‘PRECIOUS’
Fans rushed to the comments section to congratulate Sofia and Elliot on their new addition.

“This is the most precious thing I have seen all day!” a third fan wrote.

PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT
In late January, Sofia, the daughter of Lionel Richie, 74, and Diane Alexander, 56, revealed she was pregnant with her first baby.
The announcement came shortly after fans raised suspicions after noticing her seemingly trying to conceal a baby bump.
Sofia was previously seen covering up in an oversized trench coat as she shopped on Melrose Place in West Hollywood, California.
“I’ve learned more in the past six months than I have in my entire life,” Sofia told Vogue at the time.

“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.”
“She’s growing pretty fast, so the due date is a bit up in the air,” Sofia said at the time.
The baby news came less than a year after Sofia and Elliot, 30, married in a lavish ceremony in Antibes, France, in April 2023.
GENDER REVEAL
Sofia also revealed that she was expecting a baby girl in a gender reveal video on TikTok.
The short video featured the couple in their backyard.
They shot a cannon that blew pink confetti and smoke into the air.
Sofia ran around and screamed, exclaiming, “I’m so excited!” as her husband stood with his hand covering his mouth.
The couple shared a sweet embrace at the end of the intimate reveal.
“Sorry to all my neighbors for the horrifying scream,” she joked in the caption.
PREGNANCY SECRETS
Sofia kept fans updated on her favorite products throughout her pregnancy.
In February, the model shared her selection of must-have items as an expectant mother.
Sofia spoke candidly in a TikTok about specific beauty items she recommended.
The younger sister of Nicole Richie, 42, first admitted to being terrified of getting stretch marks.
“I know it comes with the territory but I’m doing everything that I can to prevent them,” she shared.
“My doctor, when I first found out that I was pregnant, was like, ‘I have this shea butter that people love.’
“I am obsessed. I’ve gone through six tubs,” she explained while holding up Bumpology’s Bump Butter.
Sofia also said she added Belly Oil by Hatch over Bumpology’s product, which helped prevent stretch marks.
The supermodel mentioned she took magnesium glycinate to improve her sleep, as well as New Chapter’s prenatal multivitamins.
Other products included Ross J. Barr’s Calm Patches, Summer Friday’s Birthday Cake lip balm, Tatcha’s Japanese Blotting Papers, and Lyma’s laser.
