl prepares to take on this new chapter of motherhood, we wish them nothing but the best. Congratulations to the lovebirds on their precious bun in the oven!
