SOFIA Richie has been expecting a child with her husband Elliot Grainge, and her father just posted about it.
Sofia’s father, Lionel Richie, 74, is a famous singer and songwriter known for his music in the 80s like the song We Are the World.
This week, the 25-year-old was featured on the social media pages of Vogue while sporting her baby bump.
In the snaps, Sofia wore several different outfits that all showed off her bare belly.
All of the pictures showed the model with her hair slicked back in a low bun and she was wearing minimal makeup.
In one of the last photos, the one her father shared, she was wearing a skintight black floor-length dress.
There was a large cut out in the back and she was barefoot.
Sofia’s hands were perched on her lower back which allowed her bump to be in full view.
Lionel reposted the pictures on his Instagram Story with the caption: “My little girl is having a baby!”
He also reshared another photo of Sofia and Elliot that his daughter posted on her profile.
HELLO MOTHER
Sofia’s fans in the comment section went wild when they heard the happy news.
One said: “Calling it now: every photographer will get these exact images as requests for maternity sessions these next 2 years.”
American Idol’s page commented: “GRAND PAPA LIONEL!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!”
“A nepobaby having a nepobaby so happy for her!!” said a third.
Others said: “Now I can say mother and really mean it,” and “MOTHER IS MOTHERING (literally).”
“This will be my new Roman Empire,” wrote a final fan.
THE BIG REVEAL
Sofia revealed that she is expecting her first child in an interview with Vogue.
In the interview, the star admitted, “I’ve learned more in the past six months than I have in my entire life.
“And also just like what the female body is capable of. Every week brings new things, whether it’s hormonal shifts or expansion—there’s just so much our bodies go through, and it’s so interesting to experience it all.”
Sofia also revealed that she is expecting a baby girl.
“She’s growing pretty fast, so [the due date] is a bit up in the air,” the star added.
Sofia and Elliot, 30, tied the knot in April 2023 in a lavish ceremony in Antibes, France.
