Sofia Richie announces birth of her first child, daughter Eloise: ‘Best day of my life’


Sofia Richie Grainge is a mom!

The supermodel, 25, announced the birth of her and music executive Elliot Grainge’s daughter in an Instagram post Friday.

“Eloise Samantha Grainge 🤍5•20•24 best day of my life🤍,” the caption read. The black-and-white photo showed hands holding the newborn’s feet.

Older sister Nicole Richie, whose adoptive parents are Lionel Richie and Brenda Harvey-Richie, shared a cheeky comment under the post: “I now have a new favorite EG. sorry Elliot.”

Richie, who is Lionel Richie’s youngest child with ex-wife Diane Alexander, announced her pregnancy in January in an exclusive announcement in British Vogue.

“I found out 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,” she told Vogue. “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.”

Instead, she took a pregnancy test to be safe and received the great news.

She also opened up about how her husband reacted to the pregnancy.

“(Elliot) is 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,’” she said. “‘Our moment will come.’ When we turned over all three tests at the same time, they were all positive.”

Last April, she wedded Grainge in the South of France during a lavish event that garnered an avid following on social media.
