Congratulations are in order for Sofia Richie Grainge and her husband, Elliot Grainge. The couple recently welcomed their first child to the world.
The new mother shared a first-look at her newborn on Instagram. She lovingly captioned the image, that featured her daughter‘s feet being cradled in her parents’ hands, “Eloise Samantha Grainge 5•20•24 best day of my life.”
As you may have expected, social media went wild with excitement from friends and fans alike sending their best wishes to the new parents.
One Instagram user commented, “This is the most precious thing I have seen all day!”
Relative, Brenda Harvey Richie shared, “A beautiful new addition to our family. Congregations Sofia and Elliot,” followed by a string of pink hearts.
Many people commented on the baby’s name saying, “great name” and “congratulations, love her name!”
The 25-year-old daughter of singer and American Idol judge, Lionel Richie and Diane Alexander, was very transparent and open about her pregnancy journey. In a past interview with Vogue Magazine, the model detailed exactly when found out that she was pregnant and how the journey became a truly educational experience.
“I found out very, very early,” she told Vogue exclusively. “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.”
To confirm her pregnancy, she took several pregnancy tests, initially keeping the news private to “protect” her space.
“I’ve learned more in the past six months than I have in my entire life,” Richie told outlet at the time. “Pregnancy is really scary and you want to protect that space. I didn’t realize there are so many milestones you have to hit and so many tests you have to take. For me, it was really important to protect our mental health and our space as a couple.”
Sofia and her husband, Elliot, were married in the South of France on April 22, 2023 alongside family and friends.
Congratulations to Sofia and Elliot! Welcome to the world, baby Eloise!
